Nancy Pelosi: "My Family is Very Pro-Life"

From Newsweek:
God has given us a free will. We’re all responsible for our actions. If you don’t want an abortion, you don’t believe in it, [then] don’t have one. But don’t tell somebody else what they can do in terms of honoring their responsibilities. [ED: If you don't like slavery, then don't own slaves. But don't try to tell somebody else what property they can and can't own in honoring their financial responsibilities.] My family is very pro-life. They’re not fanatics and they’re not activists. I think they’d like it if I were not so vocally pro-choice.
(emphasis and editorial commentary added)

My Comments:
"But don’t tell somebody else what they can do in terms of honoring their responsibilities."

Excuse me while I experience a little cognitive dissonance as future Speaker Pelosi identifies having an abortion with "honoring one's responsibilities".

If you don't like substance abuse, then don't do drugs. But, please keep your opinions to your self, and stop belittling drug addicts.

If you don't like poverty, then don't be poor. But, please keep your work ethic to yourself, rather than making the poor feel bad about themselves.

If you don't like hipocrisy, then live your values. But don't deride those who say that they're faithful Catholics, yet show complete disregard for inconvenient bits of Catholic teaching.
