Wade. While Republicans have <a href=\"https:\/\/franklin.house.gov\/sites\/evo-subsites\/franklin.house.gov\/files\/evo-media-document\/06.15.2022%20Letter%20to%20DOJ%20RE%20Domestic%20Terrorist%20Attacks%20on%20Pro-Life%20Institutions.pdf\">urged<\/a> 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/pro-life-facilities-are-under-attack-a-top-doj-official-called-them-fake-clinics\/\">record<\/a> of criticizing crisis pregnancy centers as \u201cpredatory\u201d and \u201charmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the centers, Pelosi declined to condemn the attacks and pivoted to her own support for legalized abortion. Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/24\/house-democrats-pass-abortion-bill-roe-v-wade\/\">voted<\/a> in September 2021 for the Women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet 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\u2019s right to choose. Very Catholic countries. I\u2019m a very Catholic person, and I believe in a woman\u2019s right to make her own decisions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi also defended her own support for expansive legalized abortion by claiming that the Catholic Church should not have a role in determining U.S. law. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/24\/henry-cuellar-one-democrat-against-womens-health-protection-act-abortion\/\"><strong>(RELATED: Here\u2019s The One Democrat Who Voted Against The Party\u2019s Abortion Bill)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever I agree with the popes on is not necessarily what public policy should be in the U.S., as people make their own judgments, honor their own responsibilities, and tend to the needs of their families,\u201d she said in response to another question about whether or not she agrees with popes John Paul II and Francis that abortion is murder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH (16:10):<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Join me live at the U.S. Capitol for my weekly press conference. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u0zdYiH0yp\">https:\/\/t.co\/u0zdYiH0yp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpeakerPelosi\/status\/1537448254220161024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 16, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, Pelosi\u2019s home diocese, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/20\/sf-archbishop-pelosi-holy-communion-abortion\/\">banned<\/a> her from receiving Communion in the diocese in May after she broke off conversations with him over her support for abortion. The Catechism of the Catholic Church <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/roman_curia\/congregations\/cfaith\/documents\/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20090711_aborto-procurato_en.html\">teaches<\/a> that \u201cA person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication\u2026 by the very commission of the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others.
