Bush vetoes stem cell bill

[Mockery]

Scott Rosenberg (49) notes, thousands of embryos will be destroyed though IVF procedures. Rosenberg then argues that if destroying embryos is destroying human life, then Bush should be against IVF (a position, as noted above, that Leon Kass takes). If President Bush is against the destruction of embryos, he should have called for the closing of fertility clinics. For Rosenberg, the "courageous" stance would be to distinguish "between embryos created with intent to produce life, and those created solely to be destroyed for their stem cells."
