The Raw Story has an interview with Pelosi:
The Raw Story | Pelosi interview, part three: The media, the memo, and Iraq: "Pelosi: Well let me just tell you this first, John. The Republicans in Congress in significant numbers do not support contraception. People find that hard to believe, but I live with it every day here in terms of their votes, and their policy and their statements. And it’s a stunning thing, because if you want to reduce the number of abortions in our country, and we all do, you would say hooray for contraception. But that’s not where they’re coming from on it. And that’s why the Griswold anniversary is such an important one, because it’s not about abortion, it’s about contraception. And you see the numbers which are stunning in terms of what the American people say, so-called pro-life, I think we’re all pro-life, anti-choice and pro-choice alike when it comes to contraception. Sometimes I wonder if these people even know what’s going on in their own families, when I see that they’re willing to hold women, especially poor women in America and in the world, hostage to their radical views on contraception."
She really sounds like a leader...
I'm assuming you never get to hear her on radio or TV...
except maybe C-span, right?
Other than the president do we get to see speeches of any length given by actual elected officials anymore?
anyway, go read what Pelosi has to say, the quote is from and the link goes to page 3, but you should read the whole thing...
