Nancy Pelosi and Abortion

Posted by Amanda on April 27th, 2007 . Filed under: Abortion, Politics .

I love that a woman is the Speaker of the House. I hate that woman is Nancy Pelosi.

From Denny Burk:

Here is how the law defines partial birth abortion:

“An abortion in which a physician delivers an unborn child’s body until only the head remains inside the womb, punctures the back of the child’s skull with a Sharp instrument, and sucks the child’s brains out before completing delivery of the dead infant.”

Here is what Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says about partial birth abortion:

“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.”

I love the very first comment on Denny’s article. A reader asks, “But, would that parent want that procedure to have access to their grandchild?”
