A resolution honoring the Pope on his visit to America is being held by Senate Democrats. The resolution had been expected to pass by unanimous consent, but someone in the Democrat Party has a problem with the following language:Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken approvingly of the vibrance of religious faith in the United States, a faith nourished by a constitutional commitment to religious liberty that neither attempts to strip our public spaces of religious expression nor denies the ultimate source of our rights and libertiesYes of course...how dare somebody speak out for the value of every life. What a quaint notion...
Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the weak and vulnerable, witnessing to the value of each and every human life.
Amanda Carpenter has the scoop.
UPDATE: This has now passed the Senate. Apparently Barbara Boxer -- surprise surprise -- was the one holding it up. Much to my disappointment, Senator Brownback was negotiating with Boxer and agreed to water down the life language.
