http://www.lifenews.com/picdemocrat.jpgWashington, DC (LifeNews.com) – Nancy Pelosi, who is expected to become the first female Speaker of the House when Democrats take over, has backed an anti-abortion Democrat for the party’s number two leadership post. However, the endorsement has more to do with returning a favor than a change on abortion policy. In a letter made public late Sunday night, Pelosi backed Pennsylvania Rep. Jack Murtha, a longtime ally, for Majority Leader. Pelosi endorsed Murtha over current Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, a pro-abortion Maryland congressman who currently holds the number two position in the party. “Your presence in the leadership of our party would add a knowledgeable and respected voice to our Democratic team,” Pelosi wrote in her letter to Murtha. Hoyer is said by political observers to be the favorite for the post, but Pelosi backed Murtha because of his vocal stance on Iraq and his support for her position in party leadership, rather than because of his opposition to abortion. In 2001, Pelosi ran against Hoyer for the Minority Whip position and Murtha managed her campaign to persuade colleagues to support her. He supported her again when she ran for the Democratic leader post in 2002 after Minority Leader Dick Gehpardt stepped down. After Pelosi moved up to Minority Leader, Hoyer won election as Minority Whip and the two have had a tenuous working relationship ever since.
