Pelosi on Candidate Gibbs’ Comment on the 19th Amendment: ‘I Hear Something Like That Everyday’

TRANSCRIPT:

PELOSI: “I thought he said that passage of the 19th Amendment is what made us a totalitarian state when women had the right to vote. Didn’t he say something like that too? And didn’t he — and didn’t he also hope to be part of the movement to repeal the 19th Amendment for women to have the right to vote? What do I think of that? I think I hear something like that every day around here. When people say that women shouldn’t be able to make their choices about contraception or their own reproductive health, that’s a sign of disrespect for women. What he’s saying is outrageous. I don’t think many members here would subscribe to that.”
