Just wanted to show you this headline coming from, drumroll, please; Baptist Press. I just opened up my google home page and this was on the top of the 'in the news' links. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a news organization would phrase it like that. Shoulda known better.

WASHINGTON (BP)--For the second time in less than a year, President Bush vetoed a bill June 20 that would have provided provide federal funds for stem cell research that destroys human embryos.
The president announced his rejection of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act in a White House ceremony in which he also disclosed the signing of an executive order to expand efforts to conduct ethical stem cell studies. Bush used the first veto of his presidency in July 2006 to nullify a similar bill.
"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," Bush said at the White House event. "I made it clear to Congress and to the American people that I will not allow our nation to cross this moral line. Last year, Congress passed a similar bill. I kept my promise by vetoing it, and today I am keeping my word again."
The Senate will have first shot at a veto override, which requires a two-thirds majority, but supporters of the bill appear incapable of reaching that goal in both chambers.
