How they ever let supposedly celibate men make decisions about women and birth control is another one of those mysteries of the ages.<br /><br />(Another mystery is why Catholics still let them get away with it in the 21st Century.)Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-24292901847794907452012-02-15T13:15:06.449-05:002012-02-15T13:15:06.449-05:00And if the Catholic Bishops had wombs and could ge...And if the Catholic Bishops had wombs and could get pregnant abortion would be a sacrament!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-74388982129438712652012-02-08T20:35:39.130-05:002012-02-08T20:35:39.130-05:00Hi Beth, their argument (lame to me but then I'...Hi Beth, their argument (lame to me but then I'm not Catholic) is that since birth control goes against the tenets of their religion it goes against everything holy that they should be required to pay for it as part of an insurance premium. <br /><br />A woman argued today that as long as there was a co-pay the Catholic church wasn't actually paying for contraceptions so it was okay. I mean, really!<br /><br />So we all know it's the usual war on women, it's just that they've found a new and better way to fight it. And they can stick it to Obama at the same time.

I think he's a pig.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/17/nyregion/17dolan.html?pagewanted=all<br /><br />I was discussing this with someone just today. This new provision isn't FORCING anyone to use contraceptives if they object to it. It's requiring institutions providing health care coverage to provide contraceptives, in accordance with non-discrimination laws. <br /><br />Yet another "war on something" attributed to the President, this time on religious freedom. It's laughable. One good thing, though...I'd say that it's gotten plenty of women, young and old, fired up and ready to protect our own control of our bodies.

The same guys who are dissing Obama for his policies favoring reproductive freedom routinely commit the crime of obstruction of justice, using their Vatican diplomatic status to avoid showing their books, which would reveal their movement of pedophile priests to new parishes and their stonewalling of lawsuits designed to redress the grievances of young people who had their childhood taken from them. The Catholic Church is an international terrorist group.Jacobus 323https://www.blogger.com/profile/09361011163410711234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-72622247783700424092012-02-08T13:21:18.269-05:002012-02-08T13:21:18.269-05:00Timothy Dolan is a fat, dogmatic asshole who comes...Timothy Dolan is a fat, dogmatic asshole who comes on with an avuncular demeanor that only serves to hide his hatred for women and the sexual minorities.
