Nancy Pelosi: Abortion ‘Is a Democracy Issue, It’s a Kitchen Table Issue for Families’

‘It’s about respect for women’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “It’s a democracy issue. It’s a kitchen table issue for families, to make their decisions about this. It’s about respect for women. Oh my gosh, respect for women. So, it’s a big deal. You have seen every election has been won. Now, I don’t know what will happen in Florida because I — I didn’t question the integrity of Florida’s elections, much less whether it can work there. But people in Florida are revved up about it. It will be a big issue in the campaign. And let me say, when we won in ’18, people said, 'Oh, weren’t you lucky that health care was such an important issue in the campaign?' I said we weren’t lucky. We made our own luck. We had 10,000 events pointing out what the Affordable Care Act did, and similarly for this. People are organized. You would be — I am very encouraged to hear what women are doing around the country, even in red states, about this issue. So, there is a drumbeat. We may not win, you know, not win an election, say, in certain red states when abortion is not on the ballot, but it causes a drumbeat across the country and it helps in other elections."
