Bush declares ‘National Sanctity of Human Life Day.’
As one of his final actions in office, President Bush proclaimed today that Jan. 18 is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. In his official statement, Bush made it clear that his conception of “human life” includes the unborn:
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. We also underscore our dedication to heeding this message of conscience by speaking up for the weak and voiceless among us.
Bush also used the occasion to tout his legacy of anti-choice policies, such as promoting parental notification laws and opposing Federal funding for abortions overseas.

“All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection.”
unless, of course, that human life happens to be Muslim. In that case, drop depleted uranium on them.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:35 pmIt just goes to show… that he needs to declare it a special day just to appreciate the sanctitiy Human life.
At least he can be himself for the other 364 days.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pmNews Flash, Shrubbie. Its a little late to try and convince anyone you believe this. Your actions speak much louder than words.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:39 pmSo do all fetuses get the day off work?
January 15th, 2009 at 3:40 pmWouldn’t it be lovely if the Bushwah believed in the sanctity of life for the ALREADY born?
January 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmIs there any way we can lock this imbecile in a windowless bathroom for the next five days?
January 15th, 2009 at 3:43 pmUhhh, Bushitler, in case you haven’t noticed, the wars YOU unleashed hardly respects the National Sanctity of Human Life today, or any other day.
Swing from the gallows you war criminals.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:44 pm“All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection.”
I am sure residents of the ninth ward would be glad to hear dummya held them in such high regards.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:44 pmEvery sperm is sacred… every sperm is good… every sperm is needed…in your neighborhood!
January 15th, 2009 at 3:45 pmThe fine print reads as follows:
Not applicable to liberals, brown people we decide to bomb, soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines of US and/or allied forces we decide to needlessly sacrifice in misguided wars, citizens, residents and visitors who we fail to protect because reading those daily briefings about bin Laden was too difficult, residents of New Orleans, anybody we decide to detain and torture and anyone else who gets in our way. This coupon has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for a free shake, jeebus loves you, god less america now get out of my way, I’m off to Dallas (or Paraguay if Congress and the Justice Department start doing their jobs)
January 15th, 2009 at 3:48 pmThey keep “catapulting the propaganda”. The effort to resurrect this dim-wits “legacy” is kicking into high gear.
I know many won’t believe me – but we will see jeb in the WH eventually.
Remember, they don’t actually have to count the votes and the MSM will create a rational for the lies and stolen elections.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:49 pmBush,
I have a collection of little souls waiting to be born. Send me your address in Dallas and I will mail the Kleenex ASAP.
Give them all good homes now. More to follow.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmYou’re a few hundred thousand human lives too late, George W. Bush.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:50 pmSay, perhaps Chimpy ought to proclaim this happy day in a market in downtown Baghdad! I’m sure the Iraqis would be deeeelighted!
January 15th, 2009 at 3:54 pmAll human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred….
….so says the mass-murdering WAR CRIMINAL.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:55 pmSo capital punishment will be abolished that day? The day will be spent condemming Isreal and himself for killing so many innocent people?
What if an embryo’s purpose is to further research and development to cure humanity’s ills? It’s kinda like saying 4500 military personnel were worth it.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmBeat me to it, Bob. I was checking to see if someone else noticed that, too. :)
January 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmAll human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection.
And how many executions of prisoners on Death Row were scheduled for today? Think they might want to re-schedule them, preferably for next century?
January 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmBush also used the occasion to tout his legacy of anti-choice policies, such as promoting parental notification laws and opposing Federal funding for abortions overseas.
That’s what our cluster bombs are for…
January 15th, 2009 at 3:58 pmAccept, of course, the U.S. govt and courts are still allowed to play God with post-born life as is the case with W’s fervent defense and heavy use of the death penalty particularly as governor of TX.
Right in line with the Reagan doctrine of fervent support of all human rights … until you’re born.
So this is conservatism, is it?
January 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pmi’m gonna celebrate NSHL Day with roast fetus, fava beans and a lovely Chianti!
January 15th, 2009 at 3:59 pmThis from the man who couldn’t even take the time to honor any of our fallen heroes, except where politically expedient such as in Pat Tillman’s case.
There’s a special section of Hell just waiting for this man.

