Cath Dems Seek To Persuade Undecideds | National Catholic Reporter
Cath Dems Seek To Persuade Undecideds | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The authors make an essential point found in most Catholic Special Ethics classes, which address topics rather than the structure of ethics. The point made is that the impact of the employer's payment is so small (and in this instance, non-existent) that it has no grounds for avoiding making it. This argument comes from the argument on paying taxes to fund either defense or to support a society that allows abortion. It is absolutely sound. Additionally, I would hope that before the election, MSW would admit that Catholic organizations have been paying for contraception since December of 2000, when the EEOC said it must, if not before. This entire controversy was a picked fight between Valerie Jarrett and the Pro-Life Secretariat of the USCCB that need not have occurred. Both sides benefitted from it and only time will tell whether it changed any minds. I suspect not. Rather, Romney is saying that the economy is biggest women's issue. The fact that the economy is coming back of late is just poetic justice.
