Last night the Senate rejected a pro-life amendment proposed by Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO), which would have covered unborn children under the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. Instead, the Senate passed the Boxer amendment which categorizes pregnant mothers as “children” in order to provide these women with health coverage without committing the liberal sacrilege of insinuating that the unborn are in fact children.