Yanno, hypocrisy and stupidity really ought to be painful.

…including every person waiting to be born…
1) It’s not a person, it’s a fetus, or more appropriatley, it’s a mass of cells devoloping into tissues (and eventually organs).
January 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pm2) I don’t think a fetus “waits” to be born. In fact, I’m pretty sure the fetus would stay in the warmth of the womb for eternity, if it could.
3) When does our Day of Mourning for those who couldn’t enjoy National Sanctity of Human Life Day because of miscarriage begin???
4) Better yet, why does this quote “We also underscore our dedication to heeding this message of conscience by speaking up for the weak and voiceless among us.” not include innocent Iraqis?
5) And finally, nice to see that after almost 8 brutal years in office, you get your little “shout out to all your homies” who elected you in the first place. Oh sure, abortion rates really never drastically decreased, let alone stopped altogether. But, you must appease the masses, eh dum fck?
Hey, I know, why don’t you go celebrate your National Sanctity of Human Life Day at a hospital or home in the Gaza Strip, you mucking foron!

Their mistake was that Katrina didn’t happen on January 18, ‘National Sanctity of Human Life Day.’
January 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmIf Pol Pot’s mother, Stalin’s mother, Hitler’s mother, Cheney’s mother and George Bush’s mother all had opted to end their ill-fated pregnacies…….
How many lives would have been saved ?
How much suffering would have been spared ?
How much better would Humanity be ?
IJS !
January 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pmHe cared so little about the lives of the innocent Iraqis and over 4000 soldiers and marines that he lied them into a war that was unnecessary and then continued the fantasy for over five years. W is a useless liar.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:04 pm4226 lives given up in a needless, unwarranted, illegal war.
Hypocrite.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:08 pmGet the hell out of town.
Your war crimes trial is on the horizon.
Perhaps Pres Obama will declare Numbnuts’ birthday “National Lying Hypocritical Piece of Sh!t Day”.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:11 pmA day of mourning, of course.
January 18th is Sunday. How convenient>
(Reverend Woghollow)
Dearly beloved, our glorious god fearing president, who can’t hear the lord so well anymore it seems, shout out a little louder if you will… has made this day special!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmIn appreciation he has asked us all to contribute mightily to the furtherance of his higher calling!
Please find the little envelope inserted (forgive me lord!) in your bulletins, and make the check out to the George W. Bush Memorial Library! Praise be to George!”
I just keep thinking…5 more days, 5 more days, 5 more days
He should have declared this during his first year in office and actually kept the promise!! A little too late form him now

— that sort of thing has happened to me as well, I don’t know why it happens.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:16 pmDoes “National Sanctity of Human Life Day” mean that all scheduled executions are stayed — at least for the day? Does it mean that just for that day all of our troops stand down in Iraq? Does it mean amnesty for all Americans who have run up huge medical and/or pharmaceutical bills just to stay alive?
Nah — it’s just a bone he’s throwing to anti-abortionists. When the wingnuts say “sanctity of life” they are only talking about the pre-born kind.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pmThis from the peanut butter & ‘red’ jelly man?
Sanctity of life…was that what Babs & Dad did the day your little sister died & instead of telling you about it they went golfing?
This from the guy who’s ‘biggest disappointment’ was no WMDs in Iraq? So disappointed that to support the sanctity of life he bombed & killed thousands of children & babies?
Is this the sanctity of life he considered when the EPA denied clean air standards in CA to protect unborn babies & children?
Was it sanctity of life that propelled him to allows him to support Israelis bombing & killing children & babies in Gaza?
W, if your Savior is Jesus Christ, you better pray to your God that Jesus shows more compassion to you than you have to the ‘Sanctity of Life’.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pmI have found that people who talk about “the sanctity of human life” really do not believe in “the sanctity of human life”. They are nothing more than anti-abortionists. They could not care less what happens to people already born. Not one bit. This is just more hypocrisy from the Hypocrite-in-Cheif.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:25 pmNATIONAL SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE DAY WILL COMMENCE THE DAY THAT THE MORON G.W.BUSH LEAVES OFFICE! and not a moment too soon!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pm…including every person waiting to be born…
I take this to mean that they would have to first prove that embryos/fetuses were “persons.” This has not been done.
.
Bob Says:
So capital punishment will be abolished that day?
Wow, it would really suck to be executed on “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”
Should the government be making declarations of “Sanctity?” Wouldn’t that constitute an establishment of religion?

