Human Life Day is ‘blatant hypocrisy’
Our glorious leader, President George W. Bush, has, in all his wisdom, declared Jan. 19th to be National Sanctity of Human Life Day — a move to be praised by all, right? Wrong. It is no coincidence that next week happens to be the 30th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, which made a woman’s right to choose legal in the United States.
No matter where you stand on the issue of abortion, it is unjust to support a day to respect the sanctity of human life while we are at the same time waging war around the world, killing untold innocents. This blatant hypocrisy is just another example of Bush’s disrespect for human life and the political opportunism he regularly displays with issues that truly have deep meaning for all people.
If we want to be honest about it, why doesn’t Bush call it National Sanctity of American Conservative Life Day?
