The only scandal among the Catholic faithful, is that caused by a bishop whose morality is from the waist down.  

As AFT noted below---there are other services provided by Planned Parenthood that in many places of the country, women would not have if it were not for Planned Parenthood.  Women are not going to be forced to go to back allies or to get out the coat-hanger again.  The women of Poland went on strike when they anticipated that the laws in Poland [concerning abortion] would become more stringent.  Women in America would do all that and more---if the services of Planned Parenthood were curtailed.


Rather than his rant, Bishop Scharfenberger should go to a shelter for pregnant mothers and talk to them about their anticipated futures with a new-born---and listen to their concerns.   THIS would be demonstrating REAL concern for the well-being of the souls, minds and hearts of women.
