President Bush Declares National Pro-Life Day Sunday, Opposing Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Bush declared Sunday to be a national pro-life day for Americans to recognize the sanctity of human life. With elections this year and a new president taking office this time next year, it could be the last of Sanctity of Human Life Day that President Bush can declare during his two terms as president. "On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we recognize that each life has inherent dignity and matchless value, and we reaffirm our steadfast determination to defend the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society," the president said in a proclamation LifeNews.com obtained. The president said American was founded on the believe that people should be treated equally and that they have an right to life that government should not abridge. Bush said the nation remains committed to that principle and that he has tried to uphold pro-life values as president. "Since taking office, I have signed legislation to help protect life at all stages, and my Administration will continue to encourage adoption, fund abstinence education and crisis pregnancy programs, and support faith-based groups," he said.
