Pelosi on Catholic’s Being Anti-Abortion: “They Have This Conscience Thing”…

And she called Cain “clueless?”

Via WaPo:

. . . Pelosi recently was criticized for the way she characterized a bill to amend Republican-proposed conscience exemptions for health-care reform that allow providers to refuse to perform abortions. Pelosi called the measure, which passed last month with some help from Democrats, “savage,’’ and said, “When the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor and health-care providers do not have to intervene, if this bill is passed. It’s just appalling.”

In retrospect, does she think that assessment went too far? Not at all, she said: “They would” let women die on the floor, she said. “They would! Again, whatever their intention is, this is the effect.’’

Catholic health-care providers in particular have long said they’d have to go out of business without the conscience protections that Pelosi says amount to letting hospitals “say to a woman, ‘I’m sorry you could die’ if you don’t get an abortion.” Those who dispute that characterization “may not like the language,’’ she said, “but the truth is what I said. I’m a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it . . . but they have this conscience thing’’ that she insists put women at physical risk, although Catholic providers strongly disagree.

    Hello? Anybody in there Nancy? Conscience? That is what makes us human.

    I’m not Catholic, but I have to say that some of the stuff this dear Nancy is reported to have said, just makes no sense.

    It is true that as Michael Savage says: Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. Nasty Nancy thinks like every other Democrat. If they say it, it becomes the truth and negates any previous “truth”.

    Princess Nancy is not devout if she approves of abortion. She is not a member of the Catholic church, if she refers to other Catholics as “they” instead of “we”. Sure, she’ll go to church when a camera is there. Sure, she ‘ll accept Communion just like Teddy Kennedy used to.

    IPO Nancy must have sold her soul to get to such a lofty position in the socialist democratic party. Such vile and groundless statements that come out of that piehole, she has no shame.

    Sounds like Convenient Catholicism to me, NAN. Methinks your Devoutness wears thin, so you may want to drop that phraseology. But, hey, there’s always the confessional, yes? Comes in handy in how you conduct your profession.

    Nancy… ahem… listen… that conscience thingie is that gift given to man by God to separate his children from the animals. Nancy, look…. that whole judgement thing, purgatory with the Lord and all, kind of sucks, doesn’t it…. Does judgement day worry you? Oh, that’s only for those of us who cling to our bibles, eh? Momento mori: Remember your mortality.

  17. Hidajunshin says:

    Pelosi, please find one Catholic doctor who would refuse to perform one on a woman dying from pregnancy complications. That would be gross malpractice and against every conceivable medical ethical code.

    What a Catholic doctor against abortion might do after saving the life of the mother is refuse to stick a needle into the baby’s brain to kill it if it survived the operation.

    She’s sick, and she projects her most depraved thoughts and desires onto her political opponents.

    And if you think for one minute our Lord and Savior is going to accept “I’m a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it . . . but they have this conscience thing’’ as an explanation for state-funded baby-killing, you are in for one big surprise.

    Postmodern Pelosi is simply more flexable than those burdoned with these vicorian consciences. Pelosi is like many liberals in that they can dance with Catholocism without being burned by its implications. Much like those who turn a blind eye to folks like our Che wannabe that riddled the White House. The things we must do to make sin palatable.

    “Stretch” is such a distasteful person/thing. She’s a fake Catholic, just like John “Effing” Kerry, “Plugs” Biden, that horrid Kathleen “Chicken Neck” Sibelius and the Kennedy clan. I want to know why the bishops of their various diocese do not prevent them from receiving communion. Guess they don’t have any guts. I have to chuckle when these pro-abortion loons scream about “womens rights”. What about the future female they are killing in of or out of the womb? It’s all a matter of convenience. I’m hoping The Great One picks up on this issue tonight; should be one of Levin’s finest radio moments!

    When “Stretch” burns in hell, the stentch of that Botox burning is going to be horrific!

