the Catholic Church strikes again

The Catholic Church has its head up its ass again. I say this with all due respect. Seriously. The Church has condemned an abortion. Not surpising, except this abortion was performed in Brazil, on a 9 year old girl. No typo, folks. This poor girl was expecting twins, as a result of being raped by her stepfather. Her life was threatened by the pregnancy. The girl weighs 80 pounds. Her doctor says her body was just too small for one baby, let alone two.

Abortion is illegal in Brazil, except in cases where the mother's life is threatened. If the courts in Brazil can see that this is a compelling instance for abortion, why can't the Catholic Church? The Church is considering excommunicating the girl's mother and her doctor for participating in this "heinous" act. Apparently the act her stepfather committed is considered less offensive.

I hope the pope burns in a hell of his own making. I really do.

Why am I hearing Monty Python in my head: "Every sperm is sacred"???

Geesh!

Quick Vatican: Tell all those companies out there that have in vitro embryos on ice that they'll go to Hell if they don't keep them viable.

Oh, and wicked step fathers (and other molesters of children): Say ten Hail Mary's and Rock On!
