SOTU

Words are supposedly cheap, so I just don't get why a pro-life president wouldn't spill a few of them during a State of the Union. From Bob Novak:
Bush completely ignored the social issues dear to much of his conservative base. He did not mention abortion on the day following the annual "March for Life" on the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. He did not mention the embryonic research bill that he vetoed last year and is likely to veto again in the new Congress. He made no mention of same-sex marriage.
A lot of us are complaining about how the media ignored thousands of marchers in D.C. Monday, but what about politicians (with the exception of Sen. Brownback) doing the same? With GW Bush's 33% popularity rating, he doesn't have anything to lose, does he?
