Defying the will of Congress (remember these votes in November!), President Bush sent a veto message (read the president's message here), that he would not sign HR 810, the "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005."
President Bush addressed the situation in Lebanon while meeting with members of Congress in the White House.
Secretary of State Rice met at the State Department today: New Zealand's Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peres, and Belgium's Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht. Next week she is scheduled to attend Southeast Asia's top security forum.

***voted for unanimously in the senate
Seriesly???***
That's what I read about an hour ago on FR. It does seem strange, doesn't it? Maybe the reporter got it wrong.

I had no idea you could adopt embryos. I'm not sure if I find it un-nerving or what. Are these children from fertilization treatments? I've never heard of parents deciding to give over the unused embryos for adoption, but apparently it's a good thing some choose to do so. Who carries the baby to term? So many questions...

I thought I read somewhere (can't quote where) that it got 63 yea votes in the Senate. I thought that was atrocious, and looked to override a Bush veto, which is why I inquired. But if the House is lacking those four crucial votes, it's good enough.
As urged earlier, I will pray.

LOL! You did not present your case strongly enough. Someone, not long ago, plead their case and won. Snugs must have been in a good mood that night. LOL!

It's possible some of the frozen embryos are brought to term through in-vitro fertilization with the mother who will raise the baby. Also, the possiblity exists of having another woman carry the baby to term, then the adoptive parents take over.

Yep, you're right. The vote was 63 to 37. I just looked it up on Fox News. That makes more sense.

I was on the thread, but had to leave. I came back and refreshed and there was the Dose, so I haven't searched for the info yet.

I think we need to take names of any R's that vote to override this important veto and run them out of town!

As I just told Gretchen, the Senate vote was 63 to 37. I'm glad not ALL the senators are to blame.
