Pray for Senate Majority Leader Schumer

For the second time this year, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, during session, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer has correctly referred to an unborn child as a “baby.”

In describing an Arizona law from the 1860s allowed to go into effect, he decried the result saying, “You have to carry the baby all the way to term.”
