President Bush tried to ban gay marriage and stem cell research on a national level.
This is a false and pernicious myth. President Bush merely refused to provide federal funding for stem-cell research from new embryos. Adult stem-cell research continued to receive federal funding, as did a limited amount of embryonic. And there was no “ban” on any stem-cell research. States and private individuals were free to do as much as they wanted, with their own money.
