House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tried to brush off questions about Planned Parenthood funding during her Thursday press briefing. But when a male reporter continued by asking her “what species” a human fetus is, Pelosi decided to acknowledge his grandstanding.
“I don’t know who you are, and you’re welcome to be here, freedom of this press. I am a devout, practicing Catholic, a mother of five children,” Pelosi said. “When my baby was born — my fifth child — my oldest child was 6 years old. I think I know more about this subject than you, with all due respect. And I do not intend to respond to your questions, which have no basis in what public policy is that we do here.”

That’s it. No semantic B.S. attempting to inject theology into lawmaking. Take it outside, cause Mom sees you coming from a mile away.
She’s from San Francisco where all the women are strong, the men are good looking and the children are above average. Tip of the hat to Garrison Keillor
Species? h. Sapiens I think. Not sure about the reporter though…
Maybe this was just a test? A harder question would have been what suborder a fetus is.
Smack and down, I love this woman.
