WASHINGTON, D.C., June 11, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The ability to destroy human embryos to cure diseases is a “gift from God” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a self-described “devout Catholic”, referring to the recent bill passed to fund human embryonic stem-cell research.
“Science is a gift of God to all of us and science has taken us to a place that is biblical in its power to cure,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). “And that is the embryonic stem cell research.”
Pro-life and Catholic leaders, however, have found Pelosi’s statement shocking for its suggestion that God would provide so-called “biblical” powers of healing by the means of the destruction of human life.
“I’m not sure what world Nancy Pelosi lives in, but it’s not this world. She’s not connected to reality,” said Rev. Thomas Eutenauer of Human Life International in an interview with LifeSiteNews.com. Eutenauer stated that Pelosi’s radical embracing of an anti-life agenda deserves “excommunication.” He added that the reluctance of the American bishops in general to discipline Nancy Pelosi and other politicians for using the Catholic faith to justify immoral positions is a source of great scandal to the Church.
Tony Perkins, the head of the Family Research Council, similarly responded with disgust. "Pelosi must not have learned from Rudy Giuliani's experience during the GOP debate when the building was struck by lightening as he sought to justify abortion," he said.
"Of course, it's complete nonsense to suggest that God wants us to destroy human embryos, since they are His own creation," Perkins continued. "This is just the latest example of the Left's aggressive efforts to lure the unsuspecting into supporting immoral and unethical policies which are whitewashed with spiritual words and phrases."
The Archdiocese of San Francisco, Pelosi’s home diocese, was not able to provide comment on Pelosi’s statements or on her status as a Catholic in the archdiocese by press time
And she’s supposed to be a Catholic.
Not like any Catholic I know.
She’d make a Nazi blush.
Pelosi is a Joseph Mengele experimental Catholic.
I thought she had converted to Islam during that “special” Dem. meeting where the Islamic prayerof conversion was given, and they all said “amen”. And we know how cheap life is in that realm of evil.
-—“Science is a gift of God to all of us and science has taken us to a place that is biblical in its power to cure,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).-—
Hubris (Greek ?????), according to its modern usage, is exaggerated self pride or self-confidence (overbearing pride), often resulting in fatal retribution.
She, like the rest of those blood thirsty ghouls, is an abomination.
I know there are a great number of monsters who would gladly sacrifice innumerable lives to extend their own for just one more day, but I could never live with myself if my life came at the cost of a dead baby.
No life is worth slaughtering the unborn and those who would are unworthy of the life they do have.
I’ll say amen to that. Pelosi, John F’ing Kerry and Kennedy should be excommunicated.
And it is a great scandal that they have yet to be.
This woman is such an evil, wicked person.
How about if we destroyed the embryos that would’ve been her grandchildren?
Good grief. She is one nasty woman.
Product of 10 years of catholic education and proudly Missouri Synod Lutheran. My opinion, and I know it will rankle many. I do not mean any vitriol or meanness.
“Articles on embryo adoption that ran in the New York Times and the Cincinnati Post noted that many more couples want to adopt frozen embryos than there are embryos available for adoption.”

And even if it were not the case, it will only encourage women to sell embryos, so mad scientists will have enough for their evil experiments.
It is NOT against the law to experiment on embryos. But they want our tax dollars to do so. They don’t want to use their own $$. Venture capitalists aren’t investing in ESC research.

What a surprise, the Antichrist is a woman.
I am well aware of this.
The Bishops see this as simple management of the Churches assets; fiscal necessity.
Unfortunately this is typical American Stile management; short term thinking while ignoring the long term damage.
The bishops are sacrificing the long term viability of the Church is favor of short term financial solvency.
Not to mention that they are failing in their duty to lead the flock in the path of righteousness.
shocking is one of the milder adjectives I would use to describe Pelousy's sick headed logic. She makes a hefty living twisting facts to meet her adgenda. Evil is as evil does.
G_d does *not* give us other human beings to sacrifice, for *any* reason, Pelosi. If you believe this to truly be a "gift from G_d", then that "god" must needs be Moloch...
