As Ramesh notes, during a press conference today, Nancy Pelosi got annoyed at a male reporter for bringing up Kermit Gosnell and asking her about late-term abortion.
Calling what happened in Gosnell’s clinic “reprehensible,” she took the I’m-a-mother-and-you’re-a-man approach (which is just another version of an approach seen on MSNBC last night), adding: “As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this.”
She added: “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.”

It’s unclear what exactly in the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church would lead her to believe that law protecting innocent human life wouldn’t be a priority of a “practicing and respectful Catholic.”
In the evasion, it’s hard not to interpret her introduction of religion into the backlash against a simple question as an attempt to use religion as cover. It certainly wouldn’t be a first.
Additionally, it’s unclear what exactly was reprehensible about what happened in Gosnell’s clinic, in Pelosi’s estimation.
So much Bo-Tox must have numbed her brain.
Anyone else would have had a raging headache from the cognitive dissonance of even thinking of using the term ”sacred ground” in association with late-term abortion.
The most prodigious killer of Americans is abortion, with “Planned” “Parenthood” leading the way. The most prodigious killer of Canadians is socialized medicine with the taxpayer taking the hit. Sacred ground- my asss! Pelosi, you are a hypocrite and an unprincipled miscreant and should be excommunicated!
