National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2007

President Bush declared Sunday, January 21, 2007 National Sanctity of Human Life Day as a day to recognize America's commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being. The President's proclamation focused on protecting unborn children, but makes no mention of the abuses of Abu Gharib,
the state of emergency that victims of Katrina and Rita continue to face (400,000 continue to live in temporary housing),

a war on terrorism that continues to escalate with the US attacks on Somalia (US ground troops have been seen in the country),

or the US near-muted response towards violence in Darfur (Sudan breaks the cease-fire brokered by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson).
