Sanctity of Life

In the last 30 years, abortion on demand has placed over 45 million separate scars on America's soul. Each time after the death of their child, a mother was never quite the same. A nameless little baby died a tragic and lonely death and all the gifts the child might have brought to humanity were lost forever.

On November 5, 2003, I was deeply honored to stand by the President as he signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban into law. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act is the most significant pro-life legislation since 1973, and makes it illegal in the United States for a physician to perform this barbaric, nightmarish procedure.

Even though this bill will not protect the other 4,000 unborn children who die each day from abortion on demand, the unspeakable and far-reaching cost of diminished respect for innocent human life, born and unborn, now dawns in the hearts of more Americans than ever before. Thus, the winds of change have begun to blow, and there is brighter hope than ever for a day soon to come when the sunlight of life will break through the clouds and shine once again on the faces of America's children; even those in the womb— the most innocent and helpless of all.
