not sure how an insurance co. offering birth control is an infringement of religious liberty. you don't have to use the stuff!
hey, catholic church...i know for centuries upon centuries you've tried to insert yourself (no pun intended, really!) into peoples' sexual lives...well, except when it's your priests sexual misbehavior. but really, it's none of your business!
why, oh why, does the church still care that women (gasp) are able to control whether to get pregnant? why is sex such an issue? well, at least when it's between men and women that is...
why does the church still feel that the best thing to do if you don't want to get pregnant is to just not have sex? husbands and wives-really..is that the best way? i'm thinking it's not, and i'd imagine my husband would agree! but then, i had a tubal years ago. guess i better line up asbestos underwear for the after life.

We've come a long way since 1960. Back then, BEING CATHOLIC nearly cost JFK the election; took some creative vote-counting in Illinois for him to win. Now, it seems, the Catholic vote (or lack of it) might cost BO the election in 2012.

no, we really haven't come that far. mitt romney is discounted by many because of his religion. many won't vote for him solely because he is a mormon. i mean, don't you know what they believe?? why, it's a cult! we don't want that church running things. you know, just like what was said when kennedy ran-nobody wanted the pope in charge. altho nothing untoward happened because a papist was in charge, we still have those who just know...KNOW.. that something bad will happen.
there are those who are convinced that obama is a muslim. because, goodness knows, we're a god fearing christian nation. we can't be having non-christians like a mormon or a muslim in charge. that's why we're suffering now, we've turned our backs on gawwwd.


and i prefer the george carlin 'i'm a recovering catholic' line to 'lapsed'.
