Planed Parenthood has launched a campaign to motivate all of its members and supporters, nominal Catholics and non-Catholics, to send letters to the editor, requesting that Pope Benedict XVI reconsider his “backward views” and change his opinion on sexual morality.

Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

"be able to have their adult boyfriends transport them across state lines to have abortions."

Isn't this called statutory rape? I thought this was illegal and punishable by time spent in prison. Now they are making it legal for the guy to drive her over state lines to have an abortion?

This would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

"Your name is Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, until, of course, Planned Parenthood starts writing letters to the NY Times".

Yep, that'll do it.

What they don't want you to know.

Are condoms a greater health risk than the std's they don't really protect against?

It is politically correct to advocate condoms but every day the evidence increases that they do little to protect and may pose a very serious health risk. It is hard for the CDC and FDA to examine these risks as they have been so vocal in promoting condoms but could their silence lead to dire consequences. I for one having done exaustive research strongly feel so.

"...... new concerns are arising regarding allergic or other toxic reactions to various components of latex condoms such as vulcanization accelerators, latex proteins, spermicides and finishing powders."

"* Studies are needed to evaluate the best lubricants to use in the manufacture of condoms. Evidence suggests that the right quantity, type and placement of lubricant is important for condom functionality, acceptability and safety.

In addition, the added value and risk presented by spermicidal lubricants and by dry finishing powders (e.g. talc or cornstarch) should be critically examined."

"Since the late 1980s the reported incidence
of allergy to natural rubber latex has increased dramatically, as much as 12 -fold."

"Latex allergy is incurable, although the symptoms, such as itching, soreness, painful blistering, runny noses, swollen eyes, asthma symptoms and anaphylaxis can be ameliorated.

Everyone who has contact wi th natural rubber latex is potentially at risk from sensitisation.

Both patients and health care workers can be at risk from allergic reactions to natural rubber latex. Over the past decade, allergic reactions to natural
rubber latex have become a major public health concern."

" Once a person has developed latex allergy, however mild, they are “sensitised” to latex and are at risk from severe allergic reactions."

"Delayed cell-mediated reactions are the most common form of hypersensitivity reaction to natural rubber latex. These reactions are to individual chemical residues from the production process such as accelerants used in the vulcanisation process which is required to strengthen the product.

The residual chemicals may bloo on the surface of the products and can be absorbed through the skin upon contact."

"Potent Carcinogen found in Most Condoms

Recent study has discovered the presence of a very potent carcinogen in most condoms. Small amounts of this chemical are released whenever condoms are used.

Nobody knows whether this is serious yet however it is not likely to be healthy to expose the reproductive organs to cancer-causing substances on a regular basis.

This is a potentially serious issue for much of the world's population that cannot afford or access other forms of birth control. I hope further studies will follow on this soon. Could this be related to the rise in cancer in women, and men as well? "

"Talc...(on condoms)...may result in fallopian tube fibrosis with resultant infertility. Question raised by Doctors Kasper and Chandler in Journal of the American Medical Association. (JAMA) 3/15/95
-from Nutrition Health Review, Summer 1995 n73p8(1)"

"A possible tie between talcum powder and ovarian cancer, long suspected because of talc's chemical similarity to asbestos, was strongly supported last week when a study found a higher risk of the cancer among women who used feminine deodorant sprays. The study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that women who used talcum powder in the genital area had an increased ovarian cancer risk of 60% and women who used feminine deodorant sprays had a 90% increased risk."

-from The University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter, April 1993 v9n7p1

"Benzene. In addition to the effect on fertility, some researchers believe overexposure to chemicals may also contribute to testicular cancers. In fact, a 2000 study concluded that there was a link between sperm abnormalities and testicular cancer.
Among the study participants, men in couples with fertility problems were more likely to develop testicular cancer. In addition, low semen concentration, poor sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology were all associated with increased risk for testicular cancer."

"a recent Lancet study (2002;360:971-977) found frequent use may in fact increase the risk of HIV transmission.
The head of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organizations, Don Baxter, said up to 10 percent of condoms sold in Australia include nonoxynol-9 as a lubricant. "Not a high percentage of condoms use nonoxynol-9, it's usually a particular brand, but they are fairly widely available," he said. Baxter advised all gay men to avoid using condoms with nonoxynol-9 and said AFAO would call for the product to be withdrawn from pharmacy shelves. "

New US government website attacked for comments on sexuality and effectiveness of condoms

The wording of information about condoms on the site is also potentially misleading (they mean factual). US abstinence education programmes usually only mention condoms when referring to their potential for failure.

The 4parents.com site suggests that condoms offer only “moderate” protection against HIV and gonorrhoea, “less” protection against Chlamidya, herpes and human papilloma virus, and that the ability of condoms to protect against syphilis “has not been well studied.” Although these claims are backed by reference to studies looking at the effectiveness of condoms, they do not acknowledge that the studies were, almost exclusively, conducted in populations with a high prevalence, or risk of sexually transmitted infections.


____

The rest of the article (attacking the new semi honest official statements on condoms) is a pathetic attempt to defend condoms citing the one and only study (if you can call it that) conducted over twelve years ago that claimed that condoms reduced 'AIDS' in the 132 couples studied. As usual the 'conclusions' section of that report which said 'in real world use condoms failed up to 32% of the time' was ignored.

