What a hypocritical act from the murderer of millions , and what a nice tribute to the anti choice fundies! And another kick in the teeth to women under the guise of "Life" as he sails out the door. "Every child is welcome" but he can butcher women and destroy their lives.One more threat to Roe.Let us hope this can be repealed.

In one of his final actions in the White House, President Bush on Thursday declared Jan. 18 to be “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”

“All human life is a gift from our creator that is sacred, unique and worthy of protection. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world,” reads the presidential proclamation.

“The most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent. My administration has been committed to building a culture of life by vigorously promoting adoption and parental notification laws, opposing federal funding for abortions overseas, encouraging teen abstinence and funding crisis pregnancy programs,” the proclamation continues.

“The sanctity of life is written in the hearts of all men and women. On this day and throughout the year, we aspire to build a society in which every child is welcome in life and protected in law. We also encourage more of our fellow Americans to join our just and noble cause. History tells us that with a cause rooted in our deepest principles and appealing to the best instincts of our citizens, we will prevail.”

Bush is scheduled to deliver a farewell address Thursday night which White House counselor Ed Gillespie described during the morning briefing as “optimistic and future-oriented.”

1. Wow...

I'm sorry, you were disappointed by the expectation that DU might care. :hug:

I gave up my expectation that DU might share my choice commitment, after learning how many anti-choicers are members of this community. Well that and seeing pro-choice members called "murderers." :eyes:
