Washington D.C., Jan 21, 2021 / 05:00 am MT (CNA).- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused pro-lifers of putting their opposition to abortion over the tenets of democracy in a recent appearance on former Sen. Hillary Clinton’s podcast.
“I think that Donald Trump is president because of the issue of a woman’s right to choose,” Pelosi said on the Jan. 18 episode of “You and Me Both with Hillary Clinton,” blaming pro-life voters for boosting Trump into office.
“When you take the greed of those who want their tax cuts, that’s probably a small number [of voters], but nonetheless a number,” said Pelosi. Conversely, “then you take the abortion issue--and many of these people are very good people; that’s just their point of view. But they were willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue.”
Pelosi said that that support for Trump by pro-life religious voters is an issue that “gives me great grief as a Catholic.”
When Clinton ran against Trump in 2016, the Democratic Party platform was noted for its extreme pro-abortion stance. That platform included, for the first time, a call to repeal the Hyde Amendment which prevents the use of tax money to pay for elective abortions. The policy has received bipartisan support throughout its nearly 50 years of existence.
The party platform further said that “every woman should have access” to “safe and legal abortion.”
On the Jan. 18 podcast, Pelosi said that when Trump in 2016 produced a list of judges he would appoint as president, it amounted to a “dog whistle to the Evangelicals, to the Catholics, and all the rest: a woman will not have the right to choose.”

Yup, we should, in reality, give our entire work product to the government and let them decide what fruits of society we need. We'll be so happy then, in our well managed government warrens, trading social credits for the comforts of utopia.
Hey, Pelosi fancies herself a “catholic” (lower-case was intentional) who fully supports abortion right up to the moment of birth.
So of course she believes that people who actually believe in their religious doctrines are “sell-outs.”

On a milder note, this woman, with her millions of dollars and power, has the gall to call people with modest incomes (most Trump voters) "greedy" because they want a little tax relief??
I challenge Ms. Pelosi to walk the walk: You will "voluntarily" each year turn over 50% of your first $100,000.00 of family income to the government.* Any income over $100,000.00 will also be turned over to the government. After all, wanting to keep more would be "greedy", right? Why should you have any more after tax income than the average family? Hell, you say you are our servant. SERVANT.
In return you will pay no other taxes, gov't licenses, fees, etc.
*30% of that 1st 50% can go to the retirement plan of your choice. (Current rules for retirement withdrawals, Medicare, etc., will apply.)
Federal, State, and local entities can hash out how the $$ get divvied up.
Not quite ready for that, eh, Nan? You are a worthless, sinister hypocrite, worse than the medieval kings and princes shaking down their peasant laborers.
Well, I didn't really specify exactly how much milder... ;-)
Gotta kill them babies. They aint gonna kill themselves.
Sick nasty evil women.
When you advocate to murder babies in a genocidal fashion whilst living your own life of luxury you have no grounds to preach to others. Do not care what Nan thinks about ANYTHING.
Excommunication is automatic for people who publicly advocate for abortion.
Not with Bergoglio in charge.
It has to be enforced though. That’s the problem.
The bishops have been relying on this “automatic” thing - because they’re cowards - but nobody ever denies these people communion.
100% agree.
