President Bush told abortion opponents Monday that they are pursuing "a noble cause" and predicted that their views would prevail eventually.

 

"We're working to persuade more of our fellow Americans of the rightness of our cause," the president told abortion foes gathered at the foot of Capitol Hill on a chilly, rainy day. He spoke by telephone from Manhattan, Kan., where he gave a speech.

 

"This is a cause that appeals to the conscience of our citizens and is rooted in America's deepest principles," the president said. "And history tells us that with such a cause we will prevail."

 

...

 

"You believe, as I do, that every human life has value, that the strong have a duty to protect the weak, and that the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence apply to everyone, not just to those considered healthy or wanted or convenient," Bush told the abortion foes.

 

"These principles call us to defend the sick and the dying, persons with disabilities and birth defects, all who are weak and vulnerable, especially unborn children," the president said.

He's always been vocally pro-life, IIRC.

Pro-life til they're out of the womb. Then it is okay to support quasi-apartheid schooling, capital punishment, send them off to die in a war, etc. He sure believes in sanctity of life.

There's definitely some hypocrisy in his "culture of life" mantra, but I didn't want to get into it. I give it 3 posts before it turns into another pointless reps vs. dems argument. "Doesn't matter who wins, 'cause they're all losers."
