I remember when one of the most virelently expressed arguments against JFK being elected was that he, as a Catholic, would "do the Pope's bidding."
Times have changed. But only on the surface.
Because there's no difference between Catholic Bishops and "Christian
" evangelicals doing their best to make women "barefoot and pregnant" again....or Wall Street doing the same thing to workers.
Like most giant, controlling institutions, the Catholic Church is about power and money. Look at the real motives of the institutions that try to control people, not just women, and it's always about power and money. They say it's about "freedom" or "decency" or "the will of God" but dig down below the bull and you'll find.....the desire to get, or keep, power and money.
Abortion is a personal decision involving a woman's right to her own reproductive system. It is not the role of government to determine specific morality - but to uphold the Constitution. The right of a women to privacy has been upheld by the Supreme Court - and is not the premise of lawmakers to take that right away. Since when can religious lobbyists decide what a woman may do with her body? We have turned the clock back nearly forty years, and it is horrifying to see where this country is going. Enough. Just enough.
I can't stand to see men of God ,who allow and protect child molesters, point their fingers at woman and tell them what they must do. Most of these men are ignorant on the subject of sex and contraception any way.
