Unknown U.S. Senator blocks resolution to investigate illegal abortion practices

Recently, U.S. Senator Mike Lee introduced a resolution calling for Congress to investigate the circumstances that led to the horrors at Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic.  Yesterday, another unknown U.S. senator filed an objection to this resolution. 

“It is difficult to imagine why anyone would object to a non-binding resolution calling on Congress to investigate these alleged disturbing, horrific, and illegal abortion practices committed by Kermit Gosnell and others,” said Senator Lee, who filed the resolution on Monday evening.  “With numerous reports of similar instances surfacing around the country, the need for greater regulatory oversight of these so-called clinics is so plainly obvious it strains the limits of disbelief to think all members of the Senate would not agree. The resolution is simply an affirmation that we as a country – a moral and compassionate society – have an interest in acting to save the lives of innocent women and children, and to prevent these kinds of heinous acts from happening to anyone again.”
