Way to make me feel good about sending children to Catholic schools
I don't have any children, but if in the future I do, I saw something in the Cascade, Iowa Pioneer that makes me feel real good about sending any children I may have to Catholic School.

They had a story about how the Catholic school there had activist Lila Rose visiting the schools to spread the far right's propaganda amongst a new generation of students. I don't have a link to the story since as far as I can tell the Pioneer doesn't publish online. However here's more information about http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/140347/anti-choice_abortion_warriors_have_a_new_poster_girl">Lila Rose.

It just turns my stomach that the school would invite someone like Ms. Rose to speak. It leads me to wonder who is next? Randall Terry?

1. I've heard of her. She pulled the same stunt with Planned Parenthood that those boobs did with ACORN
One of the things I like about being in the Church is that you can fight these attempts at the Church steps.

2. I don't think, here in the SF Bay Area, that I have ever heard or been to
parish where they preached the hard brand of Catholicism...not that they don't talk about abortion, they just don't cram it down our throats. Personally, I'm against abortion, but I am for a womens right to chose.
