Marriage not for procreation? Gay couples could get married in order to adopt children together.

The concept that Thom mentioned of marriage being between a rapist and his victim in Biblical times goes even deeper than he said. There's a part of the Bible that allows a war bride to divorce her husband under some circumstance on the presumption that the husband raped her. So the Bible condones the marriage, and because of the aforementioned presumption, it also condones spousal rape.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
Catholics restrict how paycheck spent?
The Catholic church's restrictions on contraception has been viewed as women's rights, health, or religious issues; but there might be another way of looking at it. I don't know all the particulars and whether this applies; but employer-provided health care is an employee benefit, it's part of an employee's compensation. So, in a way isn't the Catholic church ---based on religious beliefs--- trying to restrict what women can use their compensation/paychecks for?
