President Bush: "Partial-birth abortion is an abhorrent procedure that offends human dignity."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a phone call broadcast to anti-abortion protesters gathered on the National Mall, President Bush vowed Wednesday "to protect the lives of innocent children waiting to be born" and said his administration would promote "compassionate alternatives" to abortion.

Speaking from St. Louis, Missouri -- where he touted his package of proposed tax breaks -- Bush called on Congress to pass a bill banning a late-term abortion procedure that critics call a partial-birth abortion.

"Partial-birth abortion is an abhorrent procedure that offends human dignity," Bush said, according to a transcript of his remarks released by the White House. He cited a commitment to "building a culture of life in America."

"I also urge the Congress to ban all human cloning, " the president said. "We must not create life to destroy life. Human beings are not research material to be used in cruel and reckless experiments."

It would be great to see some action taken by the president, in regards to abortion. I hope that he isn't planning to push for anti-abortion legislation just long enough to get back into the White House, then abandon it once there.

I hope not too, but I won't bet my vote on it. All a calculated political move, in my estimation.

I think he's sincere, read Bush's personal testamony and comments about politics:
