House overturns fetal research ban fuels high stakes vote
The House approved a measure to overturn the ban on federal fetal tissue research, but failed to reach the margin needed to override a likely presidential veto. The bill, backed by Rep.

Bush supporters fear a three way race with Ross Perot could deny the president 270 electoral votes and push the decision to the House.
