Pelosi: ‘We’ve Seen Further Assaults on Democracy…a Supreme Court Poised to Erase a Women’s Right to Decide’

(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) delivered the commencement address at Brown University on Saturday and told the students there that if the Supreme Court were to “erase a woman’s right to decide” to abort her unborn child it would amount to one of a series of recent “assaults on democracy.”

“Indeed, our own nation is no stranger to dark and anti-democratic forces,” Pelosi told the students graduating from Brown.

“On January 6, 2021, an unprecedented insurrection unleashed unimaginable violence on the grounds and the halls of the Capitol,” she said. “A strike at the heart of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power.

“In the months since the insurrection,” Pelosi said, “we’ve seen further assaults on democracy: shameful campaigns of voter suppression and election nullification; a Supreme Court poised to erase a woman’s right to decide and threatening even more privacy rights, including marriage equality.

“We can’t let that happen,” Pelosi said.

On May 20, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone sent a notification to Pelosi telling her she was not to receive Holy Communion until she publically repudiated her pro-abortion position and confessed.

“I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,” Cordileone said in the notification.
