Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the top pro-abortion Catholics in elected office in the United States, will meet with Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday during a week-long trip to Italy. The meeting will likely occur after the pope's weekly general audience.

Pelosi describes herself as an "ardent" Catholic but the San Francisco-based congresswoman has taken a consistent pro-abortion stance in defiance of Catholic pro-life teachings.

She has a long-time pro-abortion voting record, according to the National Right to Life Committee, and has repeatedly voted against a ban on partial-birth abortions and against efforts to stop direct taxpayer funding of abortions. the rest
