Nancy Pelosi Celebrates Abortion, Wants Democrats to Promote Abortions Even More
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi urged Democrat candidates to keep promoting abortion in an interview Saturday on MSNBC, claiming their support for killing unborn babies is a winning issue with voters.
Speaking with host Jen Psaki, the former U.S. House Speaker said Democrats did not lose as badly in 2022 because of their pro-abortion position, and she believes they can win in 2024 by continuing to promote abortion on demand, Fox News reports.
But a new Gallup poll shows most Americans do not support the Democratic Party’s pro-abortion platform.
Pelosi gave the interview as the United States recognized the first anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned Roe v. Wade and began allowing Americans to enact protections for unborn babies again.
Currently, 15 states protect unborn babies from elective abortions and more are fighting in court to do the same. Researchers estimate tens of thousands of unborn babies have been saved in the past year.

Pelosi did not acknowledge the life-saving effects of the ruling. Instead, she criticized the Supreme Court, claiming the justices took away an important “freedom” from women through Dobbs.
“Our country has always been about expanding freedom. Until now, this court, ignoring its own precedent and the right of privacy in the Constitution,” the California lawmaker said. “So we have to reverse that. And Congress has the right to do that one way or another.”
Pelosi said she believes Democrats’ abortion position is a winning issue with voters, and candidates should make it a key focus of 2024.
“Everybody said we’re going to lose 30, 40 seats,” she said of the 2022 elections. “… we lost five.”
Asked about former President Donald Trump taking credit for the overturning of Roe, Pelosi agreed that the issue is “something Democrats should be hanging around his neck more,” according to Townhall.
“It’s a hypocrisy of the first order. But without going into his, shall we say, inconsistencies, to use a gentler word, yeah, that’s what he’s saying. And I think that has clarity,” Pelosi said.
But polls consistently show most Americans oppose Pelosi’s extreme pro-abortion agenda. The Democratic Party supports unregulated abortion on demand, paid for by the taxpayers.
A new Gallup poll, however, shows Americans only want abortions to be legal in a few circumstances or not at all. According to the June poll, “Specifically, close to half of Americans, 47%, now say abortion should be legal in all (34%) or most (13%) circumstances, while a similar proportion, 49%, want it legal in only a few (36%) or illegal in all (13%) circumstances.”
The poll is consistent with others through the years. Last week, LifeNews highlighted 27 recent polls that show Americans are pro-life on abortion. Most show 50 to 60 percent of Americans want all or most abortions to be illegal.
