"Human life is a gift from our Creator -- and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale." BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry WestenWASHINGTON, February 1, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - During his State of the Union address last night, U.S. President George W. Bush gave voice to his pro-life and pro-family supporters.ÂNoting that in “recent years, America has become a more hopeful nation,” the President boasted that “there are fewer abortions in America than at any point in the last three decades.” He also mentioned a decline in violent crime, welfare cases, drug use, and teen pregnancies, citing these (and the fewer abortions) as “evidence of a quiet transformation—a revolution of conscience, in which a rising generation is finding that a life of personal responsibility is a life of fulfillment.”On life issues, Bush also said, “A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life.”Addressing himself to Congress, the President asked for the passage of “legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.”He concluded the point saying, “Human life is a gift from our Creator—and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale.”President Bush also raised the fact that “many Americans, especially parents, still have deep concerns about the direction of our culture.” They are, he said, “discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage.” Shortly after which he praised the newly appointed members of the Supreme Court - Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito.He encouraged his listeners not to give in to dismay and helplessness.“As we look at these challenges, we must never give in to the belief that America is in decline, or that our culture is doomed to unravel,” he said. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/us-president-includes-pro-life-and-pro-family-remarks-in-state-of-the-union/
