really really really bad taste. I mean it.

Is it a sign of just how cynical I've gotten that a big part of me is wondering if now Terri Schiavo's parents and their cronies in the religious right who have exploited her for political gain are pissed that she's no longer the biggest death-related news story of the day?

Yes, you're right. The fact that Mother Teresa was against birth control completely invalidates everything else she ever did.

in some ways, it did. what's the point in helping the poor if you're just going to insist they make more poor? and we're not talking one or two kids per poor mother here. if that were the case it might not be such a big deal. mother teresa worked in a community where mothers had LOTS of kids. not such a big deal for rich families, and even desirable in their culture. VERY big deal for middle-class and poor families. having children's the one major life decision you can make that can permanently make you or break you from a financial point of view.

she didn't care. that just blows my mind.
