Is there such a thing as a constitutional violation of a women’s right to her own reproductive decisions? Why should a priest’s view be more valid than her own gynecologist’s reproductive recommendations? With a recent huge influx of abortion restrictions written by Republican-dominated legislatures and governors, they totally aborted medical criteria and the rights of individuals to be in control of their own bodies. Is an imposition of compulsory pregnancy a constitutional right for the Catholic Church so to infect the rights of all of America with tyrannical religious dogma, which openly discriminates against women?
We must keep the church and state separate where separation has finally given new meaning for the gay community, whose existence had to endure hate spewed over pulpits for too many years.
