The House has passed legislation by a vote of 238-194 expanding funding for embryonic stem cell research. It now moves on to the Senate which is expected to pass it easily. However, the president is still threatening to veto the legislation.

I'm still waiting for that press conference where Bush comes out against in vitro fertilization since unused embryos are destroyed in the process. This new legislation would stop that by allowing them to be used for research.

All four Wisconsin Republican House members voted against the bill.
