Senate Democrats Object to Resolution Welcoming Pope

Led by Senator Barbara Boxer Democrats objected to the “values” Pope Benedict placed on “each and every human life.”  It smacked of anti-abortion doctrine, they said. In this objection, are these anti-life forces admitting that the “fetus” is a human life? They certainly are, if their logic means anything.  Otherwise, why would they object to placing value “on each and every human life.” (my emphasis)  Read one article here. Senator Browneback, the promoter of the undiluted resolution, ended up excising the pro-life reference in order to get something passed by our Congress by way of a welcome, something which said nothing.
