Chip Roy made Nancy Pelosi’s nightmare come true with this stunning move
Texas Republican Chip Roy is a staunch conservative who doesn’t pull any punches. He’s finally zeroed in on Pelosi.
And Chip Roy made Nancy Pelosi’s nightmare come true with this stunning move.
Nancy Pelosi, a supposedly “devout Catholic,” has spent a large portion of her career fighting against her own religion.
Nowhere is that more clear than on the issue of abortion.
She has been adamant that abortion is a borderline sacred right for all women in America.
20 states have banned or severely restricted most abortions, while many more states have put reproductive rights on the chopping block.
These extremists will not rest until they enact a nationwide abortion ban.

This despite the fact that her own Church says that anyone who helps a woman procure an abortion is automatically excommunicated.
For her, everything must bow to the Left’s agenda. Religion, speech, and everything in between.
And she’s losing her mind thanks to Chip Roy and the Republicans latest move against the slaughter.
Congressman Chip Roy, R-TX, has sponsored legislation to repeal the contentious Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The FACE Act has been utilized by the Biden administration to excuse the arrests of several pro-life activists and protestors.
While some, like Mark Houck, were later acquitted, others, like Lauren Handy and her four co-defendants, were found guilty and face lengthy prison sentences.
“Free Americans should never live in fear of their government targeting them because of their beliefs,” Roy told The Daily Signal after introducing the bill.
“Yet, Biden’s Department of Justice has brazenly weaponized the FACE Act against normal, everyday Americans across the political spectrum, simply because they are pro-life.”
The United States Constitution, according to Roy, “separates power between the federal government and the states for a reason, and we ignore that safeguard at our peril.” The FACE Act, according to Roy, is “an unconstitutional federal takeover of state police powers” and “must be repealed.”
In 1994, then-President Bill Clinton signed the FACE Act into law.
The Senate version of the bill was proposed by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-MA, a self-described Catholic who has been fiercely pro-abortion since the mid-1970s.
Rep. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, who is now the Senate Majority Leader, sponsored the House version of the bill.
The law was intended to protect “both abortion clinics and pro-life pregnancy centers,” according to The Signal, but “the [Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ)] has widely used it to charge pro-life activists with FACE violations since the Supreme Court’s June 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade.”
“Roy also led an effort to defund enforcement of the FACE Act in April 2023, but the proposal largely died when it was not included in the House Appropriations subcommittee draft,” The Signal added.
