Pelosi disses Catholics for "this conscience thing"

The Washington Post's Lifestyle section caught up with Democrat minority leader Nancy Pelosi for an interview published today.
When questioned about Catholics who have asked to have conscience clause protections honored that would allow them to refuse personally performing abortions, she had this to say:
"'I'm a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it .?.?. but they have this conscience thing' that [Pelosi] insists put women at physical risk..."
Simply astonishing. The woman who absolutely demands that she has a right to follow her conscience when it disagrees with the Church is happy to force other people to violate their conscience when their conscience disagrees with hers.
You couldn't formulate a more perfect example of hypocrisy if you tried.
But wait, it gets worse. This comment of hers was in the context of her defending her claim that allowing Catholics to opt-out of personally performing abortions would mean "letting women die on the floor." She called Republican efforts to safeguard the pro-life consciences of health care providers "savage." And she denied that such language was "too far."

How can she possibly call herself a devout Catholic who honors her faith and still be pro-choice? And if she is so pro-choice, then why fight against the medical professionals who "choose" not to perform these procedures?
