"It's a slap in the face to women about using their own judgement to make their own decisions about their reproductive freedom," she said, while also saying the Supreme Court is "criminalizing" abortion.

"It's all on the ballot in November," Pelosi said, describing the high court as the "Trumpian Supreme Court."
