“republican senator bill frist of tennessee, the majority leader, acknowledged that such concerted congressional action on behalf of a single person was highly unusual.
“these are extraordinary circumstances that center on the most fundamental of human values and virtues: the sanctity of human life,” said senator frist.”
ok, this is why it’s hard to take the far-right seriously.
for example:
they believe in the sanctity of human life, but yet they
begin wars that result in hundreds of thousands of deaths.
they believe in the sanctity of human life, but yet
they pass legislation that allows polluters to put toxins
into the air and water that will result in miscarriages
and still-born deliveries.
they believe in the sanctity of human life, but yet
they allow americans to buy assault weapons.
they believe in the sanctity of human life, but yet
they are pro-death penalty.
it just makes no sense to me.
