This is what I have to say about birth control and religion

The american catholic church resides in the United States, and must abide by its laws. The United States does not reside in the catholic church and should not and must not bend its laws to make the catholic church happy.

The catholic church and other christian sects that are on the extreme right, they are so clueless that there actions and views are the same as those that adhere to extreme islamic laws.

I am so tired of President Obama and others in his administration trying to placate these insane religious groups. It is time for the administration, to say here is the constitution, if you don't want to abide by it, then you can leave and don't let the door hit your asses on the way out.

1. Remember when people were concerned about JFK's Catholicism?

As I understand it, they were afraid that the Pope would be running America. Where's that concern this time aro... Oh, that's right, it's because the Catholic candidate this time is a Republican.

The claim was that JFK would take orders from the Vatican. How ironic is it that Santorum already does.

5. People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution;

They don't put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.

And the Bible doesn't say anything about birth control.
