The President of the United States is free to use his religious beliefs in his reasoning. If his religious beliefs tell him that murder is unethical, then so be it.

You are referring to the banning of late term partial abortions? I would not call that a fiasco. I actually think it's among the (few?) things Bush has done right.

I'm glad you agree.

The belief that human life has intrinsic worth and should not be murdered; that sounds barbaric to you? If so, welcome back to the Middle Ages.

The bottom line is this: Bush believes late-term abortions involve the death of a human person. The religious aspect (God says murder is wrong) is practically irrelevant because I think even you agree that people should not be murdered, and so this is not where the main point of dispute lies. The main disputable point here is where human personhood begins.
