(39,961 posts)to pitch a fit about something and make political hay over a social issue since they have absolutely no ideas for fixing anything else. People aren't bringing up that there are medical reasons for some women to be on birth control, but that's pretty much normal for our media. Anything to let Republicans crow about a social issue that really isn't a social issue.
Well, and I've come to the conclusion that the Catholic church just plain hates women. That's what happens I guess when you have an organization that doesn't believe in it's officials getting married - you get a bunch of men who dislike women. I wish they would get some men that don't want to rape children instead, prosecute the ones who do rape children and clean up around their own front door before they start trying to dictate to American women.
They are the last organization that should be considered a moral authority at this point on anything, considering how they have covered for pedophiles.
EDIT: Oh, and let me point out that every woman in America with a grain of sense knew that this was exactly where the entire abortion debate was really going. Once they start attacking abortion, they just can't help themselves and go after birth control. There is a segment of the population that can't wait for women to be barefoot and pregnant which is where they think all women belong.
