Jamie Stiehm Makes Former Ku Klux Klan Speaker Margaret Sanger Proud

It is over, fans.  It is over.  The contest for the most bigoted, anti-Catholic column of 2014 has already been won.

And the winner is....Jamie Stiehm ( on Twitter) .  The bigots who printed her drivel work at US News & World Report.  Don' be surprised if Jamie Stiehm follows in the footsteps of her idol Margaret Sanger and soon starts giving anti-Catholic rants at KKK rallies. 

The column in question:  The Catholic Supreme Court’s War on Women .  Below, a few excerpts:

*****

Et tu, Justice Sonia Sotomayor? Really, we can't trust you on women's health and human rights? The lady from the Bronx just dropped the ball on American women and girls as surely as she did the sparkling ball at midnight on New Year's Eve in Times Square. Or maybe she's just a good Catholic girl.

 The Supreme Court is now best understood as the Extreme Court. One big reason why is that six out of nine Justices are Catholic. Let's be forthright about that. (The other three are Jewish.) Sotomayor, appointed by President Obama, is a Catholic who put her religion ahead of her jurisprudence. What a surprise, but that is no small thing.

 In a stay order applying to an appeal by a Colorado nunnery, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Justice Sotomayor undermined the new Affordable Care Act's sensible policy on contraception. She blocked the most simple of rules – lenient rules – that required the Little Sisters to affirm their religious beliefs against making contraception available to its members. They objected to filling out a one-page form. What could be easier than nuns claiming they don't believe in contraception?

 Sotomayor's blow brings us to confront an uncomfortable reality. More than WASPS, Methodists, Jews, Quakers or Baptists, Catholics often try to impose their beliefs on you, me, public discourse and institutions. Especially if "you" are female...

****

The seemingly innocent Little Sisters likely were likely not acting alone in their trouble-making. Their big brothers, the meddlesome American Roman Catholic Archbishops are bound to be involved. They seek and wield tremendous power and influence in the political sphere. Big city mayors know their penchant for control all too well. Their principal target for years on end has been squelching women and girls – even when they should have focused on their own men and boys.

 In one stroke with ominous implications, there's no such thing as Catholic justice or mercy for women on the Supreme Court, not even from a woman. The rock of Rome refuses to budge on women's reproductive rights and the Supreme Court is getting good and ready to strike down Roe v. Wade, which became the law of the land 40 years ago. President Clinton had it exactly right in his formulation: abortion should be safe, legal and rare....

******

The whole thing is a crazy, ugly mess written by an abhorrent ignoramus.  You can read the entire thing over at Freerepublic:  The Catholic Supreme Court’s War on Women.  And know that somewhere in Hell, Margaret Sanger is smiling.
