So um yeah... the Church does not teach that women are objects.
That's nice, dear. However, you have no authority, to tell us what women are in the eyes of god:
I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.(1 Timothy 2:12 )
Your little outburst has been noted, but disregarded. Thanks for your time.

Do I really need to make the case for duress?
Probably not. But it would be fun to hear it anyway.
I have no idea if this is true or not, but ..
Could it be that the catholic church places a greater premium on the life of an unborn child than the grown girl who carries it - because that child might be male? (I'm guessing it probably doesn't come right out and say as much in the catholic bible.)
