The comments between phma and myself were made with humor (did you fail to see this -> in my post?)
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, er, rants..

People may not agree with him but at least try to understand what it means to be a Christian as per the Pope's view toward humanity.

Yes, yes, we get that the Pope was speaking in a metaphor regarding the bridges.
He was not speaking in a metaphor when he derided the US for refusing to take in Muslim refuges that can't be vetted. He derides the US over that when he won't even take them in at the Vatican City .
I suspect that a pregnant woman who is contemplating having an abortion would go to a priest or her parents if she wants to get talked out of getting an abortion. Or maybe Ted Cruz. But not PP, you are probably right about that. I think they just present you with facts about the procedure, and you get to decide on whether to go forward with it . . . just like a regular doctor would.
But the point is that many more women go to PP for mundane day-to-day thing like OBGYN, STD testing, prescription contraceptives, so on and so on.
What is the problem with an organization performing services that are legal and constitutionally protected as per the SCOTUS? Go change the law or overturn Roe v. Wade if folks don't like it.

Why do women need special clinics for their health that use taxpayer money? Why don't men get those clinics, too? Or children? Or old people?

Exactly.

It's too bad that religion in Europe and the U.S had to be imported from the Middle East.

They even offer services for educators, such as for sex education in the schools, etc.
When Trump said he supported PP he meant that he supports the education and preventative care that PP offers, he is completely against their abortion practices and wants it stopped.
Maybe His Holiness should be criticizing the leaders of Latin America who have turned their countries into $h!tholes that people put their lives at risk to escape from.
Socialism is not Christian.
I'll tell you what is Christian is being a working Christian, meaning pulling together and working together as a team....instead of playing follow the leader....Human beings have this terrible habbit of putting other human beings up there on some pedistol, proclaiming that person will save us....the only person that can save us, is everyone pulling together....
If you live in a community which infestes itself with people living off of others, there is no incentive to be a working part of the community....all the others giving them substance are only enforcing them to be lazy....
But when you have a community that works together, you have something very valuable....
The Pope is nothing, nothing but a human being, and why people put him up there on some almight pedistal is beyond me....."Thou shall have no other God's before me".

Who is elected by other human beings, not appointed by a diety reaching down from the heavens to say "YOU THERE, YES YOU, you are now the head of my church and speak for ME"!
If the pope really was the big kahuna wouldn't it be written on a tablet or wouldn't there be at the very least a burning bush or two?
Please. Trump is the biggest fraud to ever run for President. He's changed parties AT LEAST FIVE TIMES! Who does that? Oh yea, a flip-flopping reality show circus clown. He's a liberal RINO. You want to talk pious? You mean that phony video of Trump holding a bible and talking about God and religion in a last ditch effort to try and win Evangelical votes in Iowa? Talk about pathetic.
I'm STILL waiting for Trump to crash and burn. IF the dude's gonna do it, it better be SOON. Other wise he WILL win not only the Repub nomination, he might just knock off the Dem winner this year.
