Following House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) refusal to answer whether an unborn baby with a human heart is a human being, Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell wrote to Pelosi, noting that good reporters “ask tough questions,” that her answer was “disrespectful”; and that she should apologize to the reporter, CNSNews.com’s Sam Dorman.
“You owe the reporter, Mr. Dorman, an unqualified apology," wrote Bozell. "You should also answer his question."
Dorman had asked Minority Leader Pelosi the question at her Capitol Hill press conference last Thursday, Oct. 1. The exchange occurred as follows:
CNSNews.com: “In reference to funding for Planned Parenthood: Is an unborn baby with a human heart and a human liver a human being?”

Pelosi: “Why don't you take your ideological questions--I don't, I don't have—”
CNSNews.com: “If it's not a human being, what species is it?”
Pelosi: “No, listen, I want to say something to you. I don't know who you are and you're welcome to be here, freedom of this press. I am a devout practicing Catholic, a mother of five children. When my baby was born, my fifth child, my oldest child was six years old. I think I know more about this subject than you, with all due respect.”
CNSNews.com: “So it's not a human being, then?”
Pelosi said: “And I do not intend to respond to your questions, which have no basis in what public policy is that we do here.”
(Disclosure: The Media Research Center is the parent organization of CNSNews.com.)
In his Oct. 2 letter to Pelosi, MRC President Bozell wrote, “This was a perfectly relevant and appropriate question to ask on the heels of a congressional hearing investigating Planned Parenthood’s baby parts-for-profit scandal. The question was appropriate given your support of abortion on demand and your outspoken support for Planned Parenthood.”
“There is nothing disrespectful about a reporter asking you (or any other public official involved with such legislation) if you believe unborn children with human hearts and human livers are human beings,” wrote Bozell. “CNSNews.com reporters are asking the exact questions of other elected members of Congress.”
“It is a reporter’s job to ask tough questions,” he said. “Your answer was disrespectful, unprofessional, and condescending.”
In conclusion, Bozell wrote, “You owe the reporter, Mr. Dorman, an unqualified apology. You should also answer his question. I look forward to your response.”
CNSNews.com asked Pelosi’s office by telephone and email if she plans to respond to Bozell’s letter. Her office did not respond before this story was posted.
She is a ghoul.
Shame on the Catholic Church. If they cared about Jesus’s teachings, they would have excommunicated every politician who supports abortion and homosexual “marriage.” But when these unrepentant, proud sinners die, they will be buried with the blessing of the church they publicly rebelled against all their adult lives. This is the meaning of “casting pearls before swine.”
Oh congrats on all that catholicism there Nan.
She thinks this question was out of line? What soulless monsters liberalism makes of people.
There’s no name vile enough to call her so I’m just going to shut up.
She is a devout Catholic if she doesn’t have to think too much about anything. What a sorry mess she is. What a willfully deluded human being she is.
By virtue of her evident sociopathy, Pelosi is in fact not a human being and is not granted the protections given to human beings. She should be put down and all her progeny screened for sociopathy and malignant narcissism for similar treatment.
“Shame on the Catholic Church.”
As a Catholic, by adult choice, I agree with you.
She’ll likely has a list of renegade priests around the country who can be counted on to give her communion regardless of where she goes.
She and Biden even received it at the current Pope’s inaugural mass in Vatican City, unmistakenly to mock God. It would be disingenuous to suggest that whoever administered the sacrament to these unrepentant accomplices to murder there didn’t know who they were.
Sadly, the wolves in shepherds’ clothing abound.
Tattered worn out old whore from Baltimore. Take a look at this hag... a hag who thinks she’s superior to all.
If you are a “practicing” Catholic then you adhere to Catholic canon law and doctrine— which is that a baby unborn IS a human being. You, MSSSSSS. Nancy D’Alessandro, daughter of the dem machine mobster mayor of Baltimore who slept her way all over the city and in college-— it wasn’t Catholicism you were practicing.
And you don’t get to neatly dismiss someone, like some kind of Medici, by saying his question has nothing to do with “public policy”. It has EVERYTHING to do with it— since it is not the human being’s choice in the womb to be destroyed. Nor is it the “choice” of the mother to murder her child and be, “OK”. It’s not. Simply and irretrievably NOT.
BTW- ole nancy ole girl has been denied communion by the church. She should be excommunicated— only her little toot bishop in San Fran is protecting her.
when Pelosi started talking about her children a great followup question would have been —
“when YOUR baby was in your womb with a beating heart - was it a human being?”
Time to get personal with these people
