This is nothing new from Speaker Nancy Pelosi; she’s always bringing up how she’s the mother of five (breaking her own House rule against using gendered language), and how she’s a devout Catholic. And the media always eats it up. Remember how she claimed she prayed for President Trump daily?
What point does she think she’s making bringing up her Catholicism every time she argues for abortion?

Pelosi Says ‘As A Devout Catholic’ Having Five Kids Was Great For Her, But ‘Poor Women’ Need Taxpayer-Funded Abortionshttps://t.co/aNOg2WrM3E

Disgusting

America has a very libertarian view on religion, in most of the world you wouldn't start with the devout Catholicism and end with support for subsidized abortions. https://t.co/A0t2U4OXtg

She’s saying the quiet part out loud: “Poor babies are worth less than rich babies.”

Or she could pay for them since she’s been beating the stock market trading on insider information..

Good point.
This is dark

She’s very confused as to what the word “devout” means.

As a devout Catholic I find this disturbing.

hey Nancy, what about my devout beliefs? Why don't they matter?

People want to have an abortion pay for it out of your pocket or invest various types of birth control. And I don’t want abortion clinic being funded by taxpayers money

if i had a year off purgatory for every time she's called herself a devout catholic

Why do Catholic bishops let these politicians constantly play the "I'm a devout Catholic" card?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Which word?

Sorry. Devout Catholics don’t support taxpayer funding to keep the poors from breeding.

What do her family or religious views have to do with human rights?

She’s just confirming that she just as wicked as she always was. 🤷🏻♀️ Nothing new here. 😒

What she said is disgusting in a few different ways.

You can’t call yourself a “devout Catholic” if you don’t believe in what Catholicism stands for. It’s just meaningless words at that point.

Speaker Pelosi, why should poor woman have to murder their child while you are allowed to be blessed with children? Children are always a blessing, no matter your economic status.

How can someone say this with a straight face?
— Chris Lathrop (@smaw_lathrop) July 22, 2021
Poor women don’t have to have their abortions subsidized by people who don’t believe in abortions. Open clinics that are privately funded to do so and put your money where your beliefs are. Forcing those who don’t believe in abortions to pay for it isn’t the answer.
— TeaClips (@clips_tea) July 22, 2021
We checked Planned Parenthood’s site; they say an abortion costs anywhere between $0 and $1,500. We’d guess those late-term abortions take a lot more work.
Being a baby machine does not make you a Catholic or a person walking in faith. She clearly is neither.
