a word from tally: newsflash – slavery is illegal and women are not property

by Tally

Iowa bishops urge fasts on birth control coverage

“SIOUX CITY, Iowa (WTW) - Roman Catholic bishops in Iowa are asking parishioners to fast and pray to demonstrate their concerns over an employer birth control mandate in the federal health care law.

Parishioners have been asked to participate in a “special day of fasting and penance for religious liberty” on March 30, KTIV-TV in Sioux City reported Thursday.”

What the FRAK is going on? And when the hell is it going to stop???

How are men like Rush Limbaugh (or the Catholic Church for that matter) allowed near a microphone, let alone paid (donated) millions to spew hatred?

It’s 2012. How dare any MAN think he has the remotest right to even an opinion about any woman’s healthcare, sexuality and sex life. Men certainly wouldn’t tolerate women having a say in theirs. Why are we, as a modern civilized society allowing this?

NEWS FLASH – SLAVERY IS ILLEGAL AND WOMEN ARE NOT PROPERTY.
