Well, I gone & done did it [View all]
I have been working with the local women's shelter (which is run by an order of nuns) since I moved to this town & have been on the board for the past 6 years. My term is up this year & they asked yesterday if I wanted to sign on for a 3rd & last term. In the past, it's been a no-brainer to say "yes," because there really is a huge need for a DV shelter. However, at the past meeting, the head penguin gave a little speech against contraception & why the Church is against it & why we should support the Bishops, blah blah blah.
It was tough saying "no" & saying why, since this is the only shelter in town for women & children, but I just can't lend my energy & support to an organization headed by a Church that refuses to recognize women as human beings with full rights to control their own lives.
