Happy Sanctity of Human Life Day!

[GreenKirby]

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.”

Now if only we honor human life in the remaining 364 days. Good thing we don't have too.

 

[Reaver197]

Ha! Bush committed to a culture of life?

Also, what separation of church and state?

 

[Livvers]

WHAT

THE****.

Looooooooool.

And reaver, you don't have to be religious to believe abortion is wrong.

WHAT

THE****.

Looooooooool.

And reaver, you don't have to be religious to believe abortion is wrong.

But you do have to be religious to say things like "'All human life is a gift from our creator...."

 

[Livvers]

Oh piss, I completely missed that =\

I mean, I know that's WHY he believes that, but I was actually thinking,"Wow, he didn't put religion into the statement." WRONG.

He almost didn't. That's the only part where he hints at God in the quote GreenKirby posted, as far as I can tell. Still, it's no secret that George Bush talks to God on a regular basis.

So, how useful is this day, exactly? Are we supposed to go around telling pregnant teenagers to put down the clothes hangers? I don't see the purpose here.

Just another way to get abortion rights thrown out.

 

[SuperRacoon]

Well, Bush took his last day in office to throw is beliefs out there one last time. Really though, I don't think anyone will even notice this a year from now.

 

[GreenKirby]

Nonsense, Mazaloth.

We all know Bush says "Sanctity of Human Life Day" he really means "Sanctity of Rich, Christian, White, Heterosexual, Middle Aged Male Life Day."

 

[forestflower]

this was one of bushes last sayings as president like someone said hes saying his farewelll with a statement of his beliefs

no one will probably remember this furhter on in the years we should just be happy that were getting a new president and hopefully things will get at least remotely better

 

[slave1]

so yeah is it just another one of the holidays that is really not important, like talk like a pirate day.

its probably going to be one of those, worlds child day holidays. but no one gets school off for it, and it is only recognized on Nickelodeon and the calendar

 

[Amide]

I was sorta pleased until he incorporated religion with it.

The message is good but it sounds silly.

 

[The Boss of God]

What authority does Bush have to declare a national holiday? I'm curious.

 

[SuperRacoon]

What authority does Bush have to declare a national holiday? I'm curious.

The general theme of the conversation so far of this thread is that he doesn't have the authority, and that no one except super conservatives is even gonna realize that it exists this time next year.

 

[Peeze]

The *******s tryna take away from MLK day and Obama day. **** whitie let the black man have a few.

 

[Livvers]

They can have the shortest month of the year. And maybe every once in a while an extra day.

 

[Zero Beat]

As long as it gets me out of school, I don't give a ****.

 

[Peeze]

They can have the shortest month of the year. And maybe every once in a while an extra day.

Until we get a longer month we will continue to impregnate your fat white trash populace and entertain the masses on Maury.

 

[Livvers]

So how do we lose out on this deal?

 

[Peeze]

On Topic:
I believe Bush pardoned alot of murderers too on Sanctity of life day, hmm. Irony anybody?

 

[Circus]

So how do we lose out on this deal?

Well, Maury would continue being aired. Which pisses everybody off. But other than that, I see no downsides.

Commence the coffee and cream baby making! And happy belated Sanctity of Human Life Day to the born-to-be (or not to-be).

 

[Lore]

Why should we sanctify human life? Because a white, mediocre monkey said for us to?

I'm sorry Bush, I'm out of kindergarten.


Most people are just gonna ignore this and move on.

 

[Zeruda]

Sounds like another way to throw anti-abortion views all over the place. Lame. I'm all for abortion, but I respect the opinions of those who are against it. But... making a "Sanctity of Human Life" day sounds like pushing beliefs on others, which is something I spit at.

where did you hear that

Why should we sanctify human life? Because a white, mediocre monkey said for us to?
