Plan B... What Next?
Episcoblog ^ | 8/25/20 | Bp. Leo Michael

Posted on 08/26/2006 6:12:08 PM PDT by sionnsar

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.

With the "plan b" pills available for sale without prescription to the 18 and older -

I imagine that this will suddenly develop into a thriving black market item to the teen age girls.

You mean like drugs, alcohol, and cigaretts?

There's more to worry about like murder, burglarly, rape, and robbery.

I didn't say I was worried about it.

Look at my tag line. I think this would fall under the general heading of "matters of doubt". (smile)

I really do think that there's really too much being made about this.

Well there are a lot of folks that think that morals can be legislated and it just doesn't work.

It won't even be black market. How do teenage girls get into R-rated movies now? Or have beer? Clerks don't care or someone buys it for them.

Oh..so what you're telling us that young ladies under the age of 18 years old having sex is to be of no concern to us? Just turn our heads, shut up and mind our own business?

What do you want us to do? Arrest them and put them in jail?

Don't answer my question with a question. Answer me please. Do you want us to just shut up and turn our heads when kids are having pre-marital sex?

I think the more critical issue would be if people should just shut up and turn their heads when priests are getting off after sexually molesting minor male children.

No, that shouldn't happen either. You can try and use that as a smoke screen to get away from the issue all you want Marajade, but it won't work with me. STICK with the issue. Are you for girls below the age of 18 years old having pre-marital sex? Do you think we should just shut up and turn our heads?

This article isn't about girls under the age of 18 having premarital sex.

This article is about the use of the Plan B pill. And guess what? In some states, marriage can happen under age 18 legally.

Excuse me, but you made a comment to someone earlier in the thread about young girls and this pill. Teenagers WERE mentioned in the article too. Read it again.

This article is about the use of the Plan B pill. And guess what? In some states, marriage can happen under age 18 legally.

But Marajade, you scolded a Freeper here in post #5 telling them that there was more important things to be worried about than this pill being sold black market to teenaged girls. You didn't mention any "married" teen-agers in that post did ya now?

I'm mentioning it now, feel better?

BTW, why do you assume that every teenage girl under the age of 18 is having premarital sex? And why are you associating with the use of the Plan B pill?

Winston2 was in agreement with me in that post.

Please stop beating around the bush and answer my question. If you want to play games, I don't have time for it. I'd rather talk to someone who is serious about dialogue.

It's none of my business if they are of age.
