“I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the Church have not been able to make that definition,” Nancy Pelosi told Tom Brokaw.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly states that “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.” It also says, “Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable.”
Evidently, Senator Joe Biden shares Speaker Pelosi’s confusion on the abortion issue, if the response of the National Abortion Rights Action League is any measure.
“Sen. Biden has consistently expressed support for a woman’s right to choose. While we have not agreed with him on every vote, we have a longstanding relationship with Sen. Biden that is open, positive, and constructive, and we are confident this will continue in a new administration under Sen. Obama’s pro-choice leadership,” NARAL President Nancy Keenan said in a statement.
Add that to Senator Obama’s confusion on the Born Alive Protection Act and you have one confused ticket.
