House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) defended The Women's Health Protection Act from San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone's assertion that "the bill is nothing short of child sacrifice," by claiming that "God has given us all free will. I am using my free will to make sure that no state can implement any restrictions on any woman's free will to terminate the life of her own unborn child."
"Just because I am a Catholic doesn't mean that I must blindly follow the dictates of a meddlesome priest," the Speaker explained. "In this country we have freedom of religion. I can practice my religion in any way I see fit. Luckily, when I take communion all my sins are forgiven."
The Archbishop agreed that "God gives us free will, but if people choose to do evil with that gift they fail to honor what God has given them. It is true that sins can be forgiven through the completion of certain rites of the Church—of which communion is one. However, forgiveness is granted on the true repentance of the sinner and her determination to not repeat the sin. Passing legislation that would outlaw any restraints against killing the unborn will lead to many more mothers murdering their own children. So, not only is Speaker Pelosi not repenting, she is encouraging millions of women to commit a most heinous sin."
In related news, citing the new Texas law restricting abortions, the City of Chicago is placing ads in Dallas newspapers urging residents who want to abort their babies to move to Chicago "where everyone has the right to an abortion—no questions asked." The ads go on to mock "the weak sop of lower taxes, lower cost of living, and fewer personal restrictions that Republicans offer in your state."

Evil is as evil does...
I was taught that taking Communion when not in the state of grace is a SACRILEGE. It does NOT forgive sins.
If she really said that, she is headed for Hell.
And the fifth was named Kasdeja [a fallen angel]; this is he who showed the children of men all the wicked smitings (blows) of spirits and demons, and the smitings (blows) of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away- Book of Enoch
Those who hold/held power in our government, and other governments around the world, are among the most evil villains in all of mankind's history. Only the actual fallen angels (Satan and his followers) exceed them in desolation of humankind. It won't be long now until their reign ends forever.
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.”