The number is far, far higher than that if you consider non-Americans to be persons. I believe that the conservatives don’t.

Dr. Hussein Matt Says:
The Bible defines life when a baby draws its first breath. The Bible defines life as “breath” in several passages, including the story of Adam’s creation.
Modern fundamentalist Christianity has become completely divorced from its theological basis. It owes far more to the tent-revivals of the early 1900’s than it does to historical Christianity or Judaism. Consider all the “left behind” stuff, none of which is in the bible at all. They’re more off-script than the Mormons are by now, and are pretty much just making up new things to believe in at an ever-increasing pace.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:32 pmWow… Just one day huh?
(1-18-09) “Everybody calm down…we are on cease fire to celebrate national sanctity of human life day. Tomorrow you can go back to bombing each other.”
Anyone expect him to condemn war for a day and be daring enough to call for a cease fire?
Didn’t think so
January 15th, 2009 at 4:35 pmBush, like all wingnuts, lives in an irony-free zone.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:39 pm#26,DRxJ, Just wish I could rec that a thousand times!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:42 pmIs it ‘coincidence’ he chose the day before Martin Luther King, Jr.’s National observance?
January 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pm“President Bush proclaimed today that Jan. 18 is National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”
First thought I had upon reading that was that I must’ve stumbled upon The Onion. Top notch parody — doesn’t get any funnier than that.
Just saying . . .
January 15th, 2009 at 4:51 pmSo every fetus, every egg, every sperm, must be protected.
But once that person is out of the womb, he/she is on their own. Unless, of course, that person came out with a silver spoon in their mouths.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:51 pmHURRAY!!! Does this mean that he’ll finally tell the Israeli government to stop their attacks on Gaza?
January 15th, 2009 at 4:52 pmDoes this guy make-up crap as he goes along or what? Doesn’t this apply to all the hunderds of thousands of Iraqis and our sevicemen or women? I get wait till next Tuesday!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:59 pmHi bit!
January 15th, 2009 at 5:00 pmJanuary 18?
That’s the day I’m scheduled for my partial birth abortion!
January 15th, 2009 at 5:00 pmIsn’t this the same man that set a record for executions in Texas, or was it the country? Also, the name Carla Faye Tucker might ring a bell.
January 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pmAnd people are going to recognize this holiday how? Bombing women’s clinics?
January 15th, 2009 at 5:06 pmSo how soon till O’Reilly is going to imagine a War on this one?
So Zooey are those things like tatoos? Once you get one you feel compelled to get more and more?

So…
January 15th, 2009 at 5:18 pmDo all American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan put down their rifles for the day?
This has been referred to in posts above, but isn’t it astounding that this horrible man, who has killed 100s of thousands of Iraqis- many of them children- and who supports Israel when they kill thousands in Lebanon & Gaza – many of them children, & who executed how many while governor of Texas??– isn’t it astounding that he has the audacity to do this.

January 15th, 2009 at 5:24 pmMy face is red – 4226 is the official number of American soldiers dead because of Bush – the number from other countries, and the tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of Iraqis make the total even more obscene.
Interestingly enough, the man claiming every life is a gift from got is impotent and had to knock up his old gal via artificial insemination.
Why does god hate W, and denied him the “gift” of creating life?

Parental notification laws? Ohh the humanity! Make it stop! Just kidding. Am 110% in favor of notifying parents.
Absolutely. So when a 15 year old’s abusive father who has spent her whole life telling her he’ll kill her if she gets knocked up gets that phone call, he can take care of it himself instead of relying on the government.
January 15th, 2009 at 5:54 pmThe whole point of not having notification laws is to protect that kid. See the kids that don’t need the law live in families in which they can come to parents with difficult matters…
Oh and apparantly it isn’t obvious to the experts that torture doesn’t work but that is a whole different matter.

