Pelosi: morality of abortion a "regional" issue

"Pelosi Says Her Church Has Not Denied Her Communion For Supporting Abortion Rights" (Medical News Today, August 5, 2008).

Interviewed on C-SPAN on Sunday (August 5, 2008) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked about other pro-abortion politicians like Senator John Kerry and Mayor Rudy Giuliani who have come under fire for being pro-abortion Catholics.

Pelosi said the Catholic officials in San Francisco, where her House district is located, have not given her flack for strongly supporting abortion.

"'I think some of it is regional' she said. 'It depends on the bishop of a certain region and fortunately for me, communion has not been withheld and I'm a regular communicant and so that would be a severe blow to me if that were the case.'"
