During a pilgrimage to Rome in 2001, I accompanied a group of families as their chaplain. At the Fumicino airport, all eyes were on the children. One of the parents in the group remarked: "Yes, they would like to look at and admire children but not carry them" Thanks be to God that our moms carried us and here we are.
Pundits and experts argue in favor of freedom in promoting this "Plan B" pill, whose impact will be certainly detrimental to the life within the womb and finally there it is available over the counter. Pity those pharmacists who are coerced to sell them much against their will!
Is it a reflection of promiscuity or loose morals that has crept into our contemporary society. It makes one wonder. Already it has been a herculean task for parents to fight the media from the toll it has had on the morale of teenagers. Now Morning After Pill is the lethal weapon. Who knows who all will use it! But that it will turn the womb into tomb cannot be ruled out.
If all arguments against this morning after pill fail, this story of an agonising parent should be a clarion call to all the advocates of MAP and the future users of this human killer called MAP.
Whoever the advocates may be, teenagers need to be aware that "MAP" is not going to guarantee the safe passage for promiscuity. It's time that we listen to the wisdom of our predecessors that "sex within marriage alone is sacred". Anything else annihilates the very intent of the Creator.
Now that "MAP" is over the counter stuff, maybe they will pave way to a painless infanticide - a silent holocaust. If those who got pregnant would only approach a CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER and see the "life within", perhaps that would change their attitude instead of depending on a quick fix that gives one the comfort and confidence of being "safe": safe from what? Good to ponder.
Can we be at least aware that if our mothers had attempted abortion, all of us would not be alive on this planet earth. May God protect the wombs much against the will of those are out to destroy what the wombs treasure.
HUH? You aren't making any sense! Take two aspirins and call me in the morning.
Pyro, don't listen to her on this. She's been told at least 5 times now the Church's position on this and she still insists on telling exactly the opposite of what they say on the USCCB website:
"Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?" Job 31:15
"Thus saith the Lord that made and formed thee, thy helper from the womb: Fear not, O my servant Jacob, and thou most righteous whom I have chosen." Isaias 44:2
"And now saith the Lord, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I may bring back Jacob unto him, and Israel will not be gathered together: and I am glorified in the eyes of the Lord, and my God is made my strength."Isaias 49:5
Any time there is the possibility that God's creation is being formed in the womb, you have NO right to destroy it with a pill. Try to wiggle your way out of that one Marajade.
Unless its implanted its not in the womb.
Is that suppose to make it okay? Here's something you should know:
Dr. Gene Rudd of the Christian Medical Association, the nation's largest faith- based association of doctors, said in a press release that the FDA’s decision gives a “politically motivated definition of pregnancy” and violates the “violates the crucial medical principle of informed consent”.
“Many women in America would not take it if they realized that it can have the effect of preventing a fertilized ovum--a living human embryo--from implanting in the womb and having a chance to be born, said Dr. Rudd.
Pro-life spokesmen have pointed out that not only does Plan-B act as an “emergency contraceptive” by preventing the release of an egg for fertilization, but that it causes the abortion of an already conceived human embryo by making the womb’s nourishing endometrium hostile to implantation.
I hate to burst your bubble but women regularly release fertilized eggs rather than them being implanted during their menstrual cycles. In fact, more are released than implanted.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you don't seem to know the facts of life. That is not true. What prevents fertilized eggs from being implanted would be health issues or using a drug, like Plan B, LOL.
http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/tgr/08/2/gr080207.html
"Between one-third and one-half of all fertilized eggs never fully implant. A pregnancy is considered to be established only after implantation is complete."
I don't see that the article really proved your point. Implantation can be prevented due to many factors, like drugs, spermicides, health issues, etc.
If those had been the reasons why fertilized eggs had not implanted, 1/3 to 1/2, of them they would have included those reasons, they didn't.
To follow your logic many healthy women are having miscarriages in truly outstanding and huge numbers. I just don't believe that to the case.
Well actually Marajade, that would be more YOUR logic wouldn't it? You're the one that claimed that women are releasing fertilized eggs all on their own every month!
Science says it.
Ok, science says how many fertilized eggs get released each month? Give me an exact figure. I'll be waiting patiently.
Women have about 1,000,000 eggs over a life time. You figure it out.
Women only have about 300 eggs in their reproductive years and according to several sites I visited only 2 are released during ovulation each month, one from each ovary!
"As a woman ages, there are normal changes that occur in her ovaries and eggs. All women are born with over a million eggs in their ovaries (all the eggs that they will ever have), but only have about 300,000 left by puberty. Then of these, only about 300 eggs will be ovulated during the reproductive years. Even though menstrual cycles continue to be regular in a woman's 30s and 40s, the eggs that ovulate each month are of poorer quality than those from her 20s. It is harder to get pregnant when the eggs are poorer in quality."
From the same website:
"As you approach menopause, your ovaries don't respond as well to your hormones, and in time they may not release an egg each month."
So what's your point?
What's yours in relation to stopping a life that God creates? Please, pray tell give me your answer because you never have.
We can keep posting websites giving various points of data, but when it gets right down to the nitty gritty and that egg is fertilized and is getting ready to be implanted, but Plan B stops it.. what right does anyone have to prevent that from happening?
