Back in the United States, President Bush has vetoed a bill funding research on embryos from human stem cells. Wednesday’s move marks the third veto of his presidency.

President Bush: “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, and I kept my promise by vetoing it. And today I’m keeping my word again. I’m vetoing the bill that Congress has sent.”

Democrats will need a two-thirds majority in Congress to overturn the veto.
