"They needed to be humbled, unmercifully, until the hubris was wrung out of every damn one of them. Now, a woman working a low-income service industry job under the supervision of a Catholic boss will have her access to essential health-care truncated by a discredited encyclical to which no Catholic has paid any heed since the administration of Lyndon Johnson. These bastards needed to be broken, publicly, and into a thousand pieces that were scattered to the winds. Instead, they are 'voices of conscience' again. It is to weep." -- Charles P. Pierce in Esquire.com today, referring to the right wing Catholic establishment, which is now seeking to deny all American women, regardless of their faith, access to birth control, according to the U.S. Conference of Bishops' general counsel. Now who's trying to impose their beliefs on others?
UPDATE: And where do Americans, and Catholics in particular, stand on the access to birth control issue? Check out the polling. Even pro-choice Rethugs (wait, what? - there are pro-choice Rethugs?) are warning that this would be a disastrous fight for the Rethugs to engage in. Oh well, anything for a Culture War!
