Oh.my.god. Oh.my.god. It bears repeating, that was no typo.
I can't even find the words for this, this, this... beyond obnoxious, totally dangerous, thoroughly ignorant and completely inappropriate "holiday". Dubya decided that before he stepped down (and passed the torch to someone actually worthy of being called the President) he needed to declare "Sanctity of Human Life Day" as his 'effing Swan Song.
A snippet, if you will (found on feministing.com):
"All human life is a gift from our creator that is sacred, unique and worthy of protection. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, our country recognizes that each person, including every person waiting to be born, has a special place and purpose in this world,"
"The most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent. My administration has been committed to building a culture of life by vigorously promoting adoption and parental notification laws, opposing federal funding for abortions overseas, encouraging teen abstinence and funding crisis pregnancy programs."
I hate this man so much. I could get into all the reasons why this day curdles my blood (namely it's manipulative way of convincing people to get behind stripping women and families of their right to make decisions for their own lives, by naming this day something so lovely-sounding that it disguises its true purpose), but I would hope that my stance on abortion rights isn't unclear. I am so against these religious pro-lifers and the way they're trying to do away with a woman's right to her OWN FRICKIN' BODY that I want to scream. I can't get into this, it's too upsetting and I have too much housework to do! Stupid George Bush, why did you have to go and ruin my night?

Ugh. I don't even know where to begin with how wrong this is. Can't somebody just do the world a favour and make that guy disappear? Pretty please?
