"My Roman Catholicism Requires Me To Be Pro-Choice"

WHAT? What on earth does that even mean?  Pelosi never ceases to amaze and entertain me with he endless array of stupid remarks with my favorite being:   "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

At a recent press conference, Nancy "crazy as bat crap"  Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with exceptions for when the life or physical health of the mother was at stake.

When she was asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, to no one's surprise Pelosi refused to answer.

“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. This shouldn’t  have anything to do with politics.”

I hesitate to offer spiritual counseling to anyone, but dear G-D.  Nancy Pelosi’s confessor should immediately quit his job and go live in a Trappist monastery for a while.  The man is clearly not doing his job properly. Remember: this is the person that the Democratic party wants to be the next Speaker of the House.  I can only say that they must be as crazy as she is.

This is the video of Pelosi's exchange with a report  from The Weekly Standard:

THE WEEKLY STANDARD
: Madam Leader, you mentioned the bill that passed out of the House Judiciary committee. Members who have proposed that bill have done that in the wake of this murder trial in Philadelphia. They argue that there really isn't much of a moral difference between what someone like Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to infants born at 23, 24, 25 weeks into pregnancy, and what can happen legally at a clinic down the road in Maryland where a doctor says that he'll perform an elective abortion 28 weeks into pregnancy. So the question I have for you is what is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth? 

PELOSI: You're probably enjoying that question a lot, I can see you savoring it. [Laughter in press corps] Let me just tell you this.

TWS: Could you answer the question?

PELOSI: Let me just tell you this. What was done in Philadelphia was reprehensible and everybody condemned it. For them to decide to disrespect a judgment a woman makes about her reproductive health is reprehensible. Next question.

TWS: So what's the moral difference? I just asked a simple question. … What's the moral difference then between 26 weeks elective abortion and the killing of that same infant born alive. This is the issue that they're trying to--

PELOSI: This is not the issue. They are saying that there's no abortion. It would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country. You're taking the extreme case. You're taking the extreme case. And what I'm saying to you is what happened in Philadelphia was reprehensible. And I do not think you--

TWS: [Inaudible]

PELOSI: I'm not going to have this conversation with you because you obviously have an agenda. You're not interested in having an answer.

TWS: [Inaudible]

PELOSI: I've responded to you to the extent that I'm going to respond to you. Because I want to tell you something. As the mother of five children, my oldest child was 6 years old the day I brought my 5th child home from the hospital, as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. I don't think it should have anything to do with politics. And that's where you're taking it and I'm not going there.

TWS [after tape ends]: It was a simple question. You didn't answer.
