For the second time, George Bush vetoes a bill that would have eased the restraints on stem cell research. Once again, he chooses his personal, religious views over the views and wishes of the majority of the country. I swear this guy thinks he is King! He says "Destroying human life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical," "And it is not the only option before us." I find those statements incredibly ridiculous, not to mention, hypocritical considering what he's doing in Iraq. First of all, we're not talking about "human life", these are embryonic stem cells, that have no hope of life outside of a uterus. Secondly, isn't he responsible for destroying the lives of thousands of American soldiers?! Was it his only option?! It seems that he only values human life from conception through the first nine months.
He also said, "If this legislation became law it would compel American taxpayers for the first time in our history to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos. I made it clear to Congress and to the American people that I will not allow our nation to cross this moral line." Again, so absurd, he makes it sound like they are ripping apart babies for science. We're talking about extra eggs that will end up in the trash cans of the fertility clinics. And, how ironic that he doesn't have a problem with compelling taxpayers to support his ridiculous war that kills real, live human beings!
