U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke about being a “devout” Catholic in an on-stage discussion on Tuesday, while defending her staunch support of legalized abortion and arguing that the Supreme Court should not overturn Roe v. Wade — positions that place her sharply at odds with Church teaching.
“This [topic] really gets me burned up in case you didn't notice, because again I'm very Catholic, devout, practicing, all of that. They would like to throw me out. But I'm not going because I don't want to make their day,” the California Democrat said.
Pelosi made her comments at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas, while being interviewed by Mark Updegrove, CEO and president of the LBJ Foundation. The topic was “the state of democracy at home and abroad, as well as [the] House Democrats’ legislative agenda,” according to Pelosi’s YouTube channel.
The LBJ Presidential Library maintains records and archives of President Johnson’s political career, while promoting his legacy. The library is supported by the foundation.
When asked about the future of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion nationwide, Pelosi praised the House’s success in passing a bill for the codification of Roe. That “codification,” which ultimately failed in the Senate, came in the form of the Women’s Health Protection Act, which recognized a “statutory right” to abortion, blocking state abortion regulations and removing restrictions on pre-viability abortions.
“Of course, we haven't passed it in the Senate. But we never, as I say, we never give up in that regard because we do think that the codification of Roe v. Wade would be a really important protection against the court,” Pelosi said.

This lying, fetid old crone should have gotten a full Chris Rock in the chops two decades ago. The gall.
Biden: "You know, the thing."
But then she grew up and leaped into being the daughter odf satan, child sacrifice and the whole ball of evil.
Nothing says pro-life like the Mafia Don of Baltimore & daughter.
Nonsense. The Boston political D’Alesandro Mafia family princess, Nancy, is ‘devout?’
She’s pulling a John Kerry (who served in Vietnam).
I miss Rush😢. Yet I know he’s in heaven….talking to God on behalf of our country.
Baltimore Mafia family.
Yep, you’re right. I meant to type Baltimore but - brain fart, and I put Boston..... Thanks.
Nan’s father, Congressman ‘Big Tom’ D’Alessandro had enough clout to stand up to FDR over his ignoring Jews being murdered in Europe during WW2. Presumably a favor to his business assiciates.
What a liar.
Like me and you she will have to face God. There is no lying, manipulation or political game playing with Him. He knows our hearts.
The headline here is she thinks she grew up.
She’s a stupid evil selfish bitch.
Plenty of so-called Catholics just like her out there, attending Mass every weekend and sitting in the pews along with the rest of those of us who are solidly pro-life.
Have a few neighborhood suburban moms I know that believe exactly the same. In fact, they prefer to go to the more “liberal” priests who won’t preach pro-life principles, because there are priests out there who do shy away from it.
They go, and I have no idea why. They don’t believe a word of anything that is being put forth in the Church. It does seem to serve some other purpose for them to go, it seems. Appearances maybe?
He was also mayor and ran for governor but had to drop out after it was determined he received undeclared campaign money from a parking garage owner who had been convicted of several crimes like fraud, etc.
In politics, there are must-portray-yourself-as boxes you must check.
That’s all this is.
Our government is organized crime where the citizens unwittingly elect criminals to “represent” them.
The criminals that get elected, checked all the boxes.
Ya I’m sure there are a lot of hookers and porn stars who can say the same thing...
I wonder what the Mafia would say to that.
