Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco on Monday addressed the week of action that Democrats are taking in Washington, including a push to protect the right to contraception, which she said is an issue of personal and financial freedom.

She pointed out the disconnect for lawmakers opposing abortion and not supporting contraception.
