Now what were you Catholics saying about money going to contraception violating your morals? What about money going to your Archdiocese?

Isn't that a little more unsavory that some birth control pills?

on moral matters when you know they've encouraged pedophiles. Why is it they want women and children to suffer under their messed up morality and they go about their daily crimes with no regard for social morality?

Trust me, if men could get men pregnant, they would find a biblical passage to justify birth control.

contraception is a sin. Covering up systematic institutionalized pedophilia...just fine, no violation of conscience there. Asking hospitals and charities with non-Catholics working there to provide contraception...wow, why don't we just ask them to murder someone?
