Pelosi Dodges Question On Pregnancy Center Attacks By Claiming She’s ‘A Very Catholic Person’

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi dodged a question about attacks on crisis pregnancy centers at her Thursday press conference by claiming that she is “a very Catholic person.”

Crisis pregnancy centers across the country with have been targeted for vandalism and in some cases arson in the wake of a leaked draft opinion showing that the Supreme Court is on the cusp of overturning Roe v. Wade. While Republicans have urged the Department of Justice to investigate the attacks as acts of terrorism, the DOJ official who would most likely lead such an investigation has a long record of criticizing crisis pregnancy centers as “predatory” and “harmful.”

When asked about the centers, Pelosi declined to condemn the attacks and pivoted to her own support for legalized abortion. Pelosi voted in September 2021 for the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would legalize abortion up to the moment of birth and eliminate conscience protections for doctors and nurses who would refuse to perform abortions.

“Let me just say this: a woman has a right to choose, to live up to her responsibility. It is up to her, her doctor, her family, her husband, her significant other and her God. This talk of politicizing all of this is something uniquely American and not right. Other countries, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, have had legislative initiatives to expand a woman’s right to choose. Very Catholic countries. I’m a very Catholic person, and I believe in a woman’s right to make her own decisions,” she said.
