House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) vowed today that she will join with the Obama administration in standing up against the Catholic Church in defending a new regulation that will require Catholic individuals to buy, and Catholic institutions to provide, health insurance plans that cover sterilizations and artificial contraceptives, including those that induce abortions....
At her Wednesday press briefing, CNSNews.com asked Pelosi: "The administration has issued a regulation that will require all health-care plans to cover sterilization and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that induce abortions. This would force Catholic individuals and institutions to act against their consciences. All across the nation, Catholic bishops are saying-"
Pelosi responded: "Is this a speech, or do we have a question in disguise as a speech?"
CNSNews.com continued..."Catholic bishops are saying they will not comply with this law. Will you stand with your fellow Catholics in resisting this law or will you stick by the administration?"
Pelosi: "First of all, I am going to stick with my fellow Catholics in supporting the administration on this. I think it was a very courageous decision that they made, and I support it."

We need to get rid of Reid / obama / Pelosi in november.
They are the Axis of Evil
Pelosi always votes with her church. She only pretends to be a Catholic. Her church is government. Her god is Marx.
Shouldn’t she have said she is going to “stick it” to her fellow Catholics? Got an e-mail from Supreme Grand Knight Carl Anderson today. KOC unwavering. That’s 2,000,000 of us.

There is one and only one certain thing that will happen here.
The Catholic Church will NOT back down.
Reporter Asks Pelosi: Was THE WORD [Jesus] Made Flesh at Conception or at Nativity?
Paging Archbishop Niederauer. Please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby. Pope Benedict XVI wishes to discuss excommunication policy.
Liberals have a wonderful definition of ‘courage’ - repeating standard liberal elitist lines before a liberal elitist crowd. In fact, this requires no courage whatsoever.
I share your rage.
Pelosi has not been Catholic for years!
She IS excommunicated and most Catholics who are informed know it, but because the heirarchy has failed to proclaim it the Church is scandalized. This is much more than dissent.
It is they, the heirarchy, whose silence has now become the scandal!
Complaining against her that she is a “dissenter” makes it sound as if she were still Catholic, when she is not. Former Catholic, or protestant, would be far more accurate.
one day she can become Speaker of Hell
It was not courageous. It was a power-hungry move. We are seeing national socialism reach into every aspect of our nation. It’s the same as with the Komen organization. Listen to the outcry about that. How dare these private organizations not do what the Democrats want to be done! The Supreme Court is the last line. The GOP is meek and balless at this point. The media is the enabling liar and national court jester. Great Leader is, well, he’s Great Leader. There are only a few options remaining to turn things around. It will get worse before it gets better.
then you’re an idiot.
it is her bishop’s responsibility.
Catholic ping!
she enjoys being “catholic”.
She likes to talk about the large family.
She thinks she understands the faith better than the bishops and the pope.
what is it with many Catholic up in the north east and west coast?
On Monday to Saturday they vote for homosexuality, cross dressing, killing babies, etc and the Sunday they go to church and then tell people every day they are Catholic.
Pelosi and many others , millions infact are a disgrace to the religion.
Time fort that Pope to get over ehre and give it to the likes of Pelosi straight along with those up in PA, MA, NH, CT, NY, NJ, RI, ME, VT, DE, MD, DC, CA, WA,
