WASHINGTON, D.C.(LifeSiteNews) — The Speaker of the House was not pleased by the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“There’s no point in saying good morning, because it certainly is not one,” said Nancy Pelosi today as an introduction to her response to the Supreme Court decision.

In a statement following the Supreme Court’s announcement, a clearly disgusted Pelosi thoroughly condemned the Justices who concurred on the decision. She did not address any of the constitution-based written reasoning for the decision.
Pelosi claimed, “This morning, the radical Supreme Court is eviscerating Americans’ rights and endangering their health and safety.”
She continued that the concurring justices “achieved their dark, extreme goal of ripping away a woman’s right to make their own reproductive health decisions” and that what it “means to women is such an insult.”
In contrast, pro-life women like former Planned Parenthood employee Abby Johnson acknowledged the millions of American women who have for decades worked for this decision and are now celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade as “a win for women” as well as a “win for children.”
This is a win for women! This is a win for children! Babies lives matter and they always will.

At least 135 U.S. teachers and teachers’ aides have already been arrested in 2022 for child-related sex crimes, ranging from child porn possession to rape, and these are only the cases reported by the media.
And, while the vast majority of teachers are upstanding citizens, we also know some are indoctrinating our children with the LGBT ideology and practices to "make an ally of them" at a wholly inappropriate age.
This is not acceptable, and must be stopped now.
SIGN: Congress must ban federal funding for schools promoting sex or LGBT ideologies among children.
With Governor Ron DeSantis already taking action in Florida, banning instruction on sexuality and gender identity by teachers among third graders and younger, it's now time to see a federal push to effectively end such meddling in the minds of our children.
Parents have a responsibility to defend their children from those who overstep boundaries, whether that's in the form of LGBT propaganda, pornography, or other forms of sexualization in schools.
Too often the media downplays what's at stake: nothing less than the innocence of our children, and sometimes even their very lives, as this grieving Mom explained in March.
SIGN and SHARE: Congress must ban federal funding for schools who attempt to sexualize children.
76% of the arrests of teachers and aides for child-related sex-crimes this year involved assaults on students.
Jonathan van Maren reports that while one California teacher was charged with aggravated assault of a child, another was charged with 29 counts of child molestation.
A North Carolina science teacher was charged with 27 counts of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and 28 counts of “indecent liberties with a student.”
Parents need to construct every possible barrier to more children being abused, and one important way is to stop groomers and potential groomers from discussing sex with children in the classroom.
It is a violation of trust to introduce someone else's precious child to the minefield of sexuality, and it breaks down inhibitions that are meant to protect our most vulnerable young people.
SIGN TODAY: Pull federal funding from any school that sexualizes children
We already know that drag queens, some of whom admit to grooming, have no place in the classroom, and that teaching children about gender identities and sexual preferences is wholly inappropriate, but it's beyond time we took action.
Thank you for signing the petition today.

Throughout her reaction, Pelosi blamed the decision on conservative politicians, including Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. She claimed that it was their actions, along with the Republican majority in the Supreme Court, which led “American women today” to “have less freedom than their mothers”.
Despite her clear disagreement with the ruling, Pelosi acknowledged that the decision today marks a historical moment. It is the first time that the country has granted a constitutional right and later rescinded the original ruling.
Pelosi is already pointing towards the future elections as a chance to reinstate abortion access on a national level.
“Women’s right to choose, reproductive freedom, is on the ballot for November,” she said. “While Republicans seek to punish and control women, Democrats will continue to fight ferociously to enshrine Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.”
Pelosi warned listeners that Republicans are “plotting a nationwide abortion ban” and promised again that this would be the primary issue brought up in the November elections.
Nancy Pelosi describes herself as a Catholic despite her pro-abortion advocacy, which is in direct opposition to the teachings of the Catholic Church about the sacredness of human life. In May, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco announced that the Speaker of the House should not receive Holy Communion, which is forbidden to those in a state of grave sin, until she repents of her pro-abortion stance. Pelosi soon snubbed the archbishop by receiving Holy Communion in Washington, D.C.
