"...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 Sunday, January 22, 2006, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to reaffirm our commitment to respecting and defending the life and dignity of every human being..."
Defend the life of every human being...What a noble thing.
From Iraq Body count:
Civilian deaths directly attributed to the United States Military:
28,000 to 31,676
Nearly another 100,000 dead due to secondary causes as a result of the Iraq war.
American Dead?
Closing in on 2300 with no end in sight.
I am ashamed of my country...So scared of shadows...so lacking in courage...
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision guaranteeing an American citizen's right to privacy. This decision is known as Roe v Wade.
Peace,
Steve
