Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Act
Category: Bush Administration • Washington • political interference • stem cells
Posted on: July 20, 2006 3:33 AM, by Nick Anthis
After it passed in the Senate on Tuesday, Bush proved he was as stubborn as promised and vetoed HR 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, on Wednesday. This was another step backwards for science in the US and a clear violation of the will of the American People. What a shame.
