The veto of HR 810 today is a confirmation of the reasons why I voted for [tag]President Bush[/tag] in 2000 and 2004. RedState points out why this was an important move for the [tag]President[/tag], and I don’t really have much to add to it at this point. But, this is particularly true:
It is fitting that the President’s first [tag]veto[/tag] would erase a bill to increase spending. Somehow, many in the [tag]Republican Party[/tag] who are opposed to increased spending have a blind spot on this morally divisive issue – perhaps some are merely opposed to increased spending on programs they dislike, and change their minds when it’s something that social conservatives care about. We wish the President would veto more increased spending as a rule, especially in areas where the free market should determine investment – as in this controversial circumstance – but it is a good start.
And, to second what Powerline points out, this is not a ban on [tag]stem cell research[/tag]. It isn’t a ban on anything (unfortunately). It is a roadblock to increasing spending to do a highly immoral act of destroying human life at a time when nothing terribly significant has come from researching embryos, and plenty of significant findings have come from [tagadult stem cells[/tag].
