These three Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Barbara Boxer of California and Patty Murray of Washington wrote in one very simple paragraph the essence of common sense that not only applies to birth control in this case but the religion aspect over all.
Two things - thanks again girls and bama will cave as usual!
"Religious freedom means that Catholic women who want to follow their church's doctrine can do so, avoiding the use of contraception in any form," the senators wrote. "But the millions of American women who choose to use contraception should not be forced to follow religious doctrine, whether Catholic or non-Catholic."
A huge NO SHIT from outta this cornfield I tell you!
I would have a tough time taking the other sides position with this. That is why there is a Dark Side but I will take our side the right side - this side. The wiring got screwed up somewhere with these humans plus there is no changing minds in numbers of any significance.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI will say it again. The Catlick Bishops should STFU and be glad they aren't in prison getting what they gave the little boys behind the altar.
ReplyDeleteIf only.
ReplyDeleteIf I were head of a hospital-owning church, I'd happily provide birth control to all the people who were not members of my religions. Then in 20 years there would be more of my people and fewer of the others. There's not much about the whole birth control/abortion issue that is logical to me. For example, it's usually the religions that are run by MEN that want no birth control. OK, so if I was one of their wives I'd just say, okay duper, if I can't practice birth control, then you get no sex until I'm 50 years old. And what's with the people who don't want to provide birth control to over-inhabited poor countries? It's more economical to bury the result in mass graves when they starve, than to provide birth control in the first place? Of course, the churches will have benefits to raise money and send it to the poor starving people, manage to feed maybe 30 of them for a month, and their consciences will be clear. Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteYou miss nothing because you thought process is not seriously thawed from mind control techniques used in the formative years. How's that.
DeleteAnd that is a flawed not a thawed.
DeleteIt boggles the brain how the Catholic Church has legitimacy in talking about morality.
ReplyDeleteGotta remember they are given that legitimacy by the media whose interest is in doing so. Like all the crazy bastards who get air time. It's a a diversion from the many real issues we face the 1% wants us to focus on thinks like this.
ReplyDeleteNot that pedophile priests aren't important but better them than reminding the sheep 50% of their tax dollars are used for war and the killing of innocents. Stuff like that.
Barry will announce he's flip-flopping on contraception this morning.
ReplyDeleteHe's as weak-as-water. A 140lbs., arugula-eating worm.
That's the problem with fundamentalists of all stripes, they want to cram their religion down everyone elses throats and can't stand it if anyone dares disagree with them.
