2) A document I hope you can support: As you know, I work with a Church Task Force, a small group of veteran pro-life leaders who seek strategies with potential to end legal abortion. I hope to place in your hands rather soon a document I have drafted to the clergy of our nation, in conjunction with the Church Task Force projects. Please read the document when it arrives by email, as a PDF attachment. If you will please, print out the document and decide if you can support it by authorizing me to add your name to a list of lay pro-life leaders who agree with its message. Support from other lay leaders will encourage clergy to thoughtfully assess the content. The message is respectful and must be read in total to be valued. If you disagree with what I have written, I will not fault you in any way.
3) Please Let me Live will gift to Life Chain Coordinators our printing rights: At www.NationalLifeChain.org, under “Pamphlets,” you will find the pamphlets PLML has published. They include America Must Decide (about 11 million copies are in print), What the Facts Reveal about Planned Parenthood, and Contraception: The Tragic Deception. PLML will grant duplication rights to pro-life ministries whose local printer will print copies for local distribution. We ask only that you not sell the copies and that you (or you and fellow ministries) distribute the copies. This is PLML’s way of helping “get out the message” of Life. What the Facts Reveal about Planned Parenthood, for example, is a perfect fit for campaigns to “Defund Planned Parenthood.” If you are interested in our free printing rights, kindly let me know.
Contraception and Abortion
The literary theme “Matters are often not what they appear to be” applies well to the writer’s call for “an intense campaign on contraception” in his letter “Abortion should be legal but rare,” A-D 6-22-11.
What has the “age of contraception” (1950-2011) produced in the U.S.? Illegiti-macy rose from 4% to over 40%, as cohabitation rose 12 fold. STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) rose exponentially until 1 in 4 Americans were infected. Abortions increased over 1000%, and unwed teen pregnancies soared, as did divorces and single-parent homes. To paraphrase the prophet Hosea, our culture sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
Contraception’s bonded partner is abortion, as the U.S. Supreme Court firmly concluded in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern PA v. Casey. Contraception coerced our culture to both accept and sustain Roe v. Wade. Additionally, researchers tell us that private chemical abortions from failed birth controls probably exceed the more than 50 million surgical abortions on record.
Modern “family planning” ideology and practices (of Planned Parenthood, etc.) are leading causes of the very epidemics they pretend to confront, as much data confirms. Following congressional passage of Title X in 1972, Professor of economics and statistics Dr. Jacqueline Kasun informed America that for every million tax dollars given to family planners, an additional 2,000 adolescent pregnancies were occurring two years later. Dr. Stan Weed’s research confirmed that as family planning centers increased in number, so did unwed pregnancies and abortions. For adults to equip youth with contraception is grievous and proven folly.
