About 250 guests were to attend the dinner. Benedict will not be there because he will be attending an evening prayer service with U.S. bishops.

Jophed,

I didn't realize 5 justices were Roman Catholic. It's only a matter of time before someone challenges Roe v Wade and the scrotus says hey you're right.

Obviously.

And when you realize the Iraq war was a mistake, the troops will be brought back home.

You got some reading to do, chop chop!

The Justices didn't know the pope's position on abortion before they didn't meet him.

JP2 used to smear aborted fetuses on Communion wafers.

You know the old Hammarabi's Law? Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth? The Bible used a lot of that kind of stuff in the old testament too, until Jesus came along and brought up "turn the other cheek."

Well, someplace in the Bible it says, if you smack a chick and you killed her, her husband could kill you legally. But if you smacked a pregnant chick and she lost her baby, you just owed her husband cash for the inconvenience. ( . . . damn, I need to have that verse and passage written down somewhere so I could cite it . . . can never remember it.)

Most babies weren't even named until they lived for a month. SIDS was around even then, even though hospitals weren't.

Traditional herbal abortificants are still for sale in many health food stores. But they're dangerous. Ergot was common up until a hundred years ago, and damn effective. These days women too poor to go to the clinic can down some dong quai and penny royal. Hell, just overdosing in vitamin C is enough to cause a spontaneous termination.

2 out of 3 pregnancies are terminated naturally by the female body before the woman even realizes she's pregnant.

Personally, I could do without my uterus. My genes are so ****** up that adoption is a better gamble than having my own kids, and it causes me nothing but agony unless I'm on the pill. (Progesterone i luv u.)

Yes, because all Roman Catholics believe exactly what the Pope tells them to. Smiley: rolleyes

Cat-ho, may I in all seriousness suggest a hysterectomy? While it is a radical response for what may be a treatable problem, the relief you experience could very well make an invasive procedure well worth it-- particularly if you won't be having any children.

The great part about Catholics is that they can do whatever they want as long as they make sure to make it to church on Easter and Christmas Eve. I wouldn't hold my breath for any significant changes.

Catwho

You are thinking of:

Exodus Chapter 21 Verse 22-25
"If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."

The offender is only fined if "there is no serious injury" which I interpret as "the child survives."

More interesting is:

Chapter 22 Verse 28-29
"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."

Sounds like a horrible life for her.

American Catholics love abortion and birth control and premarital sex and gays.

They should really probably rename the American Dioceses "Episcopalian two, Electric Boogaloo".
