Bishops Sue to Stop HHS Contraception Mandate/Election Year Ploy? Whose Freedom of Religion and Whose Conscience is at Risk? Rise Up for Gender Justice

http://ncronline.org/news/43-catholic-dioceses-groups-sue-stop-hhs-contraception-mandate
The United States Catholic Bishops involved in this election year ploy do not represent Catholic women or the majority of their own church, let alone the rest of the country. They claim this is about freedom of religion, but whose freedom of religion? whose freedom of conscience? Do other religious leaders get to impose their beliefs on the people of our country who do not share their faith? If this were so, the Seventh Day Adventist would have every right to impose their opposition to blood transfusions on us. It looks like the bishops and the Republican party have joined forces in their war on women's reproductive health. Let's rise up in opposition to the U.S. Catholic bishops' anti-women agenda that violates the majority of Americans' freedom of religion. Let's unite for  gender justice now. No one should fall prey to this election year ploy by the U.S. Catholic bishops!

Yet you represent no one.

Bishops, sleep tight.
Don't let the blogs bite.

The Church has no authority to grant universal suffrage to non-men.

Hence, Bishops have the moral obligation to represent such entities.
