Pelosi decides to fight it
Via American Papist who’s doing an amazing job keeping up with this whole mess, we have some new tidbits.
First of all, numerous Bishops and the USCCB have now spoken out specifically about Pelosi’s promulgations.
Leaked to various sources, Pelosi’s official response, to be delivered by a flunky rather than herself:
“While Catholic teaching is clear that life begins at conception, many Catholics do not ascribe to that view. The Speaker agrees with the Church that we should reduce the number of abortions. She believes that can be done by making family planning more available, as well as by increasing the number of comprehensive age-appropriate sex education and caring adoption programs.
There’s more there, but Thomas did all the work, so how’s about checking out his blog and all the various links he has. To keep it all straight, start here with his Timeline for PelosiGate.

The Speaker agrees with the Church that we should reduce the number of abortions.
“Reduce?” That’s an amazingly idiotic statement for an “ardent Catholic” who claims to be well studied on the subject to make.

I think it would be good to have as many people as possible write your local Rep. as well as the Office of the Speaker.
