You may have read that the latest iteration of the Gospel According to Nancy Pelosi has proclaimed it sinful to oppose abortion. In the same “Women’s Equality Day” speech where she celebrates that her daughter and 13-year-old granddaughter (holding a “Women’s Equality” banner) are in the audience, she says:
And I’ll just say this: yesterday, I was at something in Los Angeles and a mom told me that – listening to all of this going on – her three-year-old daughter – the mother said something about, one time, she would go to bed, and she said, ‘Mom, nobody should tell girls what to do with their bodies.’
[Laughter]
Three years old. So, it’s coming through. It’s coming through. A whole other generation. Hopefully the boys, little boys are hearing that as well.
Three years old? Letting children keep some semblance of innocence is enough of a struggle for parents today. Three years old? I trust it is only the most radical among us who want little children thinking about abortion.
Kathy Hochul in New York has done something similar, talking about her infant granddaughter’s right to choose abortion.
There’s something so askew in our culture and politics when grandmothers are talking to us about their granddaughters’ abortions. Do they look at the little ones and thank God their daughters didn’t exercise their supposed right to “health care” and “freedom” and end the lives of their granddaughters? Or is that actually just for poor black women? Part of Pelosi’s “sinful” language was about poor black women. How about we help them be the mothers they already are? We need real leaders to inspire some unity on that kind of common ground for people of good will. I have to believe there are more of them than politics and the media reflect. I meet them often — just not at political rallies or abortion-fests.
