Conservatives urge Bush veto on fetal tissue transplant bill
Congress moved a broad NIH research bill through the House 274 to 144 despite a veto threat over a provision to lift the ban on federally funded fetal tissue transplants from abortions. Supporters cite potential cures for Parkinsons and other diseases while conservatives warn it could encourage abortions and liken it to Frankenstein. The Senate has not acted yet.
