During her weekly press conference, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked about the fate of the Hyde Amendment. Not only did she reaffirm her opposition to Hyde, a budget rider amendment which protects taxpayers from having to fund abortion, but she did so while claiming she is a devout Catholic.
When asked by a reporter the reasons why to have it overturned the speaker claimed:
Because it’s 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 a long time. As a devout Catholic and mother of five and six years, I feel that God blessed my husband and me with our beautiful family, five children, six years almost to the day, but it’s not up to me to dictate that that’s what other people should do. And it’s an issue of fairness and justice for poor women and in our country.
