(82,333 posts)I'll take that as an admission that you posted a broad brush, simple-minded - and incorrect - statement.
I'll explain to you why you're wrong.
If the RCC vanished tonight, an eventuality which I expect is dear to your heart for reasons well beyond contraception and abortion, the political forces against legalization would not vanish.
If you've been paying attention, one, it is not simply the political wing of the RCC which is waging "a war on women", and two, they, all of them, are not winning. Not by a longshot. The courts have across the board slapped down lawsuits attempting to restrict access to abortion and contraception. You'll need to ramp up your google-fu beyond a bill passing a state legislature "52.6%-47.4%" to rewrite that reality. Not to mention, the reproductive constitutional protections are federal, not state.
I am no ally of you, specifically you, because with you it's always a close call as to whether you're driven by anti-religion or pro-reproductive rights.
Fortunately, the actual movement to maintain reproductive rights is not hamstrung by such narrow, parochial concerns couched in inaccurate rhetoric. And it works just fine with religious and nonreligious advocates. Unlike you.
