House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi attacked Republicans’ efforts to defund the abortion business Planned Parenthood on Tuesday by bringing up God and conscience.
Pelosi, a Democrat who claims to be Catholic, supports Planned Parenthood and abortion on demand, in opposition to the Catholic faith. When it is convenient, however, Pelosi brings up her faith in public when she wants to criticize her opponents or support her own political position.
On Tuesday, she mentioned honoring God and conscience in her reaction to Republicans’ plans to repeal and replace Obamacare and defund the abortion chain Planned Parenthood, the Free Beacon reports.
“I know my colleagues are people of faith,” Pelosi said. “They tell us that all the time. So, this is God’s creation, we have a real responsibility to it…to minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us…”
Pelosi also told Republican lawmakers to “examine their consciences and look into their hearts” before they vote so they can “make a decision in favor of what is right.”
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.
But part of what Pelosi considers “right” is giving nearly half a billion tax dollars every year to a group that has destroyed millions of unborn babies’ lives in abortions.
TownHall’s Guy Benson wrote in response:
… this condemnation on behalf of “God’s creation” comes from a woman who, as a professed Catholic, has amassed a 100 percent pro-abortion rating from both NARAL and Planned Parenthood. She has opposed virtually every conceivable limitation on abortion over her political career, including measures to ban the barbaric procedure known as partial-birth abortion. Read up on the grisly details of what that entails, then circle back to this lecture from Nance about faith, conscience examination, moral responsibility, and honoring God. What a joke …
Just last week, a reporter confronted Pelosi about the contradiction between her stance on abortion and her faith, and the U.S. House leader dodged the question. When the CNS News reporter asked Pelosi if aborting an unborn baby with a beating heart dishonors God, Pelosi appeared flustered and then gave a non-answer.
The U.S. Senate delayed a vote Tuesday on the defunding bill because of a few holdout Republicans who made it so there are not enough votes to pass it. The U.S. House passed a defunding bill in May.
Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report shows increases in abortions and taxpayer funding, and decreases in contraception, breast exams and overall patient numbers.
Planned Parenthood continued to maintain its status as the largest abortion provider in the United States. The abortion group performed 328,348 abortions on unborn babies, 4,349 more than the previous year, according to the report. Meanwhile, the abortion chain received more taxpayer funding. The report shows Planned Parenthood receiving $554.6 million, up from $553.7 million the previous year.
A recent congressional investigation into the abortion business involving its handling of aborted baby parts concluded with lawmakers recommended that Congress defund it. Planned Parenthood also has been caught in numerous scandals involving Medicaid fraud and failures to report suspected sex trafficking and sexual abuse of minors.
Earlier this year, Planned Parenthood leaders refused an offer to receive an increase in taxpayer funding if they stopped doing abortions. CEO Cecile Richards called the offer “obscene and insulting,” making it very clear that abortions – not women’s health care – are what really are important to them.
Bella Pelosi would ever dare utter the word “God”
= = =
In her current mental state, she meant “Dog”.
Nancy Pelosi dishonors Gad every time she opens her mouth. She wants these children sacrificed to Molech by their brutal and painful deaths through Abortion.
Who is this person named God she is talking about? I don’t know her. There is someone else that we use that name for with Whom I am a bit more familiar and he is not at all down with abortion..
She became waaaay to hyfallutin for Baltimore, Maryland! She settled in California. Apparently that’s where she got her divinity degree that claims killing unborn children is a holy sacrament. Abortion IS a “holy sacrament” in the liberal church of satan. That is one severely twisted mind that woman has.
She should be banned from Communion.Life News has become Anti Pope.
Batshit Crazy!
classic example that the far left have some kind of mental illness.
It’s hard to believe that a nominally Catholic woman in the twilight of her life is making this kind of statement.
defunding planned parenthood sounds like a holy thing to do.
You can’t make this sh@t up!
Princess or not — she is totally wrong.
I read my bible regularly, but i have yet to see anywhere in it that God approves of parents murdering their children.
It's because she believes "a woman's right to choose" is the most sacred thing of all.
She is truly deluded. Pray for her.
Lord’s Name in Vain ping
How f’in EVIL!!! Loony *itch!!
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.
Jeez this woman is cracked.
I am glad I am not going to the place Nanzi is going when she strokes out of this world.
For her crimes against the unborn, she should be drowned slowly
in a vat of blood, gore, and afterbirth.
Actually, that would be too good for her.