“Bush declares ‘National Sanctity of Human Life Day.’”
He could care less of the soldiers who died for this country in a war on false pretenses and of the children and adults who are denied healthcare for pre-exist conditions, yet he declares this Sunday a National Sanctity of Human Life Day? Big slap in the face, George!
January 15th, 2009 at 6:12 pmYou tell us Tracy.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:13 pmTell us how you twittered with glee when we started killing those Iraqis, u sik phuk.
Tell us about your support for capitol punishment too.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:15 pmI bet Tracy has something that would fit in a thimble, too. Something other than his shriveled conscience.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:20 pmI’ve been around here a long time Tracy, and have a long memory for the rantings of the wingnuts, yourself included.
Leave the revisionist history to the pros.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:22 pmSay this is a joke please.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:25 pmincluding every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world.
Yeah, work a job you hate, compete jobs with foreigners, live the life of a financial slave.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pmAnd another point—studies say universal healthcare (like every civilized country in the world) would save 18,000 lives every year. So, not having it since 1969 has meant the unnecessary deaths of 720,000 Americans. Just so corporations can continue their obscene profits.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pmThis coming from a man who publicly said he didn’t believe God inspired the bible and that he doesn’t follow God when deciding things. Bush helped Israel with the Palestine Holocaust Massacre as hundreds of innocent children were murdered now he’s all about Faith. I guess the Republican Christian Base will buy this trick too. As we’re seen Republican Christian Pasters who have sex with men while condeming gays and others who call for the assassination of World Leaders. Bush and his lunatic Christian followers have proven they are lunatics and really follow Satan. Cheney is Satan’s son.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pmMost “life” people are against capital punishment – at least the Catholic ones are.

Tracy__5 Says:
So after there is a brain, heartbeat, fingers, and toes does that qualify a human?
It qualifies as “human” when it’s still a zygote, because species is determinable by DNA. However, it doesn’t qualify as a “person” until the brain has formed a neural network.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:10 pm1. If personhood begins at conception, then God murders more babies than He creates, because about 60% of fertillized eggs fail to implant.
2. ‘Course, He eventually kills everybody. Life sacred? How do you figure that?
3. This assumes that the li’l tadpoles want to be born. Shouldn’t there be a questionnaire? “1. out into a cold, bright, dangerous world filled with howling sounds and things bending down to poke you, where you have to scream for your nutriment, and have to wee and poop all the time, and eventually work and listen to Rush Limbaugh and Ryan Seacrest and then die. 2. Back to Heaven.” Give them a choice while they’re waiting!
January 15th, 2009 at 7:28 pmsomebody ought to send him a reminder about the nearly 1 million dead in iraq.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pmmoron.
The thing that biblethumpers actually have a problem with is any human agency interfering with the notion that God personally decides when any life begins and ends. They’ll complain about “playing God” whenever anyone tries to control either their own reproduction or the end of their life. Pharmacists refusing to sell plan-B is at one end of it, and Terry Schiavo is at the other.
The point is that this isn’t about “life” – if it was, grow some potted plants. And it’s not even about “human life,” or stem cell research would be great – they make lots and lots more of those in petri dishes. For rational people, it’s about personhood. For biblethumpers, it’s about taking control of decisions that they feel only God (i.e. chance) should be allowed to make.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:41 pmAnd iffy that thinking is, Bruce. God didn’t put a feeding tube in Terry Schiavo. Medical science did.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:47 pmBush, what a criminal hypocrite! Cheney, Delay, Gram; all the RepubliCons are a bunch of hypocrites, criminal hypocrites.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:53 pmwhat a tool.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:27 pmFor biblethumpers, it’s about taking control of decisions that they feel only God (i.e. chance) should be allowed to make.
For biblethumpers, it’s also about ducking the ultimate responsibility for their own choices and actions.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:44 pmThey forget the part about god giving mankind free will.
When things go good, they might remember to thank god. When things go bad they say “It’s god’s will”, in effect, laying the blame at gods feet.
ElBruce, dbadass
Fathers are not molesting their daughters and threatening to “kill them if they get knocked up”. Thats just DUMB. A relative might threaten a kid not to TELL ON HIM or he’d kill her. IF she did get pregnant, the rapist would WANT her to get an abortion so he didn’t get busted through dna evidence. Duh.

