President Bush Calls for Pro-Life Culture at Catholic Prayer Breakfast

"Our Declaration of Independence states that our freedom rests on self-evident truths about the dignity of the human person. Throughout our nation's history, Catholic Americans have embraced, sustained, and given their lives to defend these truths," the president told the crowd.

The remarks came on the heels of a U.S. Senate vote for a measure that would overturn his limits on forcing taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research.

"In our day there is a temptation to manipulate life in ways that do not respect the humanity of the person," he added. "When that happens, the most vulnerable among us can be valued for their utility to others instead of their own inherent worth."

"We must continue to work for a culture of life where the strong protect the weak and where we recognize in every human life the image of our Creator," Bush explained.
