Some opponents of abortion say Bush should have tried to stop all funding of work using embryos and fetuses. Bush signaled his position in 2000, responding to a candidate questionnaire from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "I oppose using federal funds to perform fetal tissue research from induced abortions," he wrote. Some conservatives expect him to honor that.
Honoring a pledge? Ha ha! Those conservatives are suckers. Either Bush did not know about the law, in which case he is a dunce. Or, he doesn't care one way or the other, in which case he is not really a conservative. Well, who didn't know that?
Yes, it is. If you read the full article, you find out just how misleading the title is, because Bush had nothing to do with allowing funding of this research.
