Nancy Pelosi made fun of Republicans' stance on abortion.
She said that there were people in the party who thought life began at the dinner the night before.
Heading into the election, Democrats are campaigning on abortion rights.
Nancy Pelosi ridiculed the GOP's position on abortion rights after Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation that would ban abortion nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
There is a conflict within the Republican party. Pelosi told reporters during her press conference that there were people in the party who thought life began at the dinner the night before.
Several Republican senators did not publicly embrace Graham's bill, which he unveiled on Tuesday, and instead tried to avoid speaking about it as abortion has become a top voter concern in this year's election.
McConnell brushed away the idea of federal legislation to restrict abortion.
The top Republican in the conference thinks that this should be dealt with at the state level.
Democrats have been talking about abortion rights since the Supreme Court threw out the constitutionally protected right to abortion. The enthusiasm around the issue, along with a slate of recent party victories, including a massive climate and health package and $10,000 in student-debt cancelation, seem to have galvanized Democratic voters.
Special elections in New York and Alaska were won by Democrats. In Kansas, the right to an abortion was not removed from the state's constitution.
Women are making their opinions known about this. In her press conference, Pelosi said that they were united in their support for women's right to choose.
