More Pope Stuff

Woman with brain tumors refused life-saving tubal ligation at Catholic hospitals:

And let us remember that although Pope Francis is a step up from his predecessors, his Church has done little more than lip service to truly reform Catholicism’s animus towards gays, women and population control. Although I believe that Francis is sincere in his concern for the plight of the poor, by refusing to sanction birth control (a refusal embodied in his encyclical against global warming), he perpetuates the very poverty he abhors.

Go Forth And Use Birth Control

From The Five Year Ban: Because A Billion Less People Is A Great Place To Start by Steven Kotler:

We have spent the past 4000 years trying to shrug off the nightmare that is Biblical advice. We no longer sanction slavery or believe it okay to stone a woman to death for wearing sexy clothing or any of that other nonsense—but go forth and multiply?

Got to be the worst advice in the history of the world.

But wait, there's more: The Five Year Ban: Global Over-Population Part II.
