Bush Asks U.N. to Resolve Iraq Conflict
The Bush administration is asking the United Nations for assistance in getting out of a dangerous political stalemate in the still embattled country.

Bush Lip Service
WASHINGTON -- President Bush praised anti-abortion marchers' "noble cause" as Democrats in Congress introduced a bill to block government interference in reproductive rights on Thursday, the 31st anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. "I know that good folks have gathered there on the Mall from every corner of America to take part in the 31st March For Life," Bush told the anti-abortion crowd by telephone from Roswell, New Mexico. "And I want you to pass on my best to each one of them in person, please, and tell them how much I appreciate their devotion to such a noble cause." In remarks repeatedly interrupted by applause, Bush noted that he signed a ban on so-called "partial birth" abortions last year, and was "vigorously defending" it against court challenges.

"Nobody here wants to be accused of shutting the government down," said Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota.
