"Now we have Pelosi arguing that the way to balance the budget is not by cutting expenditures, but by cutting kids."

NEW YORK (Catholic League) - Yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that it was necessary to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on family planning services in order to stimulate the economy. Pelosi maintained that “contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.”
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented as follows:
“Looks like the Democrats have abortion and contraception on the brain. Last week, President Barack Obama lifted restrictions on federal funds being used to promote and perform abortions overseas. Now we have Pelosi arguing that the way to balance the budget is not by cutting expenditures, but by cutting kids.
"Her comment matches up well with what Obama said during the presidential campaign about comprehensive sex education: speaking of his own daughters, he said that ‘if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.’ (My emphasis.)
“We have reached a new low when high-ranking public office holders in the federal government cast children as the enemy. But at least it explains their enthusiasm for abortion-on-demand.”

My favorite, and the most chilling: " See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." Mt. 18:10
You really have to pity these people.

former president Reagan said it best.
"Did you ever notice the people that support abortion---were born".
We need now more then ever for all the pro-life people,that have been quiet, to stand up and express their views. But they must do this in a respectful way because nobody will listen if they are yelling or screaming.

I've called Nancy Pelosi and other so-called Catholic politicians false Catholics. And I mean it. She should not even be allowed to call herself a Catholic. Anyone who obviously hates children as she does has no business even calling herself a Christian.
"...Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child, will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them. [Mark 10: 14 - 16 (Saint Joseph Edition of the New American Bible)]