This study has been contradicted by ALL the 400 subsequent studies almost without exception.

The stance of Planned Parenthood is quite expected. Anyway, the Catholic Church has stood up to such famous despots in history like Hitler, Lein, Stalin and Mao Tse Tung and look what happened to them compared to what happened to the Catholic Church.

I do feel that some change might be considered by the Church. Particularly, they might consider changing their opposition to birth control.

The Catholic Church supports natural family planning. Artificial birth control was banned by ALL christian faiths up until the Lambreth Conference in the 1930's.

I don't think there are many American Catholics who believe in that position, and probably not that many around the world.

"18. It can be foreseen that this teaching will perhaps not be easily received by all: Too numerous are those voices -- amplified by the modern means of propaganda -- which are contrary to the voice of the Church. To tell the truth, the Church is not surprised to be made, like her divine Founder, a "sign of contradiction",[22] yet she does not because of this cease to proclaim with humble firmness the entire moral law, both natural and evangelical. Of such laws the Church was not the author, nor consequently can she be their arbiter; she is only their depositary and their interpreter, without ever being able to declare to be licit that which is not so by reason of its intimate and unchangeable opposition to the true good of man. "
HUMANAE VITAE

Birth control is wrong because it prevents potential life, and is thus sort of like murder, and furthermore "unnatural"?

Many forms of artifical birth control prevent implantation of a fertilized ovum. That would be murder.

Contrary to what the mainstream media has fed us over the past few decades regarding 'overpopulation', thanks to artifical birth control and abortion, the world is now facing a reverse crisis - underpopulation.

"The UNPD projects that world fertility rate will drop to 2.05 children per woman by 2050.  That means human beings will cease to have enough children to reproduce themselves.  In other words, the continued existence of the human race will be threatened.  "Fertility levels in the 44 developed countries, which account for 19 per cent of the world population, are currently very low," says the UNPD's 2004 World Population Prospects report.  "All except Albania have fertility below replacement level and 15, mostly located in Southern and Eastern Europe, have reached levels of fertility unprecedented in human history (below 1.3 children per woman)."

"As a consequence of the lack of children, a dramatic increase in the number of the aged will occur.  "In developed countries, 20 per cent of today's population is aged 60 years or over and by 2050 that proportion is projected to be 32 per cent.  The elderly population in developed countries has already surpassed the number of children (persons aged 0-14) and by 2050 there will be 2 elderly persons for every child," the UNPD reports.  "In the developing world, the proportion of the population aged 60 or over is expected to rise from 8 per cent in 2005 to close to 20 per cent by 2050."  Who is going to take care of all these old people?  Who will pay their medical bills?  Given the advance of the culture of death, mass euthanasia could be the solution."

This is exposed on the website: http://www.ldi.org -- Life Dynamics. [Link below]. They made 800 phone calls with a young woman with a very young voice pretending to be 13 and asking Planned Parenthood for help in getting an abortion for her baby from a 22 year old boyfriend.

Not only did Planned Parenthood give her advice on this, they also gave the "13 year old" (actually older but posed as 13) help on lying to her parents.

The link is:

Life Dynamics website -- http://www.ldi.org

The article is about 1/2 down the webpage -- it is from 2002. No prosecutions have been filed against Planned Parenthood, and they still receive Federal Funding as well as funding from the United Way.

Consumer Reports did a review on condoms, and Planned Parenthood brands were the worst ones -- probably likely to break and require the person to get an abortion (which they may want since they run abortion clinics and make big dollars off of them).

God bless.

Sounds like an excerpt from the movie Animal House just before they use their nuclear option...

Hmmm... When the Senate uses the Nuclear option, maybe some of the floor debate should be about government funding of Planned Parenthood and the evils of Planned Parenthood. And maybe a few good words from our President on this subject...

I think the Catholic Church could drop this and strengthen itself. Maybe especailly in Africa, where it seems like brith control would be especially important, with so much poverty.

Africa really doesn't have that problem. It is the immorality of the men that got Africa into so much trouble.

The spread of AIDS was caused by the men having sex with so many different women. If the morality of a husband and wife (and sex with no other partners), Africa would not have their AIDS crisis.

AIDS is so bad in Africa that the life expectancy is dropping into the 50s.

Having said that, if the 40+ million babies aborted since 1973 were alive today, there would be no Social Security problem. Many of them would have started having children...

So there could be 50 million Americans that are not here today that should be just because abortion was legalized. That would be 50 million Americans to take of aging Americans that are not here.

I have friends with large families and they are the best people to be around (and their wonderful children!)

But this 'sister', kowtowed to the altar of PC-ness, instead of the altar of the Lord. She decided she was in the 'pick-n-choose line', instead of 'the infallible Word of God line'.

No. You are probably right. I have a friend who claimed about the year 2000 that Sister Helen Prejean was writing a very ultra-feminist book that was anti-Catholic church as a follow on to Dead Man Walking.

I heard of her going to give a talk at a Call to Action conference. I wrote her bishop to try to stop her as well as the bishop's former Archbishop. I don't know if it stopped her from going, but at least I tried to raise a fuss about it.

She is probably more a Hollywood nun than a real nun (and has lots of support from Hollywood).
