Thomas Jefferson made this statement about the role of civil government. Pay close attention to his words. He stated, "The care of human life and not its destruction is the one and only object of good government." Hubert Humphrey, in recent years, echoed the same mentality concerning the role of civil government. On November 1st, 1977 he stated, "The moral test of a government is how that government treats those who are at the dawn of life -- the children; the twilight of life -- the elderly; the shadows of life -- the sick, the needy, the handicapped." Currently, the sitting President, George W. Bush declared, "We will defend the rights of the aged. We will defend the rights of the infirm. We will defend the rights of the unborn."
