I know little of this topic, but my impression is that what he's blocking involves fetal stem cells, that those cells are only available from dead feti, and that he believes that, if one opposes abortion, one must also oppose the use of those aborted feti, from where, I presume, most such cells come.
So, in the anti-abortion crowd's minds, and, obviously, in Bush's mind, you are choosing your life over the lives of others.
Obviously, if you are not among that anti-abortion crowd, this argument resonates not at all. But, to make the statements that you made without even acknowledging the basis for their anti-stem-cell position is sort of simplistic, I think, and pretty much guarantees that there will never be productive discussion.
