Bush's Halifax Speech Includes Reference to "the dignity of every human life"
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, December 2, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - None of the media covering President Bush's spirited address to the Canadian people in Halifax yesterday seem to have picked up on the president's inclusion of what is normally considered a pro-life phrase in his speech.
About one-third of the way into his speech the president referred to Canada-U.S. ties as going "deeper than trade". Bush stated "Our community of values reaches back centuries. Canada and the U.S. may have disagreed on the wisdom of separating from the Crown, but we've always agreed on the great principles of liberty derived from our common heritage". Then, in what might be viewed as going over the heads of Canada's mostly liberal politicians, and directly to the more social conservative general population, he stated, "We believe in the dignity of every human life, and we believe in the right of every person to live in freedom".
Pro-life organizations and leaders have constantly referred to the same "dignity of every human life" as a reason why all abortion, euthanasia, destructive research on human embryos and similar attacks on human life are immoral and must be opposed.
