President Urges Country to 'Build a Culture of Life'

1963-2005

Thursday, March 31, 2005 President Bush said Thursday that he joins the millions of Americans saddened by the death of Terri Schiavo and urged the country to honor her memory by working to "build a culture of life."

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak," Bush said. "In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in favor of life."

“The King will reply,
‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me.’" Matthew 25:40
