    Most of the people here have missed the point. We Catholics want our 1st Amendment rights. We’re not stopping any woman from buying contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs. We’re saying we don’t want to pay for these items.

    Whatever happened to “choice.” It’s a two-way street. And, as far as abortion-inducing drugs, what about the rights of the child?

    Please don’t ask me that hackneyed question, “how many children have you adopted.” I’ll tell you: two.

    I’m amazed at those of us who can’t accept the fact that conservatives are on the side of the angels on this issue. Why look a gift horse in the mouth. Why not ask where there might be other common ground, instead of assuming that conservatives are always evil?
