PELOSI GETS AN “F” IN RELIGION

By |2017-03-20T17:54:20-04:00October 24th, 2008|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would have us believe that the Catholic Church was not always opposed to abortion. And she says this while admitting that she has studied the subject for a long time.
