Pro-Family Legislation - Does it help?

26. It is nothing short of sinful

How Catholic wives and women were treated back in those days. I’m sorry your mom went through all that, Hecate. Church didn’t care whether children lost a mother in childbirth. Men could always find another wife. How didn’t your mom have a severe case of depression? The patriarchy of the church was and still is just disgusting in its attitude towards women. Sepsis, hemorrhaging to death, stillbirths, etc. It is all just “God’s Will”.

I am thinking of a good friend a few years older than myself, her mother was also a “Good Catholic” who had ten kids and a husband who had affairs with other women and drank away his paycheck. Her mother was severely depressed (Gee, I wonder why!) and they had to literally depend on charity just to eat.

When I was a kid, our neighbor lady who had 4 kids needed a hysterectomy to save her life (cancer) and the priest from our church came to the hospital to talk to her doctor without telling her. He wanted to make sure she wasn’t just using a hysterectomy as an excuse not to have more children!!!

You’re much better at expressing the true sentiment here, which is, taking away a woman’s right to determine what happens to her body is never okay. Government does not belong between a woman and her doctor, period. I feel like a broken record when I say, “If you are against abortion then don’t have one. But don’t force your religion onto others!”
