A good idea, kind of…

     [1]From the SF Examiner
     Experts and therapists attending a conference in The City this
     week, co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, say men who
     have been traumatized by abortion have few places to turn to be
     healed.

     Titled "Reclaiming Fatherhood," the two-day event has been touted
     by organizers as the first of its kind in the country.

     Little research has been conducted exploring the effect of
     abortions on men, conference organizers say.

   First, let me say I have no opinion on abortion. Both sides seem to
   have valid points. Seems to me if the lawmakers hadn't gotten
   involved, it would've been a different issue.

   Anyway, it is nice that somebody is thinking about the other party in
   the situation. It's been all about the woman for far too long.

   Having said that, I still wonder why it is that so many domestic
   violence programs sponsored by Catholic community services are run by
   hardline, "men are pigs, women are idiots" feminists. I don't mean to
   single out the Catholics here - the Episcopalians, Lutherans,
   Baptists, Jews, etc., are just as bad when it comes to DV programs
   they run as part of their larger charitable efforts.

   I guess a little bit of hypocrisy comes with the territory of
   organized religion ;>)
