Besides, how can we use logic to discuss the issue when you're supporting female oppression? Women have every right to control what happens to the things growing in/on her.
This wouldn't even be a question if men were the ones to give birth, there would be no argument over it.
How about we make a law saying that men can't masturbate anymore because when they do the sperm that dies is killing millions of potential people?
Now, do you want to see a REAL MIRACLE? Vicar of Christ Pope Benedict XVI names 100 women to wear the Cardinal's hat! B16 renames the HRCC the NUCC! A NEW UNITED Catholic Church. Now that’s the way to enter the third millennia! With a married clergy, women ordained, and declaring extra good people just that, EXTRA good! And not to fake miracles to become a “saint” as has already happened to Mother Teresa. Get a life! This is 2009 not 1009!

First of all, Mother Teresa has not been declared a saint. Second of all, only God knows whether Mother Teresa is really a Saint. No one knows for sure, but given what I know about what she has done, if anyone is in Heaven, it is her. What is your problem with Mother Teresa? That woman did more to try to help the poor and ease the pain of suffering than anyone I know.
Second, the Church does not conform to political correctness, regarding making women priests, or granting permission for married men to become priests. That is the Church's business. The last I heard, the Church is not allowing men to become nuns either. Maybe you should made a scene about that too. Why not let Muslims or Jews become Catholic priests? Why stop there? Maybe PETA can get into the act, and demand that Dolphins be allowed to become priests. It is not your business to tell the Church how to administer the Church's rules. 2009 or 1009 or 3009... it doesn't matter. The Catholic Church is universal, same everywhere, same every period of time.
To me, this is no different than someone giving props to Hitler for the death camps in Germany and saying thank you.
One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.
Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

The celibacy has nothing to do with religion - but money. The church did not want to pay for priests and their families.

As I understand it priests used to be married. The celibacy has nothing to do with religion - but money. The church did not want to pay for priests and their families.

Another bigoted remark with absolutely no reputable source to back up such nonsense. Who is off topic?

Actually, choice, as you call it, is MURDER, which should be a concern for governments.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about. How politics and what Don White said relate - - is not comprehending.
In 1022 Pope Benedict VIII banned marriages and mistresses for priests and in 1139 Pope Innocent II voided all marriages of priests and all new priests had to divorce their wives. This had nothing to do with morality, multiple women for males had long been the norm since before biblical times, but it was about MONEY!
