JimLur .. So she misspoke, as her office told PolitiFact, Pelosi's overriding point was clear .. excerpt ..
We can eliminate any reader suspense by sharing the response Pelosi’s office sent PolitiFact after we inquired: "She misspoke," spokesman Drew Hammill acknowledged. "Obviously the impact of the court’s decision is not to make these four contraceptive methods illegal – i.e. no longer allowed to be sold."
Hammill went on to explain that Pelosi’s "overriding point" was that the decision "does in fact limit access … which is the key point Pelosi made." He pointed to portions of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dissent in which Ginsburg notes that IUDs are expensive and that removing company support for them could leave some female employees without the "most effective" medical option for their needs.
Indeed, one of Pelosi’s later comments from the news conference -- when she focused on the issue of who pays for contraceptives, rather than whether they remain legal -- seems to be on firmer ground. She expressed concern "that five men could get down to specifics of whether a woman should use a diaphragm and (whether) she should pay for it herself, or her boss. It's not her boss' business. The business is whatever his business is, but it's not what contraception she uses."
