A pro-life group called on California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi to "exercise your duties as a public servant and a Catholic, or have the honesty to formally renounce them," in a widely-circulated open letter Wednesday.
"Public servants are supposed to be able to tell the difference between serving the public and killing the public. Apparently, you can't," wrote national director of Priests for Life Father Frank Pavone. "Otherwise, you would have been able to explain the difference between a legal medical procedure that kills a baby inside the womb and an act of murder."
Pavone's letter was written in response to the Minority Leader's argument with a reporter — The Weekly Standard asked Pelosi to clarify her position on abortion in the wake of the Kermit Gosnell case during a press conference Thursday.
"What is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth?" the reporter asked.
Pelosi dismissed the question and equated Gosnell's crimes with pro-life activists' condemnation of abortion.
