I'm not apologizing for anything because I do not see this as a major issue, just like I don't see abortion as a major issue. It just seems to me that Bush's position on this is consistent with his pro-life views, though, inconsistent with his pro-dealth penalty views. Similarly, the left's positions are consistent with the death penalty views, but inconsistent with their pro-choice/abortion views.
I have not yet formed a position on either stem cell research or abortion, though I tend to side on the side of science in most cases. I am anti-death penalty.
