Although the Catholic Church opposes abortion, Pelosi has given similar responses when asked about the topic of babies in the womb in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2015, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/craig-millward\/flashback-pelosi-defends-abortion-i-know-more-about-having-babies-pope\">CNS News<\/a> reporter asked the Democratic congresswoman whether \u201can unborn child 20 weeks into pregnancy\u201d is a \u201chuman being.\u201d Pelosi responded: \u201cYou know what, what we\u2019re talking about on the floor of the House is something that says politicians should determine what affects the health of a woman, her life, her health, and the rest. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s up to politicians to do that, and that\u2019s why we are very overwhelmingly opposing what is going on on the floor of the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unsatisfied with Pelosi\u2019s answer, the reporter pressed: \u201cWhat is your personal take on it?
