The Arrogance of Nancy Pelosi ( Rush Limbaugh )
rushlimbaugh.com | August 25, 2008 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/26/2008 10:45:54 PM PDT by kellynla

RUSH: Let's go to Pelosi. This was on Meet the Press yesterday. I want you to hear this, and we'll comment after it. Tom Brokaw said, "Senator Obama saying the question of when life begins is above his 'pay grade,' when whether you're looking at it 'scientifically or theologically,' if he were to come and say, 'Help me out here Madam Speaker,' what would you tell him?"

PELOSI: As an ardent practicing Catholic, uh, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is over the centuries, the doctors of the church have not been able to make that definition, and, uh, Senator -- uh, I'm -- Senator -- Uh, St. Augustin' (sic) said at three months. We don't know. The point is is that it shouldn't have an impact on a woman's right to choose. Roe v. Wade talks about very clear definitions of when the child -- uh, eh, er, first trimester, certain considerations second trimester, not so third trimester. The -- the -- there's very clear distinctions.

RUSH: You know, folks, this is just embarrassing. As I've often wondered, is she genuinely this uneducated, uninformed, silly, stupid, whatever -- and I've concluded there isn't a word to describe the status of her brain. The Catholic Church doesn't know? The Catholic Church hasn't stipulated? The "doctors" at the Catholic Church? You mean the pope goes and consults the doctors to find out when life begins? Really? The doctors have more to say than God-d? I mean, Nancy, cite anybody. Don't cite the Catholic Church. You're putting them in an untenable position. You're fixing it so every priest, no matter how wacko left the priest might be, cannot support you. Good grief, ladies and gentlemen! Life begins at conception.

I think Pelosi makes a great speaker.

She does more to self destruct her party than we ever could.

You should thank her. I will. Thank you Pelosi!

LOL

I think, however, that that is being remedied as we speak.

It's hard to tell who's the dumbest now days , Pelosi or Biden . Ms.Pelosi , Joe ,,,, life begins at conception , but it doesn't guarantee the brain will develop beyond that point and you two are proof .

That’s what makes a liberal:

Arrogance + Ignorance = Liberal

Actually, what Peggy Noonan said is that anyone who ever bought a pack of condoms knows when life begins.

Very clever observation. They don't call it "birth control" for nothing.

It really doesn’t matter. The fact is that Canon Law from the earliest days of the Church prohibited abortion.

Here is an excerpt from the “Didache” written sometime after 50 A.D.:

Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Grave Sin Forbidden. And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor, you shall not swear, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life.

Yes, Eagles6, there isn't a doubt that you are correct. I well understand her/their tactics.

Actually, Pelosi probably doesn't really believe the explanation she gave and furthermore, understands there are Catholics who are truly ignorant of the facts you stated and will buy her explanation. It is important for the success of Democrats, to keep as many Catholics voting for them as possible and thus to that end, they will offer Catholics flimsy excuses that have no basis in reality.

"Actually, what Peggy Noonan said is that anyone who ever bought a pack of condoms knows when life begins."

That is one of the most clever, succinct statments I have ever heard from a pro-lifer, and immediately cuts to the very heart of the issue.

Got that right. She OD’d on Botox a long time ago!

I agree. I am disappointed that the church does not excommunicate all politicians who facilitate killing the unborn.
