yeah...he chooses to restrict funding of arguably the most valuable avenue for medical research in decades. Second dumbest thing he's done...y'all can pick your own favorite "First dumbest thing".

It's not banned, is it? In my opinion, one of the smarter things he's done, just for the wrong reasons.

Well since it is arguably the most valuable avenue for medical research in decades Im sure there are plenty of venture capitalists out there salivating at the chance to invest in such lucrative untapped market. Lack of federal funding shouldnt make much of a difference.

I hate this veto, but I wonder how many broke ranks to vote for a popular bill in an election year, knowing that a veto was coming and it would never actually become law anyway.

We wont hijack this to another AC utopian thread. You may be right you may be wrong in the long run. Federal funding would remove that doubt.

Great quote from a family group in this article about Bush's defense of the "preborn." It's the first time I've seen this term used to describe an embryo. Hell, it's the first time I've seen it used in any context.

Let's see what he can do now in defense of the "predead."

Hardly a new term. Its used in the abortion debate and even pre-natal care instructions.
