The United States government gives these religious organizations in excess of 73 billion dollars worth of tax breaks and subsidies to spread their beliefs like a cancerous tumor.
They are not social services. They do not provide food for the hungry or shelter for the homeless.
The 73 billion in tax revenue would be sufficient to provide food stamps for everybody in my unfortunate country who needed them with enough left over to provide shelter for everybody who needed it.
This is basic arithmetic, not opinion.
Please do not ram your religion down my throat as if it were a box of presweetened children's breakfast cereal or your literal penis.

This has nothing to do with wanting to exploit women's sexual or reproductive labour for my own pleasure.
