I have never known a priest to pass out birth control pills.

Where are you getting this mistaken information?

[firebrand]

Thanks.

[Syncro]

I saved it

I believe I have it on my computer, I’ll dig it up later

[caww]

Good..thanks!

[Elsie]

It’s killing our high school kids. You’re in favor of that?

CHOICE is killing about 3,300 every day. You’re in favor of that?

[Elsie]

It was DESIGNED to be!

There is more than ONE elephant in the room.

[Elsie]

... our path to self-destruction.

New numbers Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that drug overdoses killed more than 70,000 Americans in 2017, a record.

However; based on the latest state-level data available, Guttmacher reports that approximately
  885,000 abortions took place in the United States in 2016,
  913,000 abortions in 2015.

 

0.93 million in 2014,
1.06 million in 2011,
1.21 million in 2008,
1.20 million in 2005,
1.29 million in 2002,
1.31 million in 2000,
1.36 million in 1996.

 

 From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred in the U.S (AGI).

 

So we ARE making progress in the CHOICE industry.

 

But it is STILL more than 10 times as many needless deaths as the fentanyl problem.

I’m pro-life.

[Elsie]

I was pretty sure that you are.

The abortions are going down, and the March for Life is more and more massive year by year.

The fentanyl and other drug problem is getting worse, however, and spreading like a plague as desperate people spot the easy money for doing basically nothing. It’s probably already out of control without very strong measures being taken.

The kids are so vulnerable in their teens, trying to find their place socially and personally, and they fall for these attractive and seemingly popular dealers who promise them what they think they need—and then the drugs if they want the rest. There’s a special place in my heart for kids of this age. I don’t know why. I’m almost in tears when the high school marching bands go by. Ok, I’m nuts.

None of this doesn’t mean I don’t care about the unborn. I have been on that one for the past 48 years.

[Elsie]

It’s probably already out of control without very strong measures being taken.

Indeed, but 'strong measures' hasn't seemed to help any of our other problems.

Prohibition was a bust; we STILL kill thousands by drunk driving.

[firebrand]

We haven’t seen strong measures yet.
