He did this to save face with his evangelical supporters.
He ran during the elections on a ticket that was against abortion (still legal), a gay marriage ban (which just failed), the Iraq war (which is still a mess), and opposing stem cell research.
One out of five ain't bad.

First we only know of possibilities that may result from stem cell research. We have no way of actually knowing what we will be able to do with them, so any wild speculation like "curing millions and millions of diseases" is meaningless (in terms of what will actually happen). For the record, there was more than 1 Bill (at least 3 I know of at this point) and Bush only vetoed one so far, banning farming of 3 day old fetus' (I may be wrong). However, I do not agree with his decision.

I know I'm going to piss off everyone by saying this, but I agree with Bush. Yes there are some good things that come from stem cell resaerch, but the thing is they are also looking at using the cells for genetic selection. In other countries, gender selection is a growing problem. The joys of having children are not affected by gender or other genetic issues. You love your children regardless. I think that genetic selection is another form of abortion. Which in my opioin is wrong. I think that when they propose a new bill(which they will) they should make it saying that they will not use the research for embryos, the it might get passed. No hate mail k?

i presumed that turned right into a very undesirable bypass on his section. i imagine each man or woman is easily-known with someone who ought to very a lot take advantage of stem cellular analyze, and he has taken that probability away because of a few nitpicky moral situation and non secular dogma. it is unlike stem cellular researchers are actively killing children, people. If it in touch six-month-old coming up fetuses, then yeah, you'll extra proper believe i'd have extra of a subject matter with it. as a results of the indisputable fact that is, they're coping with bundles of, what, 100 cells? and they are making use of those cells to maintain LIVES. With stem cellular analyze, abortion does no longer be as guilt-ridden as a results of the indisputable fact that is. the ladies who aborted ought to experience extra of a experience of closure understanding that they could have kept many lives instead of basically discarding one. possibly Dubya might want to imagine before making such stupid judgements.

Bush has never been known for thinking for the good of the public. If it would have helped his back pocket he would have passed that bill with out a thought.
LOL I said a funny. I said Bush has thoughts lol..

I'm philosophically opposed to the Federal government funding any research, so while I disagree with his reasoning, I agree with his result.
