What's Wrong With This
Picture?
My friend James pointed out to this photo regarding Bush signing the Partial Birth
Abortion ban. And as he pointed out, there isn't one woman up there...just a
bunch of white, smug, self serving, ultra conservative male alpha dogs. I assume
all the women were in the kitchen where they
belong.
In this case, their bite is worse than their bark.
And guess who was in the audience...
No surprises here.
Later Falwell went on to write about his experience at the signing of the bill on his website (which most news agencies failed to pick up on):
However, I can report to you that President Bush is just as adamant about fighting to defend the rights [code for religious right] of unborn children who cannot defend themselves against this horrifying procedure.
In a private meeting with President Bush following the signing ceremony in the Ronald Reagan Building on Wednesday, seven pro-life leaders and I had the privilege [we paid for through donations] of meeting with President Bush in an Oval Office gathering.
In this meeting, President Bush gallantly [arrogantly] declared that his administration would put all of its resources behind the partial-birth abortion ban in the courtroom.
Attending the meeting were Janet Parshall, author and host of the nationally syndicated radio broadcast “Janet Parshall’s America,” Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) President Dr. Jack Graham, former SBC President Dr. Adrian Rogers, American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, National Religious Broadcasters President Frank Wright, National Association of Evangelicals President Ted Haggard, and President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Dr. Richard Land.
After having a wonderful time of fellowship with President Bush, the president asked if we could all join hands and pray that God will bless our efforts to preserve life in our land [allow us to do whatever we want].
What an astounding moment this was for me personally. Standing there in the Oval Office I felt suddenly humbled to be in the presence of a man — our president — who takes his faith very seriously and who seeks the prayers of his friends as he leads our nation.
Following the prayer, I told [threatened] President Bush the people in the room represent about 200,000 pastors and 80 million believers [voters] nationwide who consider him not only to be our president but also a man of [our] God.
He humbly turned to me and replied, “I’ll try to live up to it. [I'll count on your vote, master]”

However you feel about abortion...I think this is highly suspicious and self-serving.
