You make some good points.
I still think that vetoing something like this based on a specific religion's belief system is wrong, whether or not it is in fact constitutional. And, I should add, I never said it was unconstitutional, I just asked how it wasn't. And saying it should be disallowed is only bigoted if I am specific to one particular religion. I don't think this should be done, regardless of which religion we are talking about, even my own.
I just don't like the mixing of religion and Government, period. And especially when it delays the potential cure of numerous diseases that many suffer from. My feelings aren't necessarily constitutionally sound.
In fact, I'll admit that the reason that ticks me off about this primarily is that there are more than a few diseases that these studies could possibly develop treatments for that I happen to have a family history of. I would really prefer that George Bush not slow that process down, regardless of what his personal beliefs are.
