Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi misled participants last week at the White House health care summit when she said the Senate health care bill doesn't fund abortions. Now, comments from a late Friday press conference are surfacing where Pelosi exploits the Catholic bishops to justify her claim.

As LifeNews.com reported last week, Pelosi covered up the clear abortion funding and other pro-abortion problems found in the Senate legislation.

"The law of the land is there is no public funding of abortion and there is no public funding of abortion in these bills and I don't want our listeners or viewers to get the wrong impression from what you said," Pelosi asserted.

Following up on the health care summit comments, a transcript provided to LifeNews.com by the Family Research Council shows a reporter asked Pelosi on Friday whether she thought pro-life Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak was wrong in his assessment that the Senate bill funds abortions. the rest

No sooner did we hear in the State of the Union Address about the need to focus on jobs, jobs, jobs, than we found ourselves back on health care.
