Save the faux outrage, Nancy.
Via The Hill:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted the Republican Party for refusing to allow Washington, D.C., Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) to testify at a hearing about federal funding for abortion.
“America’s women deserve better than eight Republican men trying to dictate and control the most intimate medical decisions in their lives,” she Pelosi asserted to the Judiciary Committee’s subpanel on the Constitution and Civil Justice.
“It’s no wonder that House Republicans have to keep taking lessons on how to talk to women,” Pelosi said in a statement. “When you have a subcommittee that is 100 percent male considering legislation restricting women’s rights and denying a woman Member of Congress, Eleanor Holmes Norton, the ability to testify on that legislation, it’s pretty clear those lessons aren’t taking.”
The hearing pertained to The No Tax Payer Funding for Abortion Act, which would permanently deny the use of federal funds for abortions. The bill would also extend to Washington, D.C. […]
Pelosi said the Republicans are renewing their “assault on women’s reproductive rights,” a popular refrain during the 2012 elections.
