House passes stem cell research bill
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to remove limits on the use of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, the third of six bills the Democratic majority has vowed to pass in its first 100 hours of work.
The vote was 253-174. President Bush put in place the limits in 2001, and he vetoed a similar measure lifting them last July. |
