Get Thee to a Nunnery
It seems as though it’s not just the GOP who is conducting a war against women. The Catholic Church has declared war on women religious.

Sister Margaret
Sister Margaret was a senior administrator of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. A 27-year-old mother of four arrived late last year, in her third month of pregnancy. According to local news reports and accounts from the hospital and some of its staff members, the mother suffered from a serious complication called pulmonary hypertension.

A moral institution like the Catholic Church simply cannot countenance such disagreement with the Infallible Ex-Nazi Pope. Maybe the Church will next bar those using contraception. Which will leave the pedophile priests, who are still welcome […]
Priorities
