I remember after the bosnian war, there was an issue of the previous pope saying that morning after pills should not be allowed for rape cases. The morning afterpill is given within 72 hours of being raped. What I usually wonder is... Is the pope a good judge when it comes of the issues of women, sexual health, abuse etc. He does not have a daughter, or a wife, it has been decades sicne he has lived with his mother, so would the plight of women really affect him as much as it affects the fathers and husbands and children of these women who are raped, harrassed and are expected to happily raise the children of their rapers? Can you force the poor little girls to bear the burdon of animals? As a human being regardless of any religion, I would expect him to jump up and down to help them with any means. Including the pill. When I see the suffering of AIDS victims, the women and children of Africa, suffering for mostly something they have no fault with, I would say, by the grace of God, please give whatever power to the other women to use Condoms if it may help them not to be in the same situation. I couldn't imagine seeing my sister, my daughter or my mother suffering like that so if condom will protect or give them a chance to avoid this, I will say Yes Yes Yes to rubber, agains all my strict relegion stand (teaching). Given the reallity of Africa, I would have expected the catholic church as an institution and a pope individually to make the exception....well why is the religeious stand so important the the life of this poor people? I Wonder....
