VIDEO: Nancy Pelosi refuses to answer whether unborn baby at 15 weeks is a ‘human being,’ coldly affirms support for Roe v. Wade

News & Politics

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refused to answer a pointed question about whether a 15-week-old unborn baby is a human being while speaking to reporters Thursday in Washington, D.C.

What happened?

During a press briefing on Capitol Hill, a reporter cited a forthcoming Supreme Court case set to consider a state ban on abortions after 15 weeks to press the House speaker on her views surrounding the pivotal issue.

“Is an unborn baby at 15 weeks a human being?” the reporter, Julia Johnson from CNS News, bluntly asked.

Pelosi, who like President Joe Biden is an abortion-supporting Catholic, took a deep breath and paused before answering the question as if weighing the consequences of answering one way or another — then she pivoted.

“Let me just say that I am a big supporter of Roe v. Wade,” she responded, altogether dodging the question. “I am a mother of five children in six years. I think I have some standing on this issue as to respecting a woman’s right to choose.”

“Is it a human being?” Johnson reiterated.

But Pelosi ignored Johnson and moved on to field questions from another reporter.

Why does it matter?

The case Johnson referred to is Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and it involves a law passed in Mississippi in 2018 that prohibits abortions after 15 weeks, with a few exceptions.

The law has been locked up in the court system since its passage, most recently being blocked by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In its ruling, the appeals court cited Supreme Court precedent which prevents states from banning abortions prior to fetal viability, or the time at which a baby is able to survive outside the womb.

But the Supreme Court is now set to review that issue, and many believe that the newly conservative-leaning court may produce a major rollback of legal precedents surrounding the court’s controversial enshrinement of a woman’s right to an abortion.

Pelosi’s unwillingness to answer one way or another demonstrates the problematic position pro-choice proponents find themselves in lately.

Should Pelosi answer “no” to the question, she may be proven wrong later as science progresses to show just how advanced unborn babies are. Fetal heartbeats can be regularly detected as early as six weeks into pregnancy. If she answers “yes,” then she has to argue against what pro-life advocates have claimed for decades — that abortion is akin to murder.

Instead, it is politically advantageous for the speaker to ignore the question, especially as congressional Democrats reintroduce a radical bill that would nix nearly all state-level restrictions on abortion, including late-term abortions.

  1. Scores of evidence have been coming out, since long before this crisis began, regarding the world oligarchy’s dehumanizing agenda of global depopulation and domination. They’ve been talking about it at the World Economic Forum for years.

    Even Lincoln knew we could face a terrible crisis one day, at the behest of a maniacal Corporate construct…

    “The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow and the money-power of the country will endeavor to per-long its reign, by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.”—Abraham Lincoln

    Fast forward to today, and Big Corporations are now dominating every aspect of our waking lives, with little to no regard for an individual citizen’s liberties, freedom nor well-being.

    Big Pharma itself, is the most profitable industry in the entire world and they’ve also been the biggest damn lobby in Washington ever since their inception onto the world scene. And we certainly have the Rockefeller’s and Rothschild’s to thank for that, now don’t we?!!

    Many thousands have been dropping like flies from these horrific experimental injections being pushed by Big Pharma, all while the blame game continues, as the corrupt government talking-heads pass the proverbial buck, from one schmuck to the next schmuck!

    The Red Flags and [ False Flags ] are all around us now and are too loud to ignore. The cat has definitely been let out of the bag!–There’s just no denying it any more!

    Lincoln certainly warned us back then, but he also gave us the remedy and way out…

    “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”—Abraham Lincoln

    The time has come, to stand up against this evil tyranny, lest we’re made to endure suffering, the likes of which our modern day world has never seen before, if we even survive it!

    The fascist elite may be planning this so-called, Great Reset, but one thing they’ve completely underestimated is the Power of the Great Push Back! — by, “We the People!”

    The blockage of the Suez Canal and subsequent, yet covert seizure of extremely dangerous bio-weapon technology aboard the Evergreen shipping container, back on March 23rd of this year, was the first monkey wrench thrown into the plans of the world elite.

    A small victory for the existing National Sovereignty’s—Yes! — However, we would be naive to think the Oligarchy of the world doesn’t already have contingency plans in place to keep sparking new crises’ in their brazen attempt to accomplish their despicable, utterly disgusting, dehumanizing agenda.

    Already these New World Order Fascist creeps are pushing frivilous Climate Change policies, with governments all across the globe, which, if fully enacted, would usher in a brand new era of extreme authoriatarian rule over the lives of every last citizen.

    My fellow Patriots, the writing is on the wall! —

    Our true enemies engines are fast approaching full throttle!

    The time for recompense is NOW!

    Let us not pass up what may be our one and only oppurtunity to vindicate the blood of all those whom valiantly sacrificed their lives for the sake of our great Constitutional Republic and it’s solemn promise of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! —

    “…For which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all!
