Today President Bush, in a ceremony in the East Room at the White House, the first signing ceremony of the year, signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004, accompanied by Sharon Rocha and Ron Grantski, parents of murdered expectant mother, Laci Peterson, Carol Lyons, whose pregnant daughter was also murdered, Senators Orin Hatch of Utah and Mike DeWine of Ohio (!), and Representatives F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., and Melissa Hunt. The act makes killing an unborn child (called a ‘fetus’ by pro-abortion advocates) a federal crime. The bill has been called, “Laci and Conner‘s Law.”

Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island on the April 1st Daily Dose………….no fooling !!

QUOTE of the DAY: As these and the other families understand, any time an expectant mother is a victim of violence, two lives are in the balance, each deserving protection, and each deserving justice. If the crime is murder and the unborn child's life ends, justice demands a full accounting under the law.

…….snip……..

The moral concern of humanity extends to those unborn children who are harmed or killed in crimes against their mothers. And now, the protection of federal law extends to those children, as well. With this action, we widen the circle of compassion and inclusion in our society, and we reaffirm that the United States of America is building a culture of life. (Applause.)

For this and the partial-birth abortion legislation alone the President can be proud of what he has achieved in this term.

Glory to God...this is a wonderful day.

Hey,
How are you doing now that Eric is home? I know the whole family is thrilled. I remember when my 2 brothers would get home.
