No.
A more accurate description would be: She was elected by a constituency with a majority that believes abortion is ok and isn't murder.
The MOST accurate description of people that can vote for Pelosi isn't allowed on this board.
An accurate description of their belief about abortion is that they're wrong.
They voted for Pelosi, so it can't come as a surprise.
Do you think it's just dandy for a woman to murder her baby?
I don't.
That's because I'm not wrong.
Wow!
The only uproar is in the Catholic Church trying to usurp control of an elected official over that of it's constituency.
If you don't have a problem with that, then something is seriously wrong.
I have no problem with that.
Religion is bunk.
If Pelosi really really is a Catholic, then she has to ACT like one. Jesus didn't like the Hypocrites, the people who prayed most piously in public.
I don't like hypocrites either. Catholicism teaches not only that abortion is murder, but that every sperm is sacred and that birth control is reprehensible therefore. Since Pelosi doesn't have 17 kids, as my grandmother did, she's either a lesbian...and thus not a catholic, she's cutting her husband off, and thus not a catholic, or she practiced some form of contraceptive birth control or other forms of sex that don't run the risk of sperm meeting egg, and thus not catholic, or she's sterile or very infertile.
The chances of that latter are fairly slim.
Given her public behaviors, Nancy's just a hypocrite.
Fits.
She's a Democrat.
But ALL politicians have to make a choice between what their faith is, and what their political interests are. If the two don't lay on the same path, they shouldn't claim to be a member of a religion when they don't obey the religion.
That's not difficult, is it?
I don't hold that Mohammed is Allah's profit, so I don't claim to be a muslim.
Pelosi doesn't hold to the doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope...why should her claims to be a catholic be accepted?
Not at all hard to understand.
No. Not hard to understand at all.
If she walks instead of dribbling, she's off the basketball team.
Yet I do not believe the Church has any authority even within it's own church to declare abortion wrong/murder, or anything else other than how the Bible regards an unborn. Doing so is an abuse of power.
OF COURSE the Church has the authority to define it's moral boundaries for it's members....it's what the church exists to do.
"Abuse of power"? That's funny. The Church will claim to draw it's power from God, and who are you to say otherwise? It's not a political body, you know.
(That there isn't any god isn't relevant to this discussion, I'm discussing the viewpoint of the church.)
Hmmmm, is right.
An analogy that has no bearing on said subject.
Oh it CAN'T POSSIBLY have any bearing.
Because it's precise, it fits, and you can't refute it.
So naturally you have to say it's imprecise and inapplicable.
