The first thing you need to know is that bishops don’t get a veto. Given the hyperbolic rhetoric now spewing from the likes of Boehner, Gingrich and Santorum, you could be forgiven for believing that churches have constitutional protections. They don’t. If anything they are disfavored in constitutional law.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, one in five pregnancies is entirely unwanted. That's as many as 1.3 million children highly likely to end up as wards of the state. We'd all agree that every child should have loving parents who want him or her, right?
So in the end, there are two important lessons to be taken from the Bishop's attempt to veto. One, laws enforcing religious dogma are unconstitutional. And two, if you're for Planned Parenthood, you need to get up off the couch about birth control. The decoupling of politics from women's health is ongoing.
Are you a sinner or are you an American? This whole religious freedom canard is an attempt to put religious conscience in domination of the Constitution. Do you even love women? Then why aren't you concerned about their health?
