The Catholic Church's hold

Would the Catholic Church please get out of the country's legislating?

The New York Times:

“We think that providing health care is itself a pro-life thing, and we think that, by and large, providing better health coverage to women could reduce abortions,” said Richard M. Doerflinger, a spokesman for the anti-abortion division of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

“But we don’t make these decisions statistically, and to get to that good we cannot do something seriously evil.”

Well that's equally as depressing and disgusting. The Bishops pressed hard for the abortion amendment in the House bill. The Democrats could give a fuck about defending a woman's right. They just want to mount their trophy and keep their hold on power.

We heard from insurance companies. We've heard from hospitals and big Pharma. We never heard from the church. Never forget about the toxic potency of religious fervor in America.
