House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday she supports Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., and his bid for re-election, even as other Democrats have said they oppose him because he opposes legal abortion.

“Yes, I do,” Pelosi told reporters at the end of her weekly press conference Thursday when asked if she supports him.
