The Vatican seems to have nothing better to do than to blame women for polluting the environment and male infertility.
The contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and is in part responsible for male infertility, a report in the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano said Saturday. The pill “has for some years had devastating effects on the environment by releasing tonnes of hormones into nature” through female urine, said Pedro Jose Maria Simon Castellvi, president of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations, in the report.
It’s not enough for the church to have stupid religious reasons against the use of birth control it now feels the need to add quasi scientific motivations to support its arguments. Women peeing is obviously what we should be concentrating our efforts on rather than the tonnes of other environmental threats.
