A clash between politics and reality creates stress, and in some cases it creates a collision between truth and mere perception. When this happens, if noticed by the general population, a response is expected. But in today’s mile-a-minute culture, few take the time to notice, and even fewer care. This is particularly true when the topic is contraception. Perhaps because nobody really wants to know, its mode of action is rarely a concern. And that is a huge problem for the members of future generations who die because of the way these chemicals function in the female body.
This fact raised its head in a particularly jarring manner when the following news report came to our attention. Here we see how the pharmaceutical industry helps subsidize the Food and Drug Administration:
In 2024, $3.3 billion, almost 46% of the agency’s $7.2 billion budget, came from so-called “user fees,” or payments made by pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to fund the staff resources needed to review their products quickly, conduct inspections, and ensure the safety of clinical trials.
The FDA says user fees do not influence its decisions to approve products, and its overall budget is still subject to Congressional approval. Congress renews the user fee program every five years and most recently extended its use through September 2027.
So what about the average American and her interests? No wonder there are more ways to kill babies via chemical means these days. With the partnership of big pharma and our taxpayer-funded government, the fix is in, and even more preborn children can be expected to die unless this relationship is severed!
But there’s more!
The collision between Hippocratic medicine and death by abortionists has taken a very sordid turn. The abortionists are seeking conscience protections so that they can provide abortions with impunity. In a first-of-its-kind federal lawsuit, South Carolina OB-GYNs are “asking a federal court to overturn the state’s abortion ban on the basis that it does not allow ‘physicians to provide abortion care mandated by their religious beliefs.’”
It seems some obstetrician-gynecologists cannot tolerate a law that prevents them from killing preborn babies regardless of how they are created or how old they are. Clearly for some, killing is a primary goal in their profession. If that is not a collision between ethics and evil, we cannot tell you what is!
These are clear signs that we reside in a society fraught with evil intentions that have been mainstreamed to the extent that the public sees them as the norm. If this were not so, we would not witness America’s largest marketer of death—Planned Parenthood—sidling up to the California attorney general to ensure that a deadly abortion pill bill gets the required number of votes to become law.
Finally, in this rush to take lives under the guise of choice, we find a group of doctors who call their referral network A Safe Choice; they are spreading misinformation on deadly abortion pills because they fear the federal government may put an end to the practice.
The one thing that all of these examples share is that when common sense collides with self-centered desires to be rid of a baby whom one has possibly procreated, there is no bridge too far and no method of death too grisly. The abortion appetite in America must be satiated at all costs.
How many babies have died in on this road? We may never know, but if we are not willing to stand up and point out the horror of what so many have condoned, this collision between truth and fiction may never end.
We would never wish to be on a collision course of wills that ultimately results in eternal death.
