Meet the New Boss (Same as the Old Boss?)

Have Democrats abandoned their efforts to rediscover the moral dimension of the abortion issue?  Consider this new interview with their leader, Nancy Pelosi:

Q:  I think the issues that brought you into politics were the environment and also choice. [You had] five children in six years, a Catholic background. . . Was embracing choice an issue with your family?

Pelosi: To me it isn’t even a question. 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. 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.

I'm not even sure where to begin.  In the world according to Pelosi, whether abortion should be legal "is not even a question."  We should not outlaw abortion because God gave us free will.  (Under that logic, could anything be prohibited by law?)  We can effectively register our moral opposition to abortion by not having one.  And honoring responsibilities is an inescapably self-defined endeavor. 

If the Democratic leadership is not going to engage in meaningful soul-searching on the abortion issue, can we at least expect some competent media training?
