Why did Shinead O'Connor tear up a picture of the Pope? |
Do you remember Shinead O'Connor on SNL taring up a picture of the Pope? Everyone in the studio was shocked. Shinead was protesting the influence the Catholic Church has in her country; Ireland. If a woman wants to have an abortion in Southern Ireland she must go to another country; most likely England. The Catholic Church as made abortion illegal in Southern Ireland. The morning after pill is illegal as well. Now, there is movement in the Southern Irish Parliament to make contraception pills illegal ...(?) Glen your a Mormon, but don't you think a woman has a right to use contraception? Women get pregnant. Should they be forced to give birth? Let's imagine a world where the police monitor pregnant women to enforce the law of child birth. Does that sound like sharia law? Are you having prayer meetings on over burdened social services? Religion is not mandatory in the USA yet. The problem with your thinking is it does not consider the right of a woman to choose not to have a pregnancy. Glen there are just too many problems with our cities. How many unwanted children turn to gangs and crime? Is there ever enough police or welfare civil servants? What will happen when the economy is bankrupt? Las Angeles is running out of water. There are brown outs on the West Coast. How much oil is there? Glen don't be naive. Teenagers are sexually active. They need contraception. If you ignore them, they will self destruct. STDs and unwanted pregnancies are always a threat to the health of teenagers. Why shouldn't they have medical assistance? If your back is sore should you go to a doctor? Stop living in denial. Just my two cents. Muzzy |
