"All human life is a gift from our Creator that is sacred, unique, and worthy of protection."

Could the contrast be more stark? On January 18, President Bush invites us to recognize "that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world." Later that week thousands (hopefully millions) will be finishing their novenas against the evil of the promised "first piece of legislation."

Thanks to President Bush for all the ways he's defended the unborn. Take a few moments to read his proclamation for the National Sanctity of Human Life Day and please remember to keep praying and working for a culture of life.

Note: The photo is of my family's home altar. When my children were small we somehow acquired a plastic model of an unborn baby at 12 weeks old and the natural place for one of my little ones to put it was in this tiny crib. It became a reminder to us to pray for the unborn. I was looking for a link to where you could purchase these models and found these amazing ones instead.
