WASHINGTON, D.C., June 13, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In response to a question today from a reporter about a late-term abortion ban that is being proposed in Congress, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that the issue of late-term abortion is \u201csacred ground\u201d for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t have anything to do with politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Weekly Standard reporter had pointed out that the bill was proposed by legislators in response to the horrific case of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was found guilty of murder for \u201csnipping\u201d the spinal cords of three babies born alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey argue that there really isn\u2019t much of a moral difference between what someone like Dr. 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 he\u2019ll perform an elective abortions 28 weeks into pregnancy,\u201d asked the reporter. \u201cSo, 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?\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi responded by saying that what Gosnell did was \u201creprehensible,\u201d but then said that the bill is also \u201creprehensible,\u201d suggesting that it shows \u201cdisrespect\u201d to \u201ca judgment a woman makes about her reproductive health.\u201d (source)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whenever Nancy Pelosi refers to her faith it is much like \u201cBertie\u201d Wooster\u2019s prideful remembrance of his \u201cScripture Knowledge Prize.\u201d This was kind of a running joke in P.G. Wodehouse\u2019s Wooster and Jeeves novels.<\/p>\n

Still once again Nancy Pelosi says more than she intends. When she talks about abortion and sacred ground I am reminded of:<\/p>\n

And the LORD said, \u201cWhat have you done? The voice of your brother\u2019s blood is crying to me from the ground. Genesis 4:10<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
