Bush voices support for anti-abortion rights opponents
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush marked the 34th anniversary of the Roe
v. Wade Supreme Court decision Monday, telling thousands of abortion
foes he shares their goal of seeing "the day when every child is
welcomed in life and protected into law."

Carol,
It says that Bush is an anti-abortion rights opponent support voicer.
The writer strung more nouns together than he could handle. Without the
anti- it would make some sense and would be merely atrocious.
