Born Alive Infants Protection Act - President Signs / Video. President Signs Born-Alive Infants Protection Act Remarks by the President in Signing of H.R. 2175, Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Pittsburgh Hilton. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 12:58 P.M. EDT. THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all very much for this bill signing ceremony. I'm pleased to sign it in the great city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The history of our country is the story of a promise, a promise of life and liberty made at our founding and fulfilled over the centuries in our laws. It is a story of expanding inclusion and protection for the ignored and the weak and the powerless. And now we extend the promise and protection to the most vulnerable members of our society. Today I sign the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. This important legislation ensures that every infant born alive -- including an infant who survives an abortion procedure -- is considered a person under federal law. (Applause.) This reform was passed with the overwhelming support of both political parties, and it is about to become the law of the land. I appreciate so very much Senator Rick Santorum and Congressman Steve Chabot from Ohio for sponsoring this important piece of legislation. I also appreciate Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Congresswoman Melissa Hart for coming, as well. I want to thank the Bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Bishop Wuerl, for being here. It's good to see you again, Bishop. I appreciate Hadley Arkes, the Professor of Jurisprudence and American Institutions at Amherst University. I want to thank Jill Stanek, registered nurse, Labor and Delivery Unit, Christ Hospital and Medical Center, for being here, as well. I appreciate Gianna Jessen, who is an abortion survivor and a pro-life advocate. I want to thank Dr. Watson Bowes, who is a Professor Emeritus of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University of North Carolina. I want to thank you all for coming. It's important that you're here, to send a signal that you're dedicated to the protection of human life. The issue of abortion divides Americans, no question about it. Yet today we stand on common ground. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act establishes a principle in America law and American conscience: there is no right to destroy a child who has been born alive. (Applause.) A child who is born has intrinsic worth and must have the full protection of our laws. Today, through sonograms and other technology, we can clearly -- see clearly that unborn children are members of the human family, as well. (Applause.) They reflect our image, and they are created in God's own image. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act is a step toward the day when every child is welcomed in life and protected in law. (Applause.) It is a step toward the day when the promises of the Declaration of Independence will apply to everyone, not just those with the voice and power to defend their rights. This law is a step toward the day when America fully becomes, in the words of Pope John Paul II, "a hospitable, a welcoming culture." Our society has enough compassion, wealth and love to care for mothers and their children, and to see the promise and potential of every life. In protecting the vulnerable and the weak, the imperfect and the unwanted, you are affirming a culture of life. I'm grateful for your perseverance on behalf of this noble cause. I want to thank you for your hard work. I appreciate your care for every member of the human family. Thank you for coming today. It's now my honor and pleasure to sign into law the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. END 1:04 P.M. EDT. Public domain video. For Immediate Release; Office of the Press Secretary; August 5, 2002.

Do watch the Silent Scream. Theirs no reason why they cant give the baby up for adoption to the many families who can not conceive.

so abortion is bad but starting 2 wars isnt an immoral thing, its not like childern die there or families lose anything, you folk got wierd morals i though killing was wrong no matter how you justified it but i guess if theres a profit to be made thats ok

how can you compare murdering unborn babies to those who Volunteer to go to war . Another thing it's ok that a bunch terrorists can come to our country and fly planes into biuldings killing 3500 inocents people. They started war on us we are not thye ones who started two wars. We were attacked first. Bush did the right thing by sending troops to afganistan, and Iraq, and also the stand he took on abortion.

so the people caught between us and them are guilty of what? war affects a whole nation not just those volunteer to go ,the people who lost their homes didn't volunteer the children growing up without parents didn't have a choice and yes i can compare the two cause its hypocritical to condemn one form of killing but yet support another, i bet your a christain man who disregards one of the main teachings of jesus such as love thy enemy turn the other check but yet that would make you look foolish

Abortion wrong, and fling planes into biulding in the name of a false god was also wrong. It's was also wrong the we were forced into two wars but we had to strike back to show that you just don't come on American soil hijack planes, and fly them into buildings. They killed a lot of people that day come on now let's stop this stupidity. Another thing our current president is not doing better he sent more troops out to war.

like i said - if you're going to abort an unborn baby then do it before it reaches a mature gestational stage. if a child gets raped and needs to have an abortion then they wouldnt let that child carry the unborn baby to term - thus rendering your comment void of any sustainable argument. if you had taken better care to read my comment before challenging it you'd realise i have stated that i dont oppose abortions; i do strongly oppose LIVE BIRTH abortions.

think before you argue with me.
