Brad, old friend, You do take on so.
I would not be surprised if Bush vetoes - only to be overridden by a two thirds majority. Then Bush would have tried "to do the right thing" for his religious supporters but unfortunately failed. As a politician, Bush must surely realize the enormous support for stem cell research including among Washington politicians. He can't change his views easily and publicly, but he can allow the over-ride to defeat him. (He just might not veto on the grounds that he will be overridden - but that I doubt. He has to make the gesture.) Contraceptives? Heck, Catholics don't even obey the Pope.

Therefore, first it will be no federal money for stem cell research, and then it will be prohibiting stem cell research altogether, and then it will be making all artificial contraceptives illegal, and who knows what next. \brad mccormick _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
