Really? I didn't have to register for The Age to read it. But I did take and post that paragraph below the link which was from the article. The article was saying that the catholic church had been lobbying for laws concerning reproductive rights. Well my point is that it is one thing to interpret scripture to their parishers but it is quite another to effect laws that encompass the entire population of the country.

The other links were to show that this "church" not only tries to change laws in a particular country but that they have a seat in the U N in order to have their say in world politics. I find this disturbing because I don't happen to agree with catholic philosophy and neither do many of the people who are affected by Vatican lobbying.

PS I don't actually have a wife. I meant that if I did have a wife who had complications giving birth. I would do anything to make sure that she survived over a new baby if only one could survive. Her life is more important especially if she already has other children. Now I don't care if a catholic lets his wife die in that situation (well I do, but he is stupid if he does) but if the Vatican gets the law changed in this country like they did in El Salvador. The war will really be on.

Hmm... I just tried to go back to the link with The Age and now it wants me to register. Well they can bugger off!
