Vermont senators banned a pastor from giving devotions to the legislative body after he spoke in January about the precious value of every human life. The Rev. Rosaire Bisson, assistant pastor at Christ Community Alliance Church in Barre, recently was suspended from the Vermont Senate for a year, according to True North Reports.
The state House and Senate frequently invite religious leaders to give short, non-political devotions at the beginning of most session days. Bisson spoke on Jan. 30, around the time when state lawmakers began debating a radical pro-abortion bill to keep abortions legal for basically any reason up to birth, the report states.
Though Bisson did not mention abortion, pregnancy or unborn babies at all in his devotion, some senators apparently thought his message about "everyone's right to life" was too controversial and banned him.
Bisson began his devotion by quoting the Declaration of Independence, which emphasizes that human beings have an unalienable right to life, according to the local news, which reprinted the pastor's remarks.
