98 percent of Catholic women use or have used birth control including abortions

Birth control adds to a woman's sense of and actual control of their lives and future, and the Catholic Church is mean spirited and myopic to an extreme on this issue.

They once burned people at the stake for being heretics if they were not Christian, so as they have changed for the better in stopping the murder of people like myself for not believing in Christianity, of that a Christ even existed, they can grow up, smell the coffee and use common sense in changing to better reflect the reality of the issue.

I was forced to go to religious instruction and church when I was young because my parents were Catholic, but I am very proud to say I never bought the bill of goods concerning this religion -- and other religions that are there solely to manage human populations, not preserve, protect and value all living things.

It is a shame I was submitted to the pouring of the toilet water on my head as a baby called a baptism, as had I had informed consent, i would not have let them do that ridiculous 'sacrament' with me as an unwilling participant.

The Catholic Church should be more concerned with how papal Bulls such as The Doctrine of Discovery' issued in 1452 by Pope Nicholas V. (http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html)

It has directly been responsible for genocide and murder of many people in this hemisphere and elsewhere in the world during and after the so called "Age of Discovery."

Maybe if the Catholic Church was a wee bit more repentant for their role in many crimes against humanity, it would be easier to take them more seriously with this contrived and myopic posture they engage in concerning birth control.

Heel Ann, heel!
