“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... has a special place and purpose in this world,” reads the presidential proclamation.
Tell that to the children who go to bed starving, the ones who needed to see a doctor, undergo procedures, or get medicine that you prevented by vetoing Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 ("SCHIP").
Tell that to the family members of the executed and then vindicated after their deaths. Tell that to the young victims of Katrina who you watched perish on roof tops while playing golf.
Tell that to the 90,329 Iraqi babies, children, men, and women that have died in meritless war, or the innocent afghan citizens young and old who have died because you dropped the ball on the real front on terror.
Tell that to our own soldiers who put their lives on the line for a war motivated not on facts but on your thirst for blood and profits. Tell that to the people we are torturing; tell that to the US soldier’s that will face torture due to our own usage of torture.
Tell that to the girl who was just raped by her father, but has to get his permission for an abortion.
So please Mr. Bush, tell me again, how you oh noble President who was anointed by God values the lives of others.

I love the verse in Matthew that talks about the speck of dust in your brother's eye- while you have a log in your own.
Sometimes faith is more than what it should be, for those who would be righteious it can lead to judgemental behaviour instead of compassion.
It is the hypocrisy that makes me want to vomit. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but absence of consistency results in flawed logic and ideology. If you’re pro life and anti capital punishment and for protecting life at all stages, you do not fit into the group that that disgusts me.
Jan 20th cannot come any sooner.
"So please Mr. Bush, tell me again, how you oh noble President who was anointed by God values the lives of others."
... by slipping this into law, past all of of us, in his last moments of power.
The far-reaching regulation cuts off federal funding for any state or local government, hospital, health plan, clinic or other entity that does not accommodate doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other employees who refuse to participate in care they find ethically, morally or religiously objectionable. It was sought by conservative groups, abortion opponents and others to safeguard workers from being fired, disciplined or penalized in other ways.
But women's health advocates, family planning proponents, abortion rights activists and some members of Congress condemned the regulation, saying it will be a major obstacle to providing many health services, including abortion, family planning, infertility treatment, and end-of-life care, as well as possibly a wide range of scientific research.

So true. The man needed help and we just toss him in a place where no one cares and they only learn better ways to commit crimes?
Brilliant. Nice fucking work.
