CATHOLIC WOMEN HAVE MORE VOTES THAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS

It was great to see all the letters to the editor this morning by women praising Obama’s free contraceptives initiative and denouncing Catholic bishops for their misguided and ignorant stance against women’s health choices. The bishops recently even rejected Obama’s compromise on the issue making them bigger idiots than they already seem.

There were letters supporting the bishops and they were all by MEN which makes my TALIBAN analogy so much more valid but I have to quickly add that there are many men (me included) that absolutely support women’s health initiatives.

Many Catholic organizations including CATHOLICS FOR CHOICE are taking out ads informing Obama that the votes of the bishops are miniscule compared to the votes of Catholic women in America and it is the women who Obama needs to listen to and not some old, sterile fuddy-duddy bishops that know what they talk about.
