Henry's Stem Cell Veto Faces Override Attempt

UPDATE: The House today overrode the veto, but the Senate failed to do so. It appears likely that Governor Henry's late-night veto of a bill that would make it a crime for a scientist to perform any form of embryonic stem cell research will face an override attempt by the Legislature.

Henry vetoed the bill, opposed by the Oklahoma City and Tulsa chambers of commerce for what they claim would be its economic impact on scientific research, saying it has nothing to do with abortion as its supporters claim.
