Thanks to the National Review, of all places, for discovering that Bush also misappropriated 9/11 for political purposes in the abortion debate. This is from his National Sanctity of Human Life Day proclamation, January 18, 2002:
"Unborn children should be welcomed in life and protected in law. On September 11, we saw clearly that evil exists in this world, and that it does not value life. The terrible events of that fateful day have given us, as a Nation, a greater understanding about the value and wonder of life. Every innocent life taken that day was the most important person on earth to somebody; and every death extinguished a world. Now we are engaged in a fight against evil and tyranny to preserve and protect life. In so doing, we are standing again for those core principles upon which our Nation was founded."
