Joe Biden Gives National Award to Nancy Pelosi, Who Refused to Stop Infanticide 80 Times
If there’s any politician who deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom the least, it would be Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi is a radical abortion activist who has pushed abortions up to birth for decades. She’s trashed pro-life Americans repeatedly, refused to acknowledge the humanity of unborn children, and did her level best to push taxpayer funded abortions on Americans time and time again.
But perhaps the worst thing Pelosi has ever done is deny a vote on a bill to stop infanticide and protect babies who survive abortions.
Not only did she block a vote on one of the most common sense bills Congress could ever vote on, she blocked a vote 80 different times. Over and over again, day after day, Republicans a few years ago requested a vote on a bill to protect babies from infanticide. But day after day Pelosi, when she was Speaker of the House, refused to allow a vote.
That didn’t stop Biden from giving her Americas highest civilian award.
“The Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian award — we the people doing what we can to ensure the idea of America, the cause of freedom, shines like the sun to light up the future of the world,” Biden said of the medal in a video promoting the award to Pelosi.

Rep. Ann Wagner condemned Pelosi’s actions at the time.
“Pelosi directed House Democrats to block one specific piece of legislation over and over. Democrats designated one person to stand up and object, every single day, when Republicans tried to bring this bill to the House floor,” she said.
What legislation could possibly make Pelosi and House Democrats so afraid that they’d go out of their way to avoid even voting on it—after blocking it more than 80 times in total?
The answer is both surprising and distressing: The bill was the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The Born-Alive Act simply says that a baby who survives an abortion deserves the same degree of medical care as any other newborn—it is a commonsense bill that is narrow in scope, saves lives, and addresses a real problem.
Of course, Democrats might then be forced to acknowledge that every baby is a human being. And so long as Democrats are beholden to pro-abortion radicals for funding, votes, and media cover, they will do everything in their power to prevent the Born-Alive Act from coming to the House floor for a vote or being passed into law.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom was established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. It replaced the Medal of Freedom established by President Harry S. Truman in 1945, which honored individuals who rendered significant aid to the U.S. in World War II.
It is the highest civilian award in the nation and is intended to recognize “any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”
