At a press conference yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) gave a lecture on sex education while lecturing the conservative Supreme Court justices.
“Sometimes I think they need a session in birds and the bees… for some of the kinds of statements that they make,” Pelosi lectured.
The lecture came while Pelosi was discussing their potential ruling in the Mississippi abortion ban case.
“I say that as a mother of five, six years and one week, five children. Aas I say to my colleagues when you have five children in six years and one week, we can discuss this issue,” Pelosi explained.
Of course, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has seven children of her own, so that would seem to be more pointed at the conservative men.
Pelosi continued, “That was great for me, that’s not necessarily great for other people and it shouldn’t be up to any of us to decide what a woman and her family and her husband and her partner decides is right for them and their family and their future childbearing possibilities.”
“So… it’s scary and I say that as a practicing Catholic again, it shouldn’t be a political issue,” Pelosi concluded in a clip shared by The Recount.
“I think they need a session in birds and the bees … It’s really scary.”

As the New York Post noted that Pelosi has often framed her views on abortion in the context of her Catholic faith and did so again when discussing the situation.
“This shouldn’t even be a political issue. Look at Ireland, is there a more Catholic country? Look at Ireland and how they passed legislation respecting, respecting women,” Pelosi insisted.
At the beginning of September, we reported that Pelosi vowed to codify Roe v. Wade in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that upheld a ban on abortions after six weeks in Texas.
Towards the end of the press conference, however, Pelosi admitted at the time that she doesn’t like to use the word “abortion” and also referenced Ireland.
