WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative anti-abortion senators were split on Tuesday ahead of a vote on a stem cell research bill that appears destined to draw the first veto of George W. Bush's presidency. 

The bill, already approved by the U.S. House of Representatives and set to win Senate passage later in the day, has broad bipartisan support. Most Democrats and roughly 20 Republicans support it.
