At a Thursday press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with exceptions for when the life or physical health of the mother was at stake.
Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer.
"As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "I don't think it should have anything to do with politics."
Pelosi falsely claimed the bill that passed out of committee on Wednesday would ban all abortions, when in fact it's simply a prohibition on abortion during the final four months of pregnancy (with exceptions for the life and physical health of the mother), the point at which science indicates babies can feel pain and some babies can survive long-term if born.
"They would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country," Pelosi said.
According to the Gallup polling company, strong majorities of Americans think abortions should be generally illegal in the second- and third-trimester of pregnancy, as they are in many European countries.
Nancy Pelosi. Catholic in good standing.
Murder is murder.
The late term abortion genocide leads to what Gosnell did...and it is happening much more often across the country than they are willing to admit.
I don’t think Pelosi would be allowed to receive Communion in my parish.
I once went to my church, St Timothy’s out here in Los Angeles and it right after the Catholic was in that uproar regarding the health care law and giving employees birth comtrol. I noticed outside the church there were two state trooper cars. Then while inside I sit in a pew and as I looked over and there she was about 25 feet away from me in the next pew. I thought the roof was going to come down. I couldn’t believe she actually went to communion.
Title should be “Pelosi can’t explain.”
Where is the contrary evidence?
I guess all the plastic in her face is seeping into her tiny brain.
I bet she was right happy about Roe v. Wade becoming the law of the land.
Only in your and Nancy's opinion.
Oh? I guess everyone missed the news of when she was denied Communion.
Pope Benedict had a private audience with Nancy Pelosi....no photographs were allowed and he supposedly lectured her. Catholic in good standing? LMAO In her own mind.
When was that? I don’t recall her being refused communion. I would have remembered that.
I was being facetious. She’s never been denied communion, that anyone knows.
Pelosi refuses to discuss difference...
palm slap to forehead...well, duh. of course you were.
Unfortunately she would receive communion in the parishes in my diocese, including mine and the cathedral near mine where Cuomo gets communion alongside his live in girlfriend from the Bishop himself.
Pelosi is more than Scandalous, she is evil and will have a big surprise coming when St. Peter sends her on her way. Nancy Pelosi is pure evil.
