  • House Republicans have tried to get a vote on the floor to ban taxpayer funded abortions 37 times. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales asked Speaker Nancy Pelosi the reasons why House Democrats won’t allow a vote to take place.
    Correspondent Erik Rosales: Speaker there's a bill before the House that would prohibit taxpayer-funded abortion. It's been brought by Republicans 37 times for a vote on the House floor
    but has been blocked by Democrats. Can you explain why?
    Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Well that's in the law for Medicaid. You're talking about Medicaid, that's in
    the law. What we have in our bill is to overturn that. There's no need to have that. That is the law now.
    Erik: The reasons why to have it overturned?
    Pelosi: Because it's an issue of health of many women in America, especially those in a lower income situations and in a different state. And it is something that has been a priority for many of us for a long time. As a devout Catholic and mother of five in six years, I feel that God blessed my husband and me with our beautiful family. Five children, six years almost to the day. But it's not up to me to dictate that that's what other people should do. And it's an issue of fairness and justice for poor women in our country.
