Rachel Made A Great Point About Daryll Issa's All-Male Panel Tonight

[stopbush]

She pointed out how Issa's excuse for not having any women on the panel was because, "this is about religious freedom, not contraception."

Rachel pointed out that Issa was saying that (apparently) women have no say when the topic is religious freedom, either.

1. Rachel is a national treasure.

Thank goodness she's on OUR side!

2. I think that one person's religious freedom ends where another

person's personal freedom begins. My Catholic employer's freedom of religion ends where my freedom to use birth control begins. That is how I see this.

I don't walk into a Catholic Church and begin to sing A Mighty Fortress during the Mass. I don't expect the Catholic Church to walk into my bedroom and preach against contraception.

3. I could not agree with you more, JDPriestly!

5. Thanks. Very interesting.

4. Exactly. Several denominations have women clergy they could have invited.

But of course they only invited clergy who could be counted on to parrot the GOP talking points.
