"Yeah, too bad about that." --MSM
In 1968, Planned Parenthood and the MSM lied about how "the pill" would liberate women.
In 1968, someone else told the truth.
Consequences of Artificial Methods17. Responsible men can become more deeply convinced of the truth of the doctrine laid down by the Church on this issue if they reflect on the consequences of methods and plans for artificial birth control. Let them first consider how easily this course of action could open wide the way for marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards. Not much experience is needed to be fully aware of human weakness and to understand that human beings—and especially the young, who are so exposed to temptation—need incentives to keep the moral law, and it is an evil thing to make it easy for them to break that law. Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.
Birth control is like a gun: It grants power, but is itself not good nor bad. It depends on how the power is wielded in the hands of a human.
I just had a college class where Margaret Sanger was presented as a saint. I asked the students about Sanger and genocide. They denied it. During the break I gathered some quotations and the photo of Sanger speaking to the KKK. The whole class was disgusted over the quotations and the photo.
Then I read them a quotation from Jesse Jackson about abortion being unthinkable. They did not know the author. Then I told them. It made quite an impression.
What is scary is the next generation is even going to be more nuts.
Good point--and the results came out almost exactly as Humanae Vitae said...
One of the biggest eye-opening experiences of my life was to read Humanae Vitae after reading a wonderful article by Janet Smith. That little Pope could read the future... probably because he studied the past. God bless Pope Paul VI.

In a leftist world, brutality is power.
