Nancy Pelosi on Partial-Birth Abortion

10 comments | Permalink
“This is about a procedure that any parent would want her daughter to have access to if she needed it. And to frame it as an abortion issue is doing a disservice to medicine and to our young women and our country. So I hope we can get the focus back on the fact that this Supreme Court is deciding what medical procedures are necessary for child-bearing women.”
--Quoted in San Francisco Chronicle.

I can not imagine "any parent" would want their daughter to have this done. Her remarks demonstrate how out of touch she is with the reality of what this procedure actually is and what the majority of the American people think about it.

I have a daughter and I cannot imagine any situation where this disgusting brutality would be an option.

It's all about this babies brains being sucked out, while the head is still in the womb, but the rest of the baby is born.

Why not take the whole baby out and then suck it's brains out?

It's a sad Congresswoman who has no understanding what this is all about.

Nancy Pelosi's opinion is indicative of the entire Democrat Party, unfortunately. Her idiocy will now be parroted by liberals and leftists across the nation. Pelosi and her kind care little for human life or freedom; they want to kill the unborn and surrender to Islam. While America seems determined to destroy itself, the Christian must stand firm in the faith, remembering that politicians, be they liberal or conservative, do not have the final say. Politicians are not god, America is not god, and the Constitution is not the Bible. Our faith is in the Creator of the universe, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. On this we stand.

Amazing...how out of touch could you possibly be with the people you serve? To be so open and willing to readily kill your own constituents?

One interesting thing is that she doesn't seem to realize that the House, the Senate, and the President, representing the American people actually decided about this "medical procedure." The Supreme Court just said it is a constitutional law. She's the head of the House now. If she really thinks that "any parent" in America is with her on this, simply overturn the law Nancy.

She's not out of touch with her constituency. The people who voted her into office agree with her on this.

As for the procedure itself, the reason it's focused on abortion is because the procedure was made illegal only in cases of abortion. There's nothing illegal about the procedure itself. It just can't be used to kill a living fetus. It can be used to extract a dead one. So of course the focus is on the use of the procedure for abortion. That's what the law made illegal.

The shocking aspect is that Pelosi cannot be stupid enough to think that the physical position of a live baby with respect to the mother is of any consequence with regard to our moral obligation to refrain from killing it. This begs the question: why would she argue that it does?

This lady is without any conscience whatsoever. I can't imagine a grandparent wanting this procdure to be do their grandchild. How absurd for her to make such a statement and lump me and any parent in with her twisted hellish view of life.

Sorry for the typo on the last comment. It should read - wanting this procdure to be done to their grandchild.
