During Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s legislative briefing this week, the Minority Leader took issue with Catholic bishops for protesting a mandate proposed by the HHS for health insurance companies to cover contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortifactants.
“As a mother of five children in six years, as a devout Catholic, I have great respect for our bishops when they are my pastor. As lobbyists in Washington, D.C., we have some areas of disagreement.” Pelosi replied, to a question asked by CNS News reporter.
