That is evident in a whole host of areas. not the least of which are the abuses addressed by these amendments. So when my good friend from Connecticut said that he is opposed to these amendments. I was tempted to ask specifically what amendment is itdenying visas to those who perform forced abortions. or is it denying visas to government individuals involved in religious persecution? What Is it precisely that is objectionable about these? I would think. rather than undermining the Presidents hand as he goes to China. this in fact strengthens his hand. strengthens his ability to deal in a more forthright way with those issues of concern to all Americans.
