I bet you are really bored of my “Call the Midwife” posts.
But guess what. I don’t care. It interests me. This week was very insightful and
something we could talk about. Because the episode is right on point with the
Supreme Court decision today.
The big reveal this week was that the birth control pill had
finally come to socialized medicine in England. The pervy doctor who seduced a
nun away from the convent was all excited about peddling birth control to all
the people in the East End. He is especially happy to
give it to the unmarried people so they can go out and screw indiscriminately.
And the British Socialized Medicine will pay for it Sandra Fluke. Imagine that.
Opposite him is Sister Julienne the head of the Convent. Who
wants him to stop for a minute and think about the effect this will have on the
family and the community. That maybe this might not be a good thing. That maybe
we should look to religion and associate sexuality with marriage and committed
relationships instead of fumbling in the convent hallway. Which happened with
one of the nerdy nurses and the randy pervy priest who is working his way
through the nurse population like a less murderous Richard Speck. Sister
Julienne thinks that maybe they should not be peddling contraceptives as
members of a religious order. Think of her as the Little Sisters of the Poor.
