Nancy Pelosi stated in a highly publicized interview with Newsweek in October last year. "To me it isn't even a question. God has given us a free will. We're all responsible for our actions. If you don't want an abortion, you don't believe in it, [then] don't have one. But don't tell somebody else what they can do in terms of honoring their responsibilities."

Stated purely for political reasons. She's not thinking of her faith she is thinking of VOTES! Apparently her Catholic faith is not something she thinks about very deeply. Go figure!

Pelosi wouldn't know what "free will" is if it jumped up and bit her on the nose. God did not give us free will so that we might murder one of his little babies in the womb. He did not give us the license to kill an innocent human being waiting to be born.

She is correct in saying that we are all responsible for our actions, but she hasn't the faintest idea what moral responsibility is all about. Her "morality" is all about the unrestrained will of the individual to do whatever he pleases. Hitler and his fellow Nazis thought they were "honoring their responsibilities" by exterminating the Jewish people and pursuing German domination of Europe. According to Pelosi's logic, who would have the right to tell him he was wrong?
