Nancy Pelosi Calls Late-Term Abortions “Sacred Ground”House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi put her foot in her mouth again today during a press conference, calling the battle to keep late-term abortions legal sacred ground.
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said about efforts to stop late-term abortions. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/13/nancy-pelosi-calls-late-term-abortions-sacred-ground/
Abortion Doctor Compares Killing 27-Week-Old Baby to Flu ShotA new undercover video shows a New Mexico-based abortion practitioner telling a woman considering an abortion that killing a 27-week old baby is no different than getting a flu shot.

Boehner: No Apologies for Pushing 20-Week Abortion Ban, Gosnell Made It NecessarySpeaker John Boehner has been on the receiving end of attacks from Democrats about how he and Republicans in the U.S. House would push a bill that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
During his press conference today, Boehner fielded a media question about pushing a vote next week on the House floor for the 20-week abortion ban and made no apologizes for it. In fact, Boehner said the measure is necessary given the brutal abortion-infanticides that took place at Kermit Gosnell’s abortion facility. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/13/boehner-no-apologies-for-pushing-20-week-abortion-ban-gosnell-made-it-necessary/
