Since the Catholic church has been unable to mandate women’s healthcare reproductive rights using the ballot box in the state of Washington, they’ve brought out their big guns: check books.

It’s sort of like the selfish boy on the playground who owns the only ball and says, “Play by my rules or go to another playground.”
