Oklahoma Senate sustains Gov. Brad Henry's stem cell bill veto

Gov. Brad Henry today applauded state senators for sustaining his veto of a bill that would have made it a crime for a scientist to perform any form of embryonic stem cell research. Senators voted 26-19 this morning to override his veto. Senators needed 32 votes to override it. The Republican-controlled Senate took up the override attempt minutes after the House voted to override the governor's action.
