“Danger” is Nancy Pelosi’s Middle Name

Danger is Nancy Pelosi’s Middle Name

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spoke on abstinence programs at the uber-liberal “Netroots Nation” blogger conference. The Speaker called abstinence-only programs “dangerous” to America’s youth and said that the only solution is to elect more pro-abortion politicians.

She went on to criticize the proposed federal regulations on conscience protections as also being “dangerous” and said that if “you don’t like abortion you should love contraception.” Amazingly, she goes on to say she is speaking as both a mother of five and a “devout Catholic,” despite the fact that her beliefs on abortion and contraception directly contradict the teachings of the Catholic Church.

As a politician, Rep. Pelosi has every right to disagree with the Church’s teachings on abortion and contraception, just as doctors, nurses and pharmacists should have every right to live by their respective church teachings and not be forced to perform abortions or distribute drugs that would violate their beliefs.

America does not need more pro-abortion politicians. It needs leaders who respect freedom of conscience.
