Would someone please tell the Catholic Bishops to STFU! If you've been hiding under a rock for century's maybe you don't know about how little use the Catholic Church has for Women. Priest sworn to marry their religion and totally ignore a natural carnal need, have been buggering little boys instead. Meanwhile the cover-up and protection of these pedophiles all across the globe by even the current Pope, seems to have been shoved under the rug. Listen up Catholics, your Religion is corrupt and out dated. Why should the Press or the American citizens even give a rates ass about what these criminals think in the matter of Pregnancy Protection!
As we near the 2012 presidential election, continued economic progress means that we are almost certain to see Republicans push wedge issues (e.g., gay marriage, abortion, and President Obama's so-called war on religion). They had been planning to run on the economy, but if the economy appears to be moving in the right direction, they have nothing else but their wedge issues. So let's take a look at this war on religion Obama is allegedly waging.
As part of reforming health care, the Obama administration is seeking to provide all women with access to affordable contraception. By removing the cost barrier, women would be more free than ever before to choose for themselves whether they will use contraception.
Who could possibly have a problem with that? As it turns out, the Catholic Church is upset about this. You see, even though an overwhelming majority of Catholics in the U.S. use contraception, the Church still adheres to the Vatican position that birth control is essentially equivalent to abortion. And Republicans desperate for a wedge issue have taken up this cause to argue that Obama is waging war on religion.
The Obama administration hopes to provide access to contraception by requiring employers to select health care plans that include contraceptive coverage, which most already do. The Catholic Church and many Republicans are up in arms about this because they claim that it requires employers to violate their conscience by providing health services with which they do not agree. It does not seem to matter what sort of exemptions the administration offers because Republicans think they have an effective wedge issue with which to attract moronic voters.
I applaud the administration's plan to provide women with access to affordable contraception. This is about improving health care. If only the Catholic bishops would spend as much time working on the prevention of child rape as they do opposing contraception, they might be able to make a real difference.
Maybe you don't study history and are unaware of the continued war on Women from the Catholic Church. It's been going on for Century's and what price has this so called blood thirsty Religion paid?
