Nancy Pelosi Supports Anti-Abortion Candidate, Despite Roe v. Wade Outcry

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is supporting an anti-abortion candidate who is set to face a tough primary runoff election on May 24 against a Democratic rival who has touted her pro-abortion stance.

Pelosi is backing Representative Henry Cuellar for the Democratic nomination in Texas' 28th congressional district, despite the fact he is the last anti-abortion Democrat in the House of Representatives.

That support comes amid the outcry about a leaked Supreme Court majority opinion on May 2 that appeared to show five of the nine justices are poised to overturn the landmark 1973 abortion decision in Roe v. Wade.
