<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) described herself as both a &#8220;devout&#8221; and &#8220;practicing&#8221; Catholic as she defended abortion during remarks made Tuesday.</p>
<p>The California Democrat sat down with Mark K. Updegrove, president and CEO of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library, for an event during Women&#8217;s History Month on Tuesday where she discussed the importance of upholding <em>Roe v. Wade</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a devout Catholic, mother of five children in six years and one week,&#8221; Pelosi said, adding that she tells pro-lifers, &#8220;When you have five children in six years, then we will talk about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That was right for me, it&#8217;s not for me to say whats for somebody else,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;Nor is it right for you, nor is it right for the Supreme Court. This has been a precedent of the court that should be upheld by the court.&#8221;</p>
<p>The California Democrat said that she respects people&#8217;s opinions about how they see the law in their personal lives, but then criticized pro-life Americans as &#8220;people who don&#8217;t believe in governance.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t believe in government protecting the environment, they don&#8217;t believe in the government protecting people&#8217;s voting rights, but they&#8217;re really big-time government in your bedroom,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s a woman&#8217;s right to choose, LGBTQ, whatever it is. All of a sudden, there they are.&#8221;</p>
<p>The abortion issue &#8220;isn&#8217;t about what is your religious belief,&#8221; Pelosi said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This really gets me burned up, in case you didn’t notice, because, again, I’m very Catholic – devout, practicing, all of that,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;They would like to throw me out, but I’m not going,&#8221; she joked, &#8220;because I don’t want to make their day.&#8221;</p>

<p>Pelosi has been repeatedly criticized in the past for touting her Catholicism in connection to her pro-abortion stances, though Catholic doctrine <a href="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a5.htm">teaches</a> that abortion is &#8220;a crime against human life.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a May 2021 <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/05/11/archbishop-cordileone-nancy-pelosi-catholic-communion-biden/">interview</a> with The Daily Caller News Foundation, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone shared that he has had “conversations” with Pelosi about abstaining from receiving Holy Communion at mass as a pro-abortion Catholic.</p>

<p>&quot;It&#39;s not possible to be a Catholic with a properly formed conscious in good standing and favor an evil such as abortion.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/EuKiQXDutl">pic.twitter.com/EuKiQXDutl</a></p>

<p>“She knows that I stand by Church teaching, and I know she’s respectful enough not to do anything so provocative,” the archbishop said.</p>
<p>“You cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings. The answer to crisis pregnancies is not violence but love, for both mother and child,” <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/09/06/archbishop-cordileone-biden-pelosi-abortion/">Cordileone said</a> on another occasion.</p>
<p>Discussing whether Catholic priests have ever given her any &#8220;difficulties&#8221; about receiving communion, Pelosi described herself in 2018 as a “regular communicant.”</p>
<div>
<div data-qa="drop-cap-letter">
<p class="font--body font-copy gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md " data-el="text">“I think some of it is regional,” she <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/05/02/pelosi-archbishop-communion/">said in a 2018 interview</a>. “It depends on the bishop in a certain region. Fortunately, for me it has not — Communion has not been withheld and I’m a regular communicant so that would be a severe blow to me if that were the case.”</p>
<p data-el="text">Pelosi&#8217;s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.</p>
<p data-el="text">President Joe Biden has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/catholic-vote-accuses-biden-of-touting-his-faith-while-promoting-pro-death-policies?fbclid=IwAR08cU9dGGB-s1zbV8Svos-3Cn3xzzh96uro-5LbPsToLN7aP0aiX5m-tBA">been repeatedly criticized</a> for embracing abortion as a Catholic. Media, lawmakers, and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/30/devout-catholic-joe-biden-media-amy-coney-barrett/">describe</a> him as a “devout Catholic” when discussing his abortion stances without noting his divergence from Catholic teaching.</p>
<p>Though he has frequently referenced his Catholic faith throughout his political career, Biden heads a pro-abortion administration in which radical legislation, like the Equality Act and the Women’s Health Protection Act, is championed. He has also called for <em>Roe v. Wade</em>, the monumental Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, to be enshrined into law.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">REPORTER: &quot;As a Catholic, why do you support abortion?&quot;</p>
