The Bishops Take on Planned Parenthood

Responding to Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards' pre-packaged line of attack against the Church ("the bishops opposes emergency contraception," blah blah blah...), Richard Doerflinger nicely outlines the position of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, offering much-needed clarity to a situation clouded by misinformation.
The Catholic Church has done more to fight AIDS in Africa than Planned Parenthood has. Planned Parenthood doesn’t want people to know that hormonal contraception has actually been associated with an increased risk of contracting AIDS. It has nothing to do with preventing AIDS, something to do with making it worse.
