Does Bush Twist Religious Language for His Own Political Gain? All Signs Point to Yes. Is W. a Champion of Life? Don't Count on It. Snip...
On Monday President Bush called members of an Anti-Abortion demonstration in Washington, DC and congratulated them on marching for a worthy cause and told the marchers "We're building a culture of life." I nearly drove off of the road when I heard this on my car radio.
Why? Not because I am pro-choice, I am not. I will freely admit to being pro-life. My reason for being disgusted is that Bush's presidency and time as governor of Texas seem to have engendered anything but a culture of life.
Capital Punishment: If one wishes to include his attempts to defend "harsh questioning" and detainment without a right to a trial, Bush's promotion of human dignity within the criminal justice system seems to have had negative effects.
Euthanasia: I suppose the Schiavo Case gives Bush the rub from Jeb's actions, but I am not sure what if anything has happened on this issue at a federal level over the past six years.
