House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made powerful speeches at an abortion rights event Thursday night in Washington.

The two addressed guests at the 50th anniversary dinner for NARAL Pro-Choice America, the oldest organization fighting for abortion rights in the U.S., delivering strong messages on the impeachment process initiated against President Donald Trump and the continued fight for reproductive freedom.

Pelosi said that today was a “very sad time for our country.”

“I say this to you with great sorrow and prayerfully, that we are at a place that I hoped we would never be,” she said.

“We never thought we would see a president take the actions that he has. In fact, I don’t think our Founders ever thought a president would do such a thing,” she added.
