DeGette to lead protest during Bush visit |

![]() "She is just going there because the president has refused to meet with her on this issue, and to express her disappointment and outrage that he used his first and only veto on this potentially life-saving research," DeGette spokesman Brandon MacGillis said Thursday. The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., would have created ethical guidelines but then expanded the number of lines of embryonic stem cells that can be used in federally funded research. Bush and other critics, including many religious conservatives, equate embryonic research to the destruction of human life, and they only want federal funds used on research into stem cells derived from sources other than embryos. |
