Pelosi says Supreme Court "slapped women in the face" with draft opinion in abortion case

Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday harshly criticized the Supreme Court for a draft opinion indicating a majority of justices may overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established the right to an abortion, saying it "slapped women in the face" by undermining their ability to make decisions about their families.

"This is about something so serious and so personal and so disrespectful of women," Pelosi said in an interview with "Face the Nation." "Here we are on Mother's Day, a week where the court has slapped women in the face in terms of disrespect for their judgments about the size and timing of their families."
