A letter appearing in today's Denver Post, a reply to Denver's Bishop who blasted Obama in the press - like his co-fools:<br />----<br /><br />"I know it’s a bummer, Bishop—being “forced “ to pay for something that’s against your conscience. But look at it this way: Taxpayers often pay for things they truly don’t believe in. War, for example. (Say, aren’t we Catholics against that?)<br /><br />If you think about it, there are many reasons why women choose to use contraceptives, among them poor health, poverty, immaturity, rape or incest, an abusive relationship, inability to provide a stable home life, drug use, recognition that they are not prepared to take on at the time the job of raising children.<br /><br />Women need to be able to make the often-difficult decisions about when and if to begin or add to a family. The National Academy of Science applauds Obama’s program, whose main goal is to provide preventive care, screenings, prenatal checkups, and otherwise insure that women are healthy and therefore more likely to give birth to children who are healthy, who will have food and shelter, who are wanted and who will be loved.<br /><br />Somehow, I think Jesus would understand."<br /><br />Sister Mary Ann Cunningham, Loretto Community, Denver<br /><br />---<br />Good for you, Sister Cunningham! Pity the padres in your religion are so damned dumb...and officious, sanctimonious!Copernicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699554476216140859noreply@blogger.com
