Amy Ridenour highlights a post on Notes & Musings and points out one section of it.

I want to highlight just one sentence from it: “President Bush’s ban doesn’t outlaw the research; it outlaws federal funding of the research.” Yes, and even that’s not a total ban. Still, how often do we hear about “Bush’s ban on stem cell research” as if he had actually banned all stem cell research? How many Americans even realize that privately-funded embryonic stem cell research remains perfectly legal?

Many Democrat voters seem to think that if the feds don’t underwrite it, it’s not happening (like Barry, Puddle Wonderful, Allison, Jen, Gordon, and Steve, just to name a few…thank you BlogPulse). Embryonic stem cell research is not illegal folks. If you really enjoyed Ron Reagan’s speech, you should have noticed that he was only talking about federal funding of that research.

If you’re going to bash Bush, please at least get your facts straight.
