SAN FRANCISCO — The Archbishop of San Francisco on Thursday responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after she cited her Catholic faith while defending efforts to permit federal funding of elective abortions.
In response, the Archbishop of San Francisco said: “To use the smokescreen of abortion as an issue of health and fairness to poor women is the epitome of hypocrisy: what about the health of the baby being killed? What about giving poor women real choice, so they are supported in choosing life? Let me repeat: no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it,” he told CNA.
“The right to life is a fundamental — the most fundamental — human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights.”
Speaking at her weekly press conference in the U.S. Capitol on July 22, Speaker Pelosi said that she supported a repeal of the Hyde Amendment because it is “an issue of health, of many women in America, especially those in lower-income situations and in different states.”
“And it is something that has been a priority for many of us for a long time,” Pelosi said.
A draft spending bill recently approved by the House Appropriations Committee would allow for federal funding of elective abortions in Medicaid. It excludes the Hyde Amendment, a federal policy since 1976 which prohibits funding of most abortions in Medicaid.
At the press conference, Pelosi cited her faith, saying that as “a devout Catholic and mother of five in six years, I feel that God blessed my husband and me with our beautiful family, five children in six years almost to the day.”
Finally, church leaders are speaking up!
She’s not a catholic
They always use the Lower Income for their excuse always.
Yes!
Cannot love the Lord and support baby killing..she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Christ warned us about people like this woman.
It’s beautiful to hear the Archbishop speak up for the babies! It’s about time!
She needs to be excommunicated!!!!
Drunk 🥴
Her soul is rotten…a mother will never want to kill her baby…
If anything looks like the devil incarnated it’s that right there.
Amen

Finally someone said it.
Baby eaters? Wtf?
No taxpayer funds towards Abortion
She looks beautiful!
She likes power, money, and politics more than God. That’s obvious.
She cited her faith as a molochite 😂
Her kid will be speaker after her.. after 50 years in office. System can’t be more broken.
How much Adrinachome do you all think she consumes in a month???
You cant be a catholic or christian and be a Democrat! They dont go together! JS… and I said what I said!
Finally!👏👏👏👏
Facts, but the church doesn’t pay taxes at all so. Could I get that “God exempt tax credit” please? I don’t agree with half of the stuff the government chooses to spend my money on.. still haven’t seen a tax return. (Me and 35million others) Come on IRS. If it were the other way around and I owed you money you would seize my assets. Does anyone else see a problem here?
