"I believe that life is valuable, even when it is unwanted, even when it is physically imperfect. I believe our society has a responsibility to defend the vulnerable and the weak. And I believe our nation should set a goal: that unborn children should be welcomed in life and protected in law. This is the ideal: a generous society that values every life.
I know there are many steps on this road. A democracy is ruled by consensus, not by edict. Laws are changed as minds are persuaded."

To bad that Bush didn't sum up this way:
'I know there are many steps on this road. A democracy [republic] is ruled by consensus [under constitutional law], not by edict. Laws are changed as minds are persuaded.'
Was my 'bumpkin' place-marker pulled because of an abuse complaint from you Graveyard? -- Get a life. I meant no disrespect to Bush.
Nope. I'm a big boy, I don't do the abuse thing. I just called you a jerkoff.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled half-assed assumptions.
For the record, I didn't report the comment either and in fact saw it in my comments but when reading the thread saw it had been pulled.
