On the January 18th episode of the podcast, “You and Me Both with Hillary Clinton,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked pro-lifers for refusing to put other issues ahead of the right to life of innocent preborn human beings. Meanwhile, expanding women’s ability to kill those children (at taxpayers’ expense) is at the forefront of Pelosi’s (and the majority of Democrats’) agenda.<\/p>\n

“[Y]ou take the abortion issue \u2014 and many of these people are very good people; that’s just their point of view,” said Pelosi. “But they were willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue.”<\/p>\n

She added that it “gives me great grief as a Catholic” that pro-life voters would put the right to life ahead of other issues.<\/p>\n

The National Catholic Register notes that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops knows the issues of poverty and the death penalty cannot be ignored, but that ending abortion is the “preeminent priority” for Catholic bishops “because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed.” Since Roe v. Wade<\/em>, 62 million lives have been tragically lost to abortion.<\/p>\n

That is what Pelosi fails to realize: for pro-lifers, protecting the right to life of the most innocent human beings is the one issue that matters the\u00a0most,<\/em> and ending their legalized killing is of the utmost urgency. Abortion is violent and inhumane<\/a>. Each procedure inflicts its own horrific torture on the preborn child. The D&E dismemberment abortion (the most common second-trimester abortion procedure) is used on viable preborn children who are capable of feeling pain<\/a>. Their arms and legs are torn from their bodies, as explained in the video below by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino. Until abortion is unacceptable and illegal and the rights of preborn children are restored, no one’s rights or humanity in America are safe<\/em>.<\/p>\n
