In reply to the discussion: White House May Look to Compromise on Contraception Decision. [View all]Smilo
(2,020 posts)the earth is over populated and straining to support those on the planet now, so why are churches so hung up on centuries old rules about no contraception. Okay, that is rather rhetorical because we know it is really about power and the more parishioners they have the more powerful they believe they are.
If they want to decide what one can and cannot do then they should refuse all government funds - that goes for churches, schools and universities. They should then ex-communicate all those that have used birth control at any time and, of course, refuse to accept funds from those that have used birth control.
It is 2012 - women are just as good as men and we do not need churches or other religious groups to tell us how to behave and what to do.
PS - Axelrod read the bloody blogs and surveys - I am going to use Catholics as an example here - 98% of Catholics use some sort of non-natural birth control. The ordinary Catholic woman wants to be able to obtain birth control, want the church to butt out of her sex-life. Do not give in to the Church - all religions - they are antiquated and very out of touch with their base. Hmm - Axelrod you may also want to consider that for yourself.
