Bush proclaims Sunday National Sanctity of Human Life Day

Monday, January 22, 2007 marks the 34th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States.

Just hot off the presses the full text of Bush's proclamation follows:

America was founded on the principle that we are all endowed by our Creator with the right to life and that every individual has dignity and worth. National Sanctity of Human Life Day helps foster a culture of life and reinforces our commitment to building a compassionate society that respects the value of every human being.

Does this "commitment to building a compassionate society" include helping to get already born individuals off of poverty by giving them a decent wage?  Does the "Decider" respect the value of every human being INCLUDING our soldiers in Iraq, or is he decidin' to send more "valuable" American human beings over there to be sitting ducks?

I think not.

Among the most basic duties of Government is to defend the unalienable right to life, and my Administration is committed to protecting our society's most vulnerable members. We are vigorously promoting parental notification laws, adoption, abstinence education, crisis pregnancy programs, and the vital work of faith-based groups. Through the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002," the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003," and the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004," we are helping to make our country a more hopeful place.

Is our country more hopeful because "W" has promoted Stem Cell Research which could have saved hundreds of thousands of already born human beings from devastating diseases?

I think not.

One of our society's challenges today is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning practices that violate the dignity of human life. With the right policies, we can continue to achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical and moral responsibilities.

Does this include "scientific progress" like putting a partisan hack who's against birth control in charge of national family planning programs?

I think not.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day serves as a reminder that we must value human life in all forms, not just those considered healthy, wanted, or convenient. Together, we can work toward a day when the dignity and humanity of every person is respected.

Does this "reminder" include reminding the "Decider" that he doesn't value the human lives lost in Afghanistan and Iraq because he hasn't fully funded veterans programs and other programs to take care of the families of our dead soldiers and to support our wounded soldiers?

I think not.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 21, 2007, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.

And now, you're going to invoke the Constitution, which you continuously spit upon.  Do the "ceremonies" of the massive anti-war marches planned for the next weekend count in your "proclamation"?  

How dare you, sir?

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

How dare you, sir?
