Bush Deserves Prison, Not a “Pro-Life” Award

Posted on February 7, 2010
Share:

We received this from War Criminals Watch  

Honoring George Bush with a “Pro Life Award” is something like honoring an iceberg for sinking the Titanic–although the cost in human life totals hundreds of thousands, not hundreds. This is to say nothing of the millions of lives disrupted, families broken, and horrendous injuries, both physical and mental.
 
WAR IS NOT PRO LIFE!   BUSH DESERVES PRISON, NOT A PRO LIFE AWARD for
Illegal Wars causing the death of over a million people, including thousands of US deaths, sanctioning Torture, violating our Constitution, and smashing any hopes for world peace into the foreseeable future.

 
Bush received this award from the Catholic group Legatus at its annual Summit, Feb. 4-6, in Dana Point, Calif. In one of his of his last acts as president, Bush declared Jan. 18, 2009, as “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.” Incongruously for one who declared not one but two illegal and immoral wars, he stated that “the most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent.”
 
This declaration was the culmination of eight years of anti-abortion policies that included opposition to embryonic stem-cell research, the appointment of two “pro-life” Supreme Court Justices, an executive order barring federal funds to be used for abortion-related projects abroad, and a rule protecting federally funded health employees from taking part in abortion or practices that conflict with their faith. 
 
For these draconian anti-birth control efforts Bush received the award. The context of aggressive and illegal wars in which these supposedly “pro-life” measures occurred is apparently not a concern of Legatus. Legatus is keeping the exact date and time when Bush will be on site a tight secret. On Thursday, February 4 a number of groups held a preemptive and peaceful protest! Mike Haas, 2010 Nobel Peace Nominee and author of George W. Bush, War Criminal?, also spoke at the rally.
 
The protest was endorsed by ANSWER LA, OC Peace Coalition, War Criminals Watch, World Can’t Wait – LA , AfterDowningStreet.org, PDA-OC and other peace and justice groups.

    Bush’s pro-life award is almost as laughable as the “Nobel Peace Price” for Obama! Dam I wish that boat of idiots would sink for good! How do you vote for a different president, and yet the same old president (daddy Bush) is apparently still running the US, and still trying to run the rest of the world! I’ll never get why that’s allowed to be, they didn’t run the country right in their term, so they sure as hell should have “NO” say in it now, especially when they still haven’t learned anything from their past mistakes. Once your voted out, you should “remain out”, and you should not be allowed to “sneakily” remain behind the scenes pulling the strings of the new puppets, while continuing to plague the world like rats in a sewer!!!!

    It is amazing how some people separate pro-life from war and the death penalty. Texas has the highest number of executions and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have claimed untold numbers of civilians and soldiers. And, are we any safer. I agree no ‘pro-life’ award for any leader who foments war.
