Bush vetoes bill to expand the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research

Here's his message to the U.S. Senate along with an executive order expanding federal funding to pluripotent stem cell lines created without destroying human embryos and a fact sheet entitled "Advancing Stem Cell Research While Respecting Moral Boundaries."

UPDATE:Harry Reid's response to the veto speaks for itself. It's a prime example of the completely overstated hype and ignorant emotional appeals which embryonic stem cell proponents continue to retch around. It's like the staffer that wrote this doesn't know the first thing about the legislation, the current policy, or the science around stem cell research.
