Like Ladydoc has stated, are YOU willing to provide all the means of support for a child that cannot be cared for? From some of your previous posts, I think the answer is NO. I might be mistaken on that but keep it to yourself.
According to the tenets of the Catholic Church, any form of birth control is a sin. The Pope even preached that in Africa recently. How archaiac can a person be?
I do not think the government should force a woman to have a child if she does not want it. It is a woman's own personal choice. Let it be.
No, I do not want to hear "abortion is murder". It is not - so do not say it. Roe vs Wade made abortion legal. Case closed.

Seems to me that you are just talkin....but skirting the real issue here.
It makes NO difference how many Catholics abide by the law of the church....the issue, to me is the Federal Government interfering in religious exercise, whether you like it or not. We have made concessions to the Muslim faith for years but in this case, the only thing getting the administrations attention is the fear of political repercussions.
The message is keep the government out of religion.
Note the ONLY chagrin from this administration is the political chaos caused. This health bill, unless repealed 100% is going to be an anchor on this country, especially financially for a long long time.
