OK, so I agree that this is horrific,
and that contraception has had many consequences (unintended? by whom?),
but I fail to see the connection here.
I see this as a consequence of the postmodernist (no truth) and materialist worldview being pushed on our young people.
Most do, however, most of our social ills stem from this. Accepting artificial contraception was the starting point in the mass devaluing of life. When a woman was using birth control and got pregnant, the child was then considered unwanted. While this seems a subtle change, a shift in mentality for mothers went from looking at an unintended pregnancy as Gods will to failed contraceptives fault. This allows a subtle shift in the attitude toward that child as a burden instead of an unasked for blessing.
With that sublte shift, the abortion became the solution to that burden, but that created a new set of problems for the mother. What if she didn’t accept abortion as ok? She then had even less recourse. Contraception didn’t work, yet abortion may not be an acceptable alternative. Talk about having negative feelings toward a child. She then tries her best not to blame the child for her feelings, but, its there. The child grows up feeling unloved, hence, the numbness they speak about. Seeing as many of these children come from broken homes, one can only imagine how many of them were unintended pregnancies.
Contraception has allowed women to have sex without fear of pregnancy. It has allowed men to have sex without responsibility. Abortion has solved the failed contraception problem for these people. Is it any wonder why children who survive the gauntlet they run at conception to feel the way they do? How can anyone understand how it feels to grow up in a world that has done everything in its power to prevent or remove them from existence? I am 41 years old. I was born before abortion on demand was legal, and during the contraception revolution in the Catholic Church ( I am Catholic). My children were conceived, and born in a world that considered them a burden to be dealt with or disposed of if inconvenient. I cannot imagine what that must be like. I think our children are crying out to us in so many ways to try and tell us. It is very telling that this is so prevelant among girls. Are they trying to express the anguish they feel subconsiously over the thought that sex is expected, even encouraged in their teenage years? That this is expressed by the unrelenting pressure from boys to do it, educators teaching how to put condoms on bananas, and if all else fails, the school nurse will help them get an abortion without even telling their folks? That it is being broadcast every second of the day how disposable life is and how ok unfettered sex is? Could it be, that the culture of death is finally causing the exact reaction that it should? The incredible pressures on teens today to fit into an agenda that is against everything written on their hearts and consciences?
There are many victims of contraception. The unborn are the most obvious, teenagers are the walking wounded in this abomination.
