Another drug, RU486, is utilized up to the 9th to 12th week of gestation to initiate the spontaneous abortion of a growing baby. As far as safety is concerned, complete cardiovascular collapse and death immediately following administration of RU486 has been reported in the European medical literature.
One should not confuse contraception and abortion, regardless of his position on the subject. Even the most atheistic embryologist must admit that human life begins at conception. What else could it possibly be but human life?
Ask any expectant mother what it is they carry in their womb and they will tell you it's a baby. It does not require Divine revelation to arrive at this conclusion. Often the wisdom of the simple and lowly is far greater than that of the self-anointed elite.
When contraception is accepted by society as a way of life and those contraceptives fail, what happens? A pregnancy occurs. But how do we now correct this "failure?" In 1987 the United States Supreme Court admitted that a society that contracepts must have abortion available as the consequence of widespread contraception.
Fifty percent of women obtaining abortions today were contracepting when they became pregnant. No country in the twentieth century has accepted widespread contraception without legalizing abortion within one to three decades.
Abortion follows the contraceptive mentality as night follows day. They are both fruits of the same tree of rejection of traditional Judeo-Christian morality.
This fact is unpopular even with some pro-life advocates. But the logic cannot be denied. Abortion will never be defeated until the contraceptive mentality from which it grows is replaced with the consent of the will to the wisdom of God's laws.
Finally, for those married couples with a serious reason to limit or space pregnancies, the Catholic Church supports the most effective, cheapest, and safest method known to modern science.
The Sympto-thermal method of Natural Family Planning, not to be confused with the unreliable rhythm method, has been proven to be 95 to 99% effective.
An article in the British Medical Journal of March 1993 entitled "Natural Family Planning: Effective Birth Control Supported by the Catholic Church," states:
Increasingly studies show that rates equivalent to those with other contraceptive methods are readily achieved . . . Indeed, a [World Health Organization] study of 19843 poor women in India had a pregnancy rate approaching zero [99.2%] . . . whatever the standpoint there is no doubt that it would be more efficient for the ongoing world debate on overpopulation, resources, environment, poverty, and health to be conducted against a background of truth rather than fallacy. It is therefore important that the misconception that Catholicism is synonymous with ineffective birth control is laid to rest. Understanding the simple facts about the signs of fertility confers considerable power to couples to control their fertility, for achieving as well as preventing conception. [Emphasis added.]
Unfortunately, the multi billion dollar contraception and abortion industry would suffer greatly from just such knowledge in the hands of couples. Therefore, they and their advocates have a vested interest in keeping the knowledge of the effectiveness of Natural Family Planning from the masses who would otherwise buy their products. Thus, the derision of the Catholic Church and her teachings continues.
Once I teach a woman the art of Natural Family Planning, I may never see her again. There is no monetary gain for me. I will never get paid for an office visit to renew a prescription or a surgical fee to implant a device. But I have given her a power, an independence, a freedom of choice she will never receive in a contraception or abortion clinic. And what greater price is there to pay for the mistake of an unplanned pregnancy than to become the victim of the abortionist. Nothing an "anti-abortion extremist" could say or do to a woman compares to this act of violence against a woman's body, against her very nature as a bearer of life. And as victims of the lie and violence that is abortion, these women need our love, aid, and prayers, not our scorn. Many pro-life organizations across America, such as the nondenominational Mom's House, Inc. of Johnstown, PA, exist to help prevent women from becoming victims of unplanned pregnancy and abortion.
Many have tried to censor us and prevent the teachings of the Catholic Church from being heard over the centuries. The Ku Klux Klan was first established in America in the 1840s not to persecute blacks or Jews but to keep Catholics out of government. They used many lies and distortions and played on the fears of an ignorant population of an impending undemocratic catholic theocracy. Until the twentieth century it was illegal to build a Roman Catholic church in the state of New Jersey. Hitler tried to eliminate the Judeo Christian heritage by killing millions of Jews and hundreds of thousands of Catholic priests, brothers, and nuns, Protestant ministers, and laity. At least as many Ukrainian Catholics starved to death at the hands of the communist dictators as Jews died during the same period in Hitler's death camps. Many others languished and died in the communists' gulags. The Chinese try to eliminate us by coerced sterilization and abortion and by forcing the true Catholic Church underground. The persecution and killing of Christians in Moslem countries are increasing at an alarming rate. There are words for these actions and attitudes: bigotry, ignorance, intolerance, and hatred.
Our right to engage in the democratic process as voting citizens of this country cannot be denied. For the pro-abortionist or atheist to say that our ideas have no place in public discourse or public policy is to attempt to deny our fundamental rights. It is a very dangerous and un-American individual who tries to censor or eliminate views other than his own from the marketplace of public opinion.
When anti-Catholicism rears its ugly head, it reveals that Satan knows the right address, attacking "the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Timothy 3:15)." But God will not be silenced. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Those firmly entrenched in the "Culture of Death" who criticize us within the "Culture of Life" will continue in their efforts. We will pray for them.
May the God of Mercy bless them and illuminate their darkened intellects.
