Anyone who thinks there is nothing to follow up on is drinking the partsan kool-aid. I haven’t followed the story very closely, but if he subsequently clarified his remarks, I would accept that so long as the text clearly didn’t allow infanticide. People make mistakes, and maybe he just misdescribed what the bill does.
