This is why religion has no place in our lives.

Yesterday I read an article that made me so sad, A woman who had gone into a Hospital in Ireland was refused a medical abortion because Ireland is "catholic country" , So what you say it's the Dr's right to refuse treatment based on his religion?

Does that opinion change if I mention that mother present with bleeding and a was diagnosed as having a miscarriage?  Fully dilated and leaking amniotic fluid and bleeding?  Still the Dr's right to refuse.  How about if I tell you that after 2 and a half days the babies heartbeat finally stopped and she was then operated on?

How about if the mother then dies because she became infected with septicaemia?

All of this could have been avoided and a woman would still be alive if they had just done the damn medical abortion it was a NON VIABLE pregnancy, their failure to act cost a woman her life.

This is just one of the many reason I think that religion has no place in our lives these days when religion comes before lives this have gone fucking wrong, this woman who sadly lost her life wasn't even Catholic but their religious beliefs came before her health, What is wrong with religion that they can let a woman die for the sake of their beliefs?

This is just one of the reasons I turned my back on organised religion, a world run by men who think they know what it is like to be a woman and therefore should have a say on what we should and shouldn't do with our bodies.  

I also don't think that it is the Catholic Churches place to teach morality when they don't practise what they preach.  When they practise morality in such cases as child sexual abuse at the hands of their clergymen and give them straight over to the police to investigate instead of closing ranks around them and protecting them from arrest then maybe they can preach morality.

Maybe when they admit they are and were wrong on many things they can preach morality.  I don't need organised religion to tell me what is moral I know that already I know it's wrong to deny some one medical treatment because of YOUR religious beliefs, I know it's wrong to protect child sex offenders, yet they get away with this stuff and have done for such a long time.

There was a case a number of years ago where a 14 year old girl became pregnant with TWINS after being sexually abused by her step father, the safest recourse for this poor girl was an abortion so to try and stop it from happening the Catholic Church ex communicated the Dr's, mother and nurses from the church.  The man who did this terrible thing nope he gets to still be a member of the church.

There are so many more reason these are just a few until the churches admit they are wrong and move on with the rest of the world they will soon become obsolete and personally speaking I hope that happens soon.
