[T]here is no such thing as a spare embryo. Every embryo is unique and genetically complete, like every other human being. And each of us started out our life this way. These lives are not raw material to be exploited, but gifts.
--President George W. Bush
Conservative critics of President Bush for his weak and wobbly stance on ILLEGAL immigration can pause from their outrage over that for a moment.
They can praise the President for making good on his steadfast pledge to defend the sanctity of life.
WASHINGTON -- Pushing back against the Democratic-led Congress, President Bush vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have eased restraints on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.
Democrats, who had made the stem cell legislation a top priority when they took control of the House and Senate in January, were quick to denounce the president's decision.
"This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., told the Take Back America conference of liberal activists Wednesday.
I can't stand it when libs like Hillary Clinton twist the principled position of Culture of Life proponents.
Bush didn't put ideology before science. He didn't veto science.
He prevented additional federal dollars from being used to clone human life and destroy it.
He vetoed unethical science.
Apparently, Hillary's reality includes cloning human life and using it as raw material for research and experimentation. That's her vision for America.
It's not mine.
