I agree with it. It is abortion.

I can rarely say this, but yes, I agree with Bush's decision. The government has no right to take money from citizens at the point of a gun, and then use it to fund research the citizens consider immoral or simply inappropriate.
However, it is important to remember that Bush's veto only blocks federal funding of stem cell research - not the research itself. With this in mind, I passionately hope that some private interest will continue stem cell research, and someday use stem cells to cure debilitating diseases.
Because of Bush's veto, neither medical research nor property rights must now be sacrificed.

He probably didn't read the legislation is my conclusion.
The legislation would authorize federal funds of embryos that the owners of the embryos are going to have destroyed otherwise. This isn't an abortion issue. If pro-life want to adopt the egg, it wouldn't be available to the federal research. That was how specifically the legislation was worded.
It is like pro-life people have decided that either it will be a human or it will be destroyed. I don't agree with the whole poison well theory they seem to promote.

George Bush is NOT BANNING stem cell research, just simply the federal funding of it.
The liBS and the media love to state downright lies!!!!
Show me, where, in the Constitution that it allows the federal funding of ANY type of research.
Remember - PRIVATE stem cell research is alive and strong.

I agree with his decision. This does NOT stop research, it only stops federal funding. Many taxpayers have reservations about this new technology and should not be forced to pay for it. If this research is going to do all proponents say, then a private company stands to make a lot of money from its development. Let private funds be used for this venture.

If he thinks it's murder like his press secretary said, then why doesn't he ban ALL of embryonic stem cell research? He's an incompetent @ss kissing lackey to Dick Cheney and the Right Wing.

bush is an idiot- i don't agree with him on anything. valid reasons- no, just trying to play god. and his veto will not stop research. it will certainly slow things down in our country, but the research is being done world-wide.

Agree...and yes. Embryos are not here to prod at and exploit.

Disagree.
This is something worth studying, it's only logical.
God I wish he weren't stupid.
