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.
Well, your article is wrong:
The Catholic Church opposes Plan B not just because it's birth control, but because it considers use of Plan B to be, in Cardinal Egan of New York's words, "a chemical abortion."
And from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:
(Take Note how they call it an abortifactant)
Comments on Proposed FDA Regulations on the Distribution of Emergency Contraceptives
"Even the Catholic Church is uncertain. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops authorizes doctors to offer a rape survivor a drug that blocks ovulation or fertilization "if, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already." According to the Catholic Health Association, most Catholic hospitals interpret this directive liberally, since conception is hard to verify and there's "no direct scientific evidence" that EC blocks implantation."
Your linking to the Comments on Proposed etc which is dated in Oct of 2005.
What I quoted above is more recent.
So which is it?
BTW, the Catholic Church also opposes a man wear a condom even though he is infected with HIV.
Please don't preach to me about murder.
So what? Mine came directly from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops so I am afraid it trumps your website which was not Catholic.
BTW, the Catholic Church also opposes a man wear a condom even though he is infected with HIV.Please don't preach to me about murder.
I will preach to you about murder for two reasons. One, you have openly stated on this forum before you are pro-abortion. Do I have to show that to you again? If a man is infected with HIV, how dare you BLAME the Catholic Church for him spreading the disease!
"Mine came directly from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops..."
In 2005.
The article above quotes them too only the article is dated in August of 2006.
Try again.
"One, you have openly stated on this forum before you are pro-abortion."
Post it.
Again, mine came from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Sorry! You can't trump it.
"If a man is infected with HIV, how dare you BLAME the Catholic Church for him spreading the disease!"
What is their teaching on the use of condoms?
Be right back
An article dated August of 2006 trumps an article in Oct of 2005, get a clue dude.
Oh and a magazine article trumps a report directly from the Catholic Bishops themselves?? It's YOU that needs to get a clue.
The article that is dated in August cites the Catholic Bishops. Did you read it?
Don't bother. I'll link it for you:

I'm pro abortion myself and would still consider myself to be conservative. You are pigeon holing people. 608 posted on 01/31/2006 2:55:19 PM EST by marajade (Yes, I'm a SW freak!) From thread: Broke Back Mountain Gets 8 Oscar Nominations
There you go Marajade. Your confession.
And I defined it in my link above under which circumstances.
BTW, I'm still interested to learn what the Catholic Church teaches about condom use?
Post it. To: MillerCreek Why can't homosexuals be conservatives?

BUMP!!
Lots of conservatives are pro abortion when it comes to rape and incest. Are you saying you are against it?
LOL! That's not the only time you're for it from what I have read here. BTW, I'm Catholic. What do you think?
You tell me. I still want to learn what you say about condom use.
" That's not the only time you're for it from what I have read here."
Really? Again, post it.
Another reason you gave. Medical reasons:
"I believe there are legitimate medical necessary reasons for abortion. 130 posted on 07/22/2006 5:19:03 PM EDT by marajade
