Denying the truth about abortion

Published January 22, 2016 5:03am ET



Mark Twain famously said “denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.” Apparently, it is the only strategy left to the pro-abortion movement 43 years after Roe v. Wade made abortion on demand the law of the land.

The extent of the denial is breathtaking. Last week House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi — who has a perfect pro-abortion voting record, including a vote in favor of partial-birth abortion — told Roll Call’s Melinda Henneberger that abortion on demand is something she “doesn’t believe in.” She also claims that Roe v. Wade did not legalize abortion on demand. Perhaps on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision today, she should take a moment to refresh her failing memory.
