Dear Scottish Catholics,
I’ll be quite happy with you saying “you can’t take communion if you’re not anti-abortion” thing once we’ve eliminated rape and, in fact, all unwanted pregnancy, got healthcare to such a degree that a woman’s life is never endangered through becoming pregnant, got basic living standards for all people to the level whereby every child can be given a life worth living and created a 100% reliable method of contraception that your church is also prepared to endorse.
Until then, please stop taking such an absurd black-and-white stance on a complicated, deeply emotional and difficult issue. It’s not like people have an abortion for fun, for goodness sake.
Love, Chris
Grr. Just as I was getting over my initial prejudices and thinking ‘the Catholics aren’t all that bad, it’s the fundamentalists we need to keep an eye on,’ some wank like this comes along.
It would bother me less (though still a lot) if it wasn’t restricted to MPs.
I’m sending this to every Scottish Catholic I know.
OK, perhaps not but … well.. BRAVO!!
