The Pro-Choice Lie

Everybody likes to have choices in life, whether they are financial, personal or business-related.  Having a choice is a good thing – and this is precisely what the pro-death faction plays upon when promoting their agenda of death.  The one thing you’ll never hear from them is exactly what that “choice” means.  Choice means having to make the decision as to whether you will put your child to death - or accepting that gift from God and choosing to let the child live.

Abstinence, chastity and adoption are valid choices that never seem to be promulgated by organizations such as Planned Parenthood, whose founder, Margaret Sanger was not only an avowed atheist, but also an avid believer that certain people like the poor, physically challenged or ethnic minority groups had no reproductive rights.  Over the years her ideas have morphed into slick, non-offensive slogans such as “Reproductive Rights” or “Clean and Safe Abortion”.  There is nothing clean or safe for the child who is murdered by people who had no right to kill him or her.

Unfortunately, in this culture of death, you will find more sympathy from the mainstream media for rescuing cats and dogs than unborn children - who are really the most defenseless members of society. Abortion is an abomination before God because it is a wanton act of murder against a defenseless, innocent victim as well as a refusal of his gift of love.

According to the World Health Organization, the annual worldwide number of abortions is somewhere between 35-50 million.  This is an unprecedented genocide that dwarfs the numbers of victims who were butchered at the hands of Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and every other mass-murderer in the history of the world – against victims who never had a chance – OR a choice.

Contraception

It’s interesting to note that virtually every Protestant denomination held the same position on contraception as the Catholic Church before 1930.  That was the year the Anglican Church parted with the rest of the Christian world at their Lambeth Conference, declaring that contraception was acceptable in some circumstances. Soon afterward, they caved in completely and in the years that followed, virtually every Protestant denomination also accepted this practice.

It should be noted that the current secular view of contraception was born of racism and intolerance.  Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and an avowed atheist, was the mother of the artificial birth control movement who embraced the Eugenics movement, a doctrine that some people (including the poor, physically challenged, ethnic minority groups) had no reproductive rights.  It is from this movement that Sanger proliferated the practice of artificial birth control as a means of controlling the population of these groups.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2370, 2399) deems any practice that “renders procreation impossible” as intrinsically evil. Early Protestant leaders such as John Calvin and John Wesley also spoke out against this practice.

We must remember that God is the author of life. We must put our complete faith and trust in God, who knows our needs even before we do (Matt. 6:8, Ephesians 3:20). Children are gifts from God – not punishments as some of our political leaders would have us believe.
