(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal says he disagrees with President Obama on stem cell research. The president Monday cleared the way for increases in federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, arguing in the interests of scientific and medical advances. Obama lifted funding restrictions on the research imposed by former President George W. Bush. Jindal told reporters he saw it as an issue akin to abortion and he supported the Bush administration’s restrictions, which blocked some funding because embryos are destroyed to create the cell lines.
