The leader of a national pro-life movement said Americans regard the filibusters as “witch hunt.”

Fr. Frank Pavone was reacting to comments made by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid at the Jefferson Memorial regarding the constitutional option. 

"Senate Democrats have shown that they intend to prevent anyone whose religious convictions command a respect for life from serving in the highest courts in the land," said the national director of Priests for Life.

"Most Americans have rejected the proposition that 'Catholics Need Not Apply,’” said Fr. Pavone. “The Senate must do the same.”
