Senate to Vote on Funding for Embryonic Stem Cell Research April 11

On April 10, the U.S. Senate will begin debate on funding for embryonic stem cell research and a vote is expected on April 11. If the legislation passes, the president has promised that he will veto any funding bill that arrives on his desk. The question is whether there may be enough votes for an override.
