Catholic Bishops Demanding ALL Businesses be Exempt from Birth Control Mandate

[StarlightGold]

If this doesn't galvenize us, I don't know what will. We need to flood church websites, e-mails, turn up at churches protesting, etc. These people need to be crushed and now. How ANYONE who calls themselves "Progressive" and is still be a part of this disgusting institution beggars belief.

[Hutzpa]

11. Yes,

since they want to meddle in politics, maybe we need to rethink the tax codes
that exempt them from paying taxes.

2. Church goer's - don't forget the power of the empty envelope....

with a note inside that says no dough until the church gets OUT of politics.

[Warren Stupidity]

3. There are a whole lot of laws I would like to opt out of for 'religious reasons'.

The Catholic Church and its minions can go to their hell.

4. One of the comments

How many children are the bishops raising? If they have not taken in and given homes to at least 3 children each, then they had better shut their mouths.

Organized religion is the root of all evil

15. The problem is they're fucking more kids than they are raising

5. BC Pill and IUD is considered an abortifacient

Contraceptives cause early abortions to them. They want to ban all abortions. Haven't you heard them call the Morning After Pill "the abortion" pill? That is nothing more than mega dosage of regular BC pills.

Bottom line is that want to ban anything, even the most remote chance, which would cause an abortion. BTW, this has all been talked about with those "Personhood" Amendments. Yes, I know that BC Pill stops ovulation. Their theory is that if ovulation were to happen, the fertilized egg wouldn't implant and that is an abortion.

Of course, how does this apply to a 12 year old girl taking the pill for very heavy periods?

13. It would apply to the 12 year old girl!

If she should get raped, and not get pregnant, then she wouldn't be properly punished for being such a little slut that she caused some poor man to do that to her.

I hate these bastards, they used to burn us at the stake, I'd like for all the women of this country to give them so much hell that they would be wishing they still could. Fucking boy diddlers.

6. Wedge Issue

Without wedge issues, the 'pigs would have to run on their only real platform, which is, "Give Every Penny To The Richest 0.1%"

[broiles]

8. I think all children should be exempt from priest rape. n/t

[Johnson20]

9. I think the Church should

stay out of politics period, be it contraception, immigration or other issues.

[geardaddy]

12. Who the fuck do they think they are?

Demanding? Fuck them.

[pokerfan]

14. It's a religious freedom issue

The Church wants the freedom to impose its will upon you.

[provis99]

16. the Catholic Church pushing its religion on non-Catholics.

it will make Santorum proud.

[smirkymonkey]

17. It will make Santorum toast.

The last think anyone will want is a Catholic president who would gladly do the bidding of the Vatican.
