Excommunication in Order?

I don't propose that recourse lightly, but when, according to Archbishop George Niederauer, Pelosi's archbishop in San Fran., will she have gone too far in offending common decency and flouting the Catholic Church to which she claims loyalty. From Politico:
There is “a war on women,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says, and it’s being led by her own colleagues on the other side of the aisle in Congress.

“There is actually a war on women,” the California Democrat said Thursday in Washington, taking aim at House Republicans’ efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and restrict access to abortions, among other measures.

“Abortion is one issue, but contraception and family planning and birth control are opposed by this crowd too,” the first female speaker of the House said of Republicans at the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Women, Money and Power Summit, CNN reported.

She is portraying those who are attempting to protect unborn children, and the essential, unitive component of marriage, as the legislative equivalent of enemy combatants! When do we say "Enough!" as outraged Catholics? Are bishops scared of Pelosi? They should know that, by her routine disobedience and spectacles, she makes Church leadership in this country look incompetent and timid in carrying out their sacred duty to lead and to shepherd souls.
