In a fascinating juxtaposition of news, on Friday the pro-abort House Minority LeaderNancy Pelosi put herself forward in an MSNBC interview as a faithful, “mainstream Catholic” unlike pro-life Marco Rubio, whom she called a “polarizing” figure for opposing same-sex marriage.
On two of the biggest social justice issues of our day—abortion and gay marriage—Pelosi has taken a hardline stand in direct opposition to Church teaching, something resembling a “faithful” Greenpeace member advocating baby seal killing or an orthodox Jew pushing pork.
This past January, Ms. Pelosi said that she knew “more about having babies than the pope,” and that a woman has “the right” to an abortion.
In her acceptance speech for Planned Parenthood’s highest honor—the Margaret Sanger Award—Pelosi went still further, calling pro-lifers (like the pope) “dumb,” “closed-minded” and “oblivious.”
