Hm...Hey N - sorry I am just reading this post now. Hmm...yes, my blog roll is definitely not expansive and I will be the 1st to say not a good representative of all things orthodox Catholic, etc. But here is my $0.02 about the situation. I applaud Rep Akin for his belief in no abortion, no exemptions never. No problem there. But I do think his statement about a "legitimate" rape and a women's body knowing what to do to protect against a pregnancy in cases of illegitimate rapes (as if we should even be distinguishing between the 2) - well that is sheer lunacy and seriously - did he take a basic biology course? I saw his taped apology and I thought it was heartfelt, but it still doesn't make up for the fact that he stuck his foot in his mouth big time and honestly if the goal is to unseat the current incumbent, Akin should have stepped out of the way and let someone else take up the pro-life cause. Sorry you didn't find much more out there in the blogosphere. And you know how much I love discussing anything political if there is any chance of anyone being offended or put off. NOT! LOL!

That said, because it only prevent ovulation, and not implantation, it is not 100% foolproof. There is a narrow window between the release of an egg and its fertilitization. If you take Plan B after that, it won't prevent pregnancy. <br /><br />Also, a lot of women are traumatized by rape and do not seek medical attention. In other words, not every gets Plan B when they should. <br /><br />I think your point about male circumcision is excellent. I will not, however, hold my breath for Catholic activism on this, and we only seem to care about religious liberty when it affects us.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142148409377062792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637074297392299862.post-21541313060010700162012-08-27T22:00:50.986-07:002012-08-27T22:00:50.986-07:00littlecatholicbubble.blogspot.com/2012/08/an-afric...littlecatholicbubble.blogspot.com/2012/08/an-african-womans-open-letter-to.html?showComment=1345699303032&m=0#c2158704374023330804JoAnna Wahlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09942928659520676271noreply@blogger.com
