WTF??

The Drudge Report had a piece claiming the following:

[Nancy] Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once
said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to
imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.

If you actually read her statement, she doesn't imply that at all. She just states that providing more money for contraception would reduce costs to the state and government in reduced health care and education. Since when is trying to reduce unwanted pregnancies (through prevention, not abortion mind you) spun into saying children are a burden? And the photo of Pelosi accompanying the piece is very unflattering and shows a look of disdain or disgust on her face.

I haven't read a lot of the Drudge Report, but I see a very clear bias in this article and in the reporting of "facts."
