They should be stripped of that anyway. The church as an entity.
I believe orgs like Catholic Charities and the Sisters of Mercy will be OK.
Legally separating them from Bishop's oversight might be a positive. They could still have charitable status.
I'd prefer it if religious organizations did not offer "official" pronouncements on political issues. If an individual bishop wants to run his (and read his) diocese the way he sees fit, so be it.
Abortion isn't a political issue. The church has had prohibitions against murder since the time of Christ. Other religions have had it for much longer.
abortion is a political issue, it should fall under civil rights.
What about the rights of the child?
At the moment of conception, it's not a child. It's a zygote.
And as always, I find your concern for the "child" to be amusing.
Because we both know if it's carried to term, once that child falls out of the mother, you won't
give two hoots about what happens to it. Take away its healthcare, take away
the mother's access to to any services like foodstamps or other programs if needed,
and defund the child's access to public education.
Sure. The child has rights. But first, we're gonna put our boot on the mother to shove her into a ditch
while she gives birth, then we're gonna let the kid climb out of that ditch on its own.