Fathers are not molesting their daughters and threatening to “kill them if they get knocked up”. Thats just DUMB.
I was referring to a physically abusive father, but incest is also a possibility. So, you’re saying that never happens. That no teenage daughters are deathly terrified of their parents finding out, and that even if there were, none of them have good reason to be.
That’s a very interesting view of reality. You’re lucky to live in such a wonderful country where things like that never happen. Me, I live in America, and it happens all the time – usually because of the presence of all those damn social conservatives.
January 15th, 2009 at 9:40 pmDuh.
January 15th, 2009 at 9:44 pmElBruce,
No Bruce. An abusive molesting father does not WANT to go to prison for child rape. Because he cannot continue to rape children if he’s locked up in jail. This is no hugely complex concept.

1) Some people only beat their families. They don’t always have sex with them. I don’t know how many more times I have to say this.
2) Child molesters are usually idiots, and only concerned with their own urges. Much like Republicans.
You’re actually overcomplicating it.

January 16th, 2009 at 12:32 amHey rrdaos2:
Do you think married woman should have to get their husbands permission to abort? Are you 110 behind that one too? Wanna hear about the kid who watched dad beat the shit out of mom and them set her on fire with a blowtorch?
A little more focus on the living and a little less on the cells might make a little more sense…
January 16th, 2009 at 12:34 amBush thinks white life is important. Then all the rest is sh!t out of luck. Wouldn’t that be considered genocidal in some regard?
Heinrich Himmler would be proud of George W. Bush’s actions, they’re so Nazi in-practice!
January 16th, 2009 at 1:31 amGeorge W. Bush lied, and Bush murdered more than 4,220 U.S. service members.
It is very inappropriate for Bush to be talking about the sanctity of human life.

All human life is a gift from our Creator, that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection.”
Unless you’re a member of the military that was sent off to Iraq, the Bush War of Choice, without the proper body armor, without the proper training, without appropriate numbers, without enough IED-proof vehicles, without the ability to get out after one term, and in the thick of uranium-enhanced metal parts and dust.

Caring for your children, as opposed to killing them, is taking responsibility. Most Christians don’t blame God for the bad things in the world. They know it is all the result of sin in the world. ;)

Most of our brains are just fine. Now we just need to do something about the remaining social conservatives. But at the rate that they’re inbreeding amongst their own group, I’m concerned that they may stop evolving entirely, and the rest of us will leave them behind.

As I understand it from listening to them, if some people do it in the butt, the Lord lifts his “invisible shield of protection,” allowing bad things to occur to the entire population. That’s because God will stop at no lengths to get at people who do it in the butt. Make sense now?

Sure it does. If humans had practiced a little self control in the beginning, none of those things would be happening. ;)

January 17th, 2009 at 12:26 amNo I never heard of it. Maybe because a soon to be forgotten bunch of dipshits wanted to call it climate change to make it less scary
I don’t think party affiliation is encoded in the DNA.

Wasn’t it the global warming alarmists who began using the term climate change to explain the extreme cold of late? ;)
January 17th, 2009 at 8:50 amYou all need to give President Bush respect. We have not had a terrorist attack since Sept 11th 2001. I am a US Marine and have seen first hand what we have done in Iraq. Any of you who have not to Iraq, really have no place to talk when it comes to how the Iraqis are treated.
Life begins at conception regardless of what you all believe. The Fetus is alive and has a heartbeat at as early as 5 weeks which is usually right around when most women find out that they are pregnant.
A hospital checks for the heartbeat to determine whether a person is considered diseased. If this is how we measure death, then this should also be how we measure life.
God Bless All of you!
