Counter-intuitive but true: Planned Parenthood increases the teen pregnancy rate in the counties in which they operate.
Teen pregnancy rates fall when Planned Parenthood offices are closed.

Obviously, if the ultimate “out” for fornication is removed, there will be less fornication.

Planned Parenthood’s sex education arm pushes FOR teen sexual promiscuity. SIECUS considers orgasm a birthright to be enjoyed at every age. It is the sex positive agenda. They are against abstinence because it is counter to their hedonist worldview (if it feels good, do it).

websites like positive.org encourage teens to “just say yes” because too many fuddy duddies tell them to say “no” to “stuff”.

Your tax dollars have been funding this agenda in academia, health care, government. The UN also pushes it.

Not so obviously, and certainly not widely accepted, according to the most studied theologians of the past 50 years, abortion is the fruit of birth control.

Birth control is actually the ultimate ‘out’ for fornication, even within, and especially within, marriages.

Objectification

Many years ago I had a series of conversations with an elderly Roman Catholic Monseigneur. One of my take-aways was his statement, "with birth control there is neither birth nor control."

Whatever you subsidize, you get more of. And the reverse is true, too.

Too bad that the only people who will read this article have already figured this out.

I expect the "teen pregnancy rate" would be even smaller if they subtracted the married mothers under age 20.

It's reasonable to assume that these locales had other sources of contraceptives and maybe even other abortion facilities. It's possible, as the author suggests, that the key change was the elimination of Planned Parenthood propaganda in the schools.

Objectification.

"God made you wrong: sex with you results in babies." No wonder so many women are depressed.

They’re depressed, they’re on drugs and marriages are failing, since this all started, at a rate never before seen.

People blame now fault divorce. For a 50% fail rate. NO way.

Causes and effects can be hard to sort out. Marriage has always been difficult, because people are difficult, but it used to be natural.

Studies show that people (Catholics) who do not practice birth control for religious reasons have a one (That’s 1)% chance of divorce.

Many, if not half, of those are marriages that were at one time troubled and the sample will talk about the problem with BC.

So, I am not trying to guess.

It comes from the true situation.

It can be a very inconvenient fact, but it is a fact.
There is an extensive theological study on this written in 1968. It predicted all of the difficulties we are having. Abortion is listed as a difficulty, not a causative factor.

Out of wedlock pregnancies, amorality in media, porn addiction, immodest dress, objectification of women, disrespect for mother hood.

“They’re depressed, they’re on drugs and marriages are failing, since this all started, at a rate never before seen. People blame now fault divorce. For a 50% fail rate. NO way.”

The divorce rate must be falling, as post-Christian Americans don’t even bother getting married anymore. The falling birthrate is probably more of an indication of economic collapse than people suddenly getting morality.

Okay. I think it makes a difference that we're talking about a self-selected group of people who are deeply committed to doing the right thing, no matter how difficult it is.

That’s right. And they, many of them, had problems that were leading to divorce that were not solvable eithout getting rid of birth control

The next question is not writing them off as devout but what is it about birth control that is so destructive.

I don’t know what you mean about a falling

A high rate of cohabitation certainly is not an improvement over a high divorce rate. It’s unstable

From my own experience, I believe that determination and obedience are the absolutely essential factors. And too much pride to be a quitter.
