A culture of life for America got a big boost from President Bush as he addressed, from Camp David by telephone, pro-life demonstrators in DC marking the 32nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

THE PRESIDENT: Nellie, thank you. Thanks a lot for inviting me to speak. I know it's chilly there in Washington, but weather hasn't stopped thousands of participants from marching for life for the past 32 years, and it did not this year, either.

Wade decision which decriminalized the intentional killing of a preborn human," said Nellie Gray, president of the March for Life Fund. "The Supreme Court cannot, and did not, legalize the killing of preborns," Gray said in a statement that is very similar to the one she issued at...
