National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2009
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of AmericaAll 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.
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. In 2002, I was honored to sign into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which extends legal protection to children who survive an abortion attempt. I signed legislation in 2003 to ban the cruel practice of partial-birth abortion, and that law represents our commitment to building a culture of life in America. Also, I was proud to sign the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004, which allows authorities to charge a person who causes death or injury to a child in the womb with a separate offense in addition to any charges relating to the mother.
America is a caring Nation, and our values should guide us as we harness the gifts of science. In our zeal for new treatments and cures, we must never abandon our fundamental morals. We can achieve the great breakthroughs we all seek with reverence for the gift of life.
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, 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 January 18, 2009, 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
GEORGE W. BUSH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Many Americans haven’t heard about Congress’ plans to expand abortion through the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) — and other bills like it that would eliminate virtually every pro-life law in the country and force taxpayers to help pay for it.

Hi Susan...Thanks for answering our question
Your awesome! OK...Now I know you asked me a question about the Bunches assignment about if they could be the same color just different shades?? and i told you....good question but lets not
well......I have had a little fusterating morning doing the contest. Some people just dont read the rules. Normally I just email them and say sorry its not within the rules. Wich I did do to a few people this morning. BUT...only one I just left alone....its the M&M's one...Im just allowing it...it is differnt shades but all green. Some people argued with me on how it should be ok with different shades. Not the M&M s girl tho.....OTHERS! Then they didnt even enter LOL .......sigh... I just wanted to explaine this to you, so when you saw it....you dont kill me LOL
I hate not entering anyone spicture.....but some this week were so NOT within the rules. I had to leave out 4 so far...Im trying to give them a second chance and get me in a new one this morning. anyways.....this was longer then I expected LOL
I just wanted to explaine
Awwww...Kathleen...I am sorry it's been so frustrating this morning. I liked your answer about not allowing shades...made it more of a challenge because I did have *bunches* of ideas but sticking to one color and not shades was ok..it worked.
But you do what you need to do to make it all ok. Thank you for letting me know.
Thanks for posting this Susan. We need lots of prayer to continue to protect human life in this country.
