In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.blogs.rollcall.com\/news\/pelosi-im-not-for-abortion-on-demand\/\">new interview with Roll Call<\/a>, she said this (emphasis added):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>I don\u2019t believe in abortion on demand<\/strong>, I don\u2019t believe in abortion on demand. I\u2019m talking about the health of the mother and the child and this is not a decision that a politician should be making. This is about a woman\u2019s judgment. This is about respect \u2014 respect \u2014 for women. I sometimes wonder if the Republican men who are here even know what\u2019s going on in their own families, because the fact is that contraception and birth control is something that is used \u2014 <strong>I don\u2019t believe that abortion is a form of birth control or contraception<\/strong> \u2014 and if you want to diminish the number of abortions in our country, you should love contraception, but they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This from\u00a0<em>Nancy Pelosi<\/em>, who has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/votesmart.org\/candidate\/key-votes\/26732\/nancy-pelosi\/2\/abortion\">dutifully voted for everything the abortion lobby wants<\/a>, who\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/unbelievable-nancy-pelosi-calls-abortion-issue-sacred-ground\/\">called<\/a>\u00a0<em>late-term<\/em>\u00a0abortion \u201csacred ground,\u201d who\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/nancy-pelosi-accepts-margaret-sanger-award-from-planned-parenthood\/\">gladly accepts awards<\/a>\u00a0named after the founder of the abortion-as-birth-control industry, who\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/pelosi-unwittingly-reveals-pro-abortion-politicians-weakness\/\">bitterly snaps<\/a>\u00a0at anyone who tries getting her to discuss the science behind what she claims not to believe in?<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time the former Speaker\u2019s tried this whopper\u2014last fall, she <a href=\"\/news\/ms-pelosi-if-you-abhor-abortion-then-why-support-planned-parenthood\/\">claimed<\/a> to \u201cabhor\u201d abortion. However, Pelosi&#8217;s actual record being everything the abortion lobby could want didn\u2019t stop NARAL from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prochoiceamerica.org\/media\/press-releases\/pr01132016_pelosi.html\">criticizing her remarks<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">At a time when our rights are under daily attack in the halls of Congress, on the campaign trail, in statehouses and in the courts, now more than ever, we need our champions to speak with a clear and strong voice in support of our legal right to abortion. Unfortunately, Leader Pelosi\u2019s recent comments fall well short of this standard.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">The Leader should stop using twisted GOP talking points about abortion and birth control. We don&#8217;t know women who demand abortion or use abortion as birth control. We do know women who make thoughtful decisions about how and if they want to start a family, and who need access to all reproductive-health care services, including abortion. We&#8217;re confident the Leader does too, which makes her comments all the more troubling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Time and time again, Leader Pelosi has stood up for women and our reproductive rights. But at a moment when so much is at stake, her comments are particularly disappointing and ill-advised.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So NARAL isn\u2019t satisfied with their elected representatives agreeing 100% with their positions and effectively delivering on their goals; they must also abstain from any rhetoric that might soften their public image enough to better sell their goals to the public. No wonder they <a href=\"http:\/\/aleteia.org\/2014\/11\/14\/abortion-rights-groups-on-2014-electionsnothing-to-see-here\/\">keep losing elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is deeply revealing that NARAL is this sensitive. As Ramesh Ponnuru <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/429734\/naral-vs-nancy-pelosi\">quipped<\/a>, \u201cHow dare Pelosi suggest that it is hypothetically possible to be too extreme in support of abortion.\u201d They have no concern for how they want to be perceived by those not already supporting them, or for how preposterous their complaints sound. Abortion may not be birth control in the sense that you regularly schedule abortions on the assumption you\u2019re going to need them, but it certainly is in the sense that whole point of abortion is\u00a0to prevent giving birth when you don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<p>And if NARAL is right about abortion\u2019s morality, then what would be wrong if women <em>did<\/em> use it \u201cas birth control\u201d? It\u2019d be less practical for the woman, sure, but from NARAL\u2019s perspective shouldn\u2019t that fall in the category of \u201cwomen\u2019s personal decisions\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, pro-lifers know why <em>we<\/em> find the concept of abortion \u201con demand\u201d disgusting, but I\u2019m at a loss as to why NARAL would. They are constantly lobbying to make abortions cheaper and easier to obtain regardless of the <a href=\"\/news\/pro-abortion-disregard-for-parental-rights-evident-in-attack-on-tx-judicial-bypass-rules\/\">reasons<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/wi-judges-admitting-privileges-ruling-weak-facts-weaker-law\/\">for<\/a> any regulation. NARAL does not\u00a0support any policy, from informed consent to waiting periods, that would help ensure that the decision to abort isn\u2019t being made casually. And we\u2019re constantly told that no matter what a woman\u2019s reason for aborting is, it\u2019s unquestionable.<\/p>\n<p>All of that sounds an awful lot like an on-demand service to me.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, NARAL\u2019s implication that they don\u2019t want people getting the idea that abortion is used casually is\u2026 essentially the same thing Pelosi was saying. So really, all NARAL is critiquing Pelosi for is agreeing with them, albeit without adding \u201cand of course neither does the pro-choice movement.\u201d Even though the implication was obvious anyway from the facts that Pelosi presumes to represent it and thinks it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jillstanek.com\/2013\/05\/pelosi-gosnell-really-disgusting-but-not-what-abortions-about\/\">can do no wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the pro-abortion world, the activist and politician classes have little of substance to disagree on, so the pettiness of this squabble is to be expected. Truly, they deserve each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is the second major Democrat to upset her pro-abortion constituents with unexpected comments lately.
