[Vision2020] A fine point, perhaps.

As I have stated on the Viz before . . .

If men could get pregnant, there would be abortion clinics on virtually every street corner and the morning-after pill would be available in a multitude of flavors available from snack machines at every airport.

I'm past that phase in life.  Hey, I'm 60+.  What can't get up, can't get out.

Hey, Rose:  Do you know if Tri-Care covers Viagra?  

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

In light of the  Supreme Court decision supporting the Hobby Lobby owners refusal to provide forms of birth control they claim to be at odds with their religious beliefs,  I wondered if the court was persuaded not by legal arguments but by their own religious affiliations.  Were any of the five male justices associated with religious groups that  uphold the doctrine of patriarchy,  i.e., do they attend churches that deny women ministerial or priesthood roles. Guess what?  Justice Roberts, Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, and Justice Alito are Roman Catholic.

There may or may not be a direct correlation between religion affiliation and legal opinions, but it is my firm belief that unearned gender privilege nurtured in the cradle, and deferred to in the church certainly creates an atmosphere that celebrates and bestows unique privilege for male members.  And, what could possibly more be patriarchal than controlling women’s reproductive choices?