    @Disturbed Mary

    The needle on the botox syringe was so long that it penetrated her skull and the botox was injected directly into the frontal lobe of her cerebrum, thus affecting thought and personality.

    That is the only explanation for a comment this hopelessly stupid.

    A NUT in a nut shell…
    Why do these liberal idiots think that it is okay to fund abortions with taxpayer money? Not all taxpayers believe that abortion is a viable option to an unwanted pregnancy and most all agree that it is NOT ever to be used as a form of birth control. The answer is for Government to just quit funding it with other people’s money…start making people accountable for their actions. Progressive liberalism is a convoluted mental disorder that apparently is incapable of producing a single application of common sense in thought pattern continuity.

    Pelosi’s husband owns Starkist Tuna and was handed a great big stimulus package. John Kerry’s wife owns Heinz 57 and I cannot swallow Heinz. The human being is composed of body and soul, the immortal soul. Man’s conscience is part of man’s immortal soul. This conscience thing is an integral part of WHO man is. Without his conscience, man might be a table or a rock, or a cow. Tables and rocks and cows do not, I repeat, do not vote. If tables and rocks and cows do not vote, why is this woman alienating the persons who will vote? and at her age.

  46. Sandmama says:

    Ever notice that politicians who describe themselves as ‘devout’ generally do so just before they publicly go against some basic tenant of their Faith? Catholics who are, in point of fact, often very devout, tend to describe themselves as ‘practicing’ and it usually isn’t followed by ‘but…’
    Pelosi is about the most unprincipled person in the US Congress today, but she brings home the pork so we are most likely stuck with her.
    Why the bishops do not sanction her for these statements, I cannot imagine.

  47. Steven Broiles says:

    This is neither to shock nor amuse. I have witnessed demonic activity on several occasions, and I am convinced that Nancy Pelosi is possessed by the Devil, or, that a demonic intelligence is at work within her. I am a layman, not a priest, and although I am Catholic, I am not devout.
    There is the lie. Then there is hypocrisy. But there is something within both her record of actions and the way she speaks that tip me off: Her tenacity of adherence to the unnatural, the unlikely, the perverse.
    And yet she calls herself a “devout Catholic.” Well, indeed she is. But WHO is the object of her devotion? That is the important question. This is important, because when the Antichrist does appear, the Devil will use people like Nancy Pelosi to deceive both skeptics and believers alike—even the elect.

    Tables and rocks and cows do not pay taxes nor does anything with no conscience, absent an immortal soul. Taxation without representation. Nancy Pelosi is not representing any human being in existence but cows, tables and rocks. Go for it, but not on my tax dollar.

  50. Mary De Voe says:
    November 19, 2011 at 11:53 am

    Pelosi is saying one thing about saving the life of the mother and meaning another thing, abortion across the board at will, on demand, and paid for by tax dollars. Take the tax dollars away and Pelosi will let the mother die on the floor of the hospital. Or take our tax purchased Jet Plane away from Pelosi and let her work for a living. As one poster said: “Get a job and pay for your own damned abortion, sex change and facelift. A taxpayer.

  51. tjmorrill says:

    Ms. Pelosi is an apostate and her bishop should remove her forthwith from any more contact with the Church, and if she does not take the hint, then forceably declare that anyone who is a Catholic and associates with her should consider themselves excommunicated along with her.

    Ms. Pelosi forgets that in addition to a clean conscience, Catholics have Science on their side.
    This is because there is 100% scientific agreement that -from implantation onwards- the Human Embryo is an INDIVIDUAL of the human Species.
    He/She will be the same individual then, than when he/she is born, or becomes a Teen, or gets to be an Old person in need of Botox.

    The idea that Abortion is needed to save the Woman’s life is ludicrous. This is the XXI century. These days Medicine is well advanced.

    The fact is that Abortion is used as a means of contraception: mostly to prevent discomfort and socioeconomic distress.
