Nancy Pelosi defended women's reproductive rights today on a conference call with reporters.

"They're advancing extreme legislation. "It's dangerous to women's health, disrespects the judgment of American women, I don't know if they even gave that a thought and it's the most comprehensive and radical assault on women's health in our lifetime. It's that bad."

The Republicans recently proposed legislation (H.R. 358) that doesn't allow federal money to be used when paying for abortions even if it would save their lives. The bill hasn't come up for a vote yet, but I'm sure there will be a big fight.
