Nancy Pelosi knows everything about everything.  Her tiff with Catholic bishops over abortion is Exhibit 1.  Even after being corrected by the bishops that Church doctrine teaches life begins at conception, theologian Pelosi refuses to back down.  Today she’s Speaker of the House, tomorrow Pope.

You can argue over what this theologian or that one says all you want, but for my money, Cardinal Eagan makes it understandable for just about anybody:

“We are blessed in the 21st century with crystal-clear photographs and action films of the living realities within their pregnant mothers,” he continued. “No one with the slightest measure of integrity or honor could fail to know what these marvelous beings manifestly, clearly, and obviously are, as they smile and wave into the world outside the womb.”

Anybody who has seen an ultrasound should know that it’s a child and not a choice.  When I saw my daughter through the ultrasound, there was no doubt in my mind that I was looking at a little person and not a lifeless mass of tissue.
