"The Objectionable Language Has Been Withdrawn..."

... from a Senate resolution welcoming the Pope to the United States!

The objectionable language:

Whereas Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out for the weak and vulnerable, witnessing to the value of each and every human life...

It seems that Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), found this language to be "objectionable", on the grounds that it is a reference to the Church's opposition to abortion.

The resolution's sponsors agreed to drop the offending paragraph, and the resolution was adopted. So it's good that, having been here two days already, the Pope is now officially welcome.

But it seems to me that there's a problem from the pro-abortion side: If it's "objectionable" to witness "to the value of each and every human life," then which human lives does Sen. Boxer wish to deny the value of?

If she denies the value of unborn human lives, desiring to maintain the right to kill them for any reason or no reason, then isn't Sen. Boxer admitting that the unborn, are, in fact, human lives?

Isn't this essentially an admission that what happens in abortion is, in fact, an outright denial of the value of human life?
