1. This pisses me off so much. As do many comments in GD about it.

The idea that women are in need absolution for reproductive choice is disgusting. What other medical decisions require "forgiveness" from the RCC?

Also note that is still at the discretion of the priest. I predict many will opt out.

And to borrow from another poster in GD: "he seems to be talking only about women who "bear a scar in their heart" over this decision. He is right that it is an existential and moral situation (not an "ordeal" for every woman). What about the women that do not bear a scar but find a sense of relief that the availability of safe, legal abortion gives them? Can only women who bear a scar in their heart be forgiven? "

Fuck you, Frank.
