While I don't necessarily condone their actions entirety, I fully support those women and wish them the best.
There was a story a few years back in some South American country where a nine year-old girl was raped and impregnated by either her father or step-father (I can't remember which). Of course the girl and her family - including the father - were Catholics.
The girl and her mother wanted an abortion not just because the girl had been raped, and by a family member, no less. They also wanted an abortion because this girl's child-body was simply incapable of giving birth safely. So here we have BOTH of the most valid reasons for an abortion existing simultaneously in this one girl's circumstance and yet the Church still said no - they would both be excommunicated if an abortion was sought.
I believe the girl did end up getting an abortion and yes she and her mother were both excommunicated.
But perhaps the most despicable part of this entire story is that the father, who committed rape AND pedophilia AND possibly incest (if he was her biological father), was not even mildly chastised by the Church nor was he even threatened with excommunication.
Seriously, what the eff is wrong with these people? Though it should come as no surprise given how misogynistic all of these Bronze Age desert religions always were. Why should being in the 21st Century spoil a fun time of primitive savagery?
So I say to those breast-baring, spray-painting women: "YOU GO, GIRLS!"
On the bright side, at least they've refrained from the assorted shootings and bombings (resulting in several deaths), arsons, and miscellaneous vandalisms common in anti-abortion violence in the United States and elsewhere by anti-abortion terrorists.
What are you talking about? Several deaths? Do you have a link on all those abortionists or pregnant women who were killed?
After you are through I will post about Gosnell and all the women and babies he killed. He went for years and years unabated by the law who looked the other way.

I can't believe that part---do you have a link and by a site that isn't a hate site against the church?
Did you know that a group of ultra-traditional Catholics recently disrupted the annual service in Buenos Aires to honor the victims of Kristallnacht? It's attended by Jews, Catholics and Protestants. The group shouted the rosary in the middle of an inter-faith service to honor the victims of that horrible night. They were upset that Jews were in a Catholic church. Among other things.
The service is one of Pope Francis' favorites. And a a group of Catholics chose to dishonor the memories of men and women who were murdered by the Nazi's by the millions. That's much more disgusting to me than a group of women baring their breasts and making a group of men uncomfortable.
Your thoughts? If you, or anyone else, posted videos on CD of a group of Argentine Catholics shouting the rosary during a service to honor murdered Jews I've missed it.

I'll try to find one when I can log in with my PC. I'm posting with a Kindle right now and I haven't learned how to post links, highlight text and other things yet with this thing.
I remember this story actually made national news when it happened so this isn't about sites hating on the Church.

I agree with you though, this is what happens when Catholics rape, and molest kids, then try and act just with their God about gays and abortion. It's going to end somehow. People just won't put up with that crap forever. The end of the "church" dictating society is near.
A lot of gays get attacked over there regardless of the government going against the church in recognizing same sex marriage.
Doesn't help that the Argentinian Pope, Francis said this:
"Pope Francis is a conservative who is anti-gay marriage and anti-gay adoption. He has described same-sex marriage as the work of the devil and a “destructive attack on God’s plan.” He has also said that gay adoption is a form of discrimination against children"
He's trying to cause this fight, and looks like it's a fight he will get this time around.
“[T]he Argentine people will face a situation whose outcome can seriously harm the family," he wrote to the four monasteries in Argentina. "At stake is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother and children. At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God’s law engraved in our hearts.”
He went on to describe it as a "‘move’ of the Father of Lies who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God" and asked for lawmakers to "not act in error." In John 8:44, the Father of Lies is the devil."
So being concerned for the breakdown of the family is bad?

I wonder why you didn't post this one? You can see the current Pope in this video
