It is time for the Catholic Church to abandon their opposition to birth control.

They are on the wrong side of history on this issue, as they have been on so many issues in the past.

The use of birth control reduces the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions. Duh.

Maybe if her husband didn't work so hard at taking away jobs and paying his employees the least possible amount of wages, and rigging wages with his fellow tech CEOs then they might be able to afford birth control.

Aside from her husband's predatory behavior, I find that knowing she is so excessively wealthy really annoys me when she talks about the poverty of others. Why doesn't she just give those poor women some of her money and they would have birth control too. Her appeal really grates on my nerves.
