According to a report, federal stimulus money is being used to assist Planned Parenthood in opening an office on Main Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Whatever became of President Obama's decision to disallow a "family planning provision" from the economic stimulus package? See here.
There is outrage. Even as local pastors remain silent.
It was Father Paul Marx, writing in October, 1976, who said: "The gigantic worldwide struggle between pro-life and anti-life forces revolves ultimately around the nature, meaning, and purpose of human sexuality. So all-pervasive is sexuality in the human personality that even the slightest change in emphasis in attitudes toward it will profoundly affect both society and the individual....Widespread contraception is the gateway to abortion, which is not "one" issue, as so many have been brainwashed to believe." (The Wanderer, October 28, 1976).
The Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes) No. 27 instructs us that, "..whatever is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others of their like are infamies indeed. They poison human society, but they do more harm to those who practice them than those who suffer from the injury. Moreover, they are supreme dishonor to the Creator."
