In one of his final actions in the White House, President Bush on Thursday declared Jan. 18 to be “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”
“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,” reads the presidential proclamation.

I mean, really. Why would a man with no time left in office, and no plans to run again for public office, squander his last remaining influence with such a blatant bid to appease his base?
If, as I suspect it might, history’s verdict on Bush is that he really was a deep-seated conservative, and not just a bumbling idiot under their influence, than “National Sanctity of Human Life Day” will make a nice chapter-closer.
