In reply to the discussion: Mean ACLU Won’t Let Hospital Refuse Ladyparts Care For Jesus Reasons [View all]Moral Compass
(1,521 posts)28. That's why we let it go
My wife's pregnancy was high risk and my youngest almost didn't make it. But the care was expert (before the birth and in the NICU) and I have a wonderful, beautiful, brilliant daughter.
I did not agree with their position and if not for the outcome might have gone to the ACLU myself.
Instead, I got a vasectomy a few years later.
It is a grotesque violation of medical ethics in my view.
It was over reproductive rights and contraception specifically I left the Church at 13.
Even though Pope Francis is a really great guy and the world loves him he has not changed Catholicism's anti-feminine, anti-sex dogma. A dogma not rooted in the teachings of Christ but in the twisted prudery of old bitter men.

Psalm's are not gospel. They hold no theological value other than they are beautiful.
