During Pope Francis’ speech today before Congress, he spoke out in favor of protecting “life at every stage of its development”:

Mother Jones’ David Corn, no doubt joining others on the Left, quickly tried to put those words on the back-burner (or remove them from the stove entirely) to make more room for other issues the pope addressed in his speech:
This Pope far more fixated on social justice & envt'al protection than abortion/gay rights/dogma. Sorry, conservatives. #PopeOnTheHill

Sure, the Pope had one (!) line about abortion, but he said much more about climate change, poverty, immigration, Iran/Cuba, social justice.

So the pope didn’t mean some of the things he said as much as some of the other things he said?

Jesus only had one line about a lot of things. Does that make them unimportant? https://t.co/vBOStXP6eJ

Yeah, gosh. I'm sure the Pope is thinking Climate Bunk is more severe than selling baby parts to the highest bidder. https://t.co/fUdp8ILenv

@DavidCornDC Maybe you missed the #ProLife themes & entire section of speech about importance of the family & marriage being under attack.

We’ll probably be seeing plenty of that from the pro-abortion Left today.
