President Shines Liberty’s Light on Moral Issues That Won His Election, CWA Says     2/3/2005

Washington, D.C.--Concerned Women for America (CWA) is pleased that President Bush’s State of the Union Address included the social and moral issues that carried the day for him last November.

“We applaud the President’s goal of advancing liberty around the world and at home,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s chief counsel. “Liberty at home is dependent ‘on the proper role of courts in our democracy,’ as the president said. And, ‘It’s time the obstructionists in the Senate reject filibusters because ‘every judicial nominee deserves an up-or-down vote.’”

“President Bush made it clear that human life should be treated with dignity, from the unborn child in a late-term pregnancy to the human embryo, which is under the greatest attack. He also affirmed that ethics and morality must play a vital role in scientific advancement,” said Wendy Wright, CWA’s senior policy director.

“From the man with the vision and courage to win liberty for the oppressed in Iraq, we hope that his vision to extend human rights to the youngest and smallest among us will come to life in the form of passing strong legislation.”

“The President rightly called attention to marriage’s central importance to society and to its divine origin,” said Robert Knight, director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute. "We hope that he will come to realize that it is not only activist judges who pose a threat to marriage, but also rogue legislators and bureaucrats who are creating counterfeit marriage by other names.”

“The president was right on the mark when he said Americans want ‘to bring up responsible, moral children. Government is not the source of these values, but government should never undermine them,’” LaRue noted. “Government must also fulfill its responsibility to enforce laws that aid parents in protecting their children from the immoral influences of indecency and obscenity.”

“The Democrats’ rebuttal by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) didn’t offer a plan for governing— it’s a plan to wander in darkness yelling ‘No.’ The senator from Searchlight doesn’t seem to realize that the bulb is burned out,” LaRue concluded.
