WASHINGTON, January 8, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – U.S. President George W. Bush despite his shortcomings on life and family issues showed himself in 2006 as a national leader who said with conviction that he was pro-life, pro-marriage and Christian. Nonetheless 2006 also provided a few vivid examples where President Bush seriously let down his pro-life support base.
