Imagine that your doctor has just given you the terrific news that your annual checkup went well and that all of your tests show that you are in perfect health. Then imagine that he hands you a script and says, Take this every day. It has many side effects, including lethal ones. You would be loath to begin this regimen. Yet, this is what countless women do each day when they use contraception to prevent a pregnancy.
A child created within a marital unit and out of love? Those were the old days. These days, we can mix up the “perfect” creation in a petri dish. But at what cost?
The medical community touts in vitro fertilization as something great, something amazing. But it omits the fact that this procedure is not victimless. Neither is it moral or ethical. Today’s commentary explores the words of Pope John Paul II and the Church and explains what every Catholic should know.
The icy fingers of selfishness and callousness have crept into the collective body of society and left its members chilled to the bone. We see hearts that have been hardened, minds that focus only on material wants and desires, and human beings slaughtered at will. How will we survive?
Interpretation of data is of utmost importance when looking at the latest Guttmacher report. To understand the enormity of how many babies are aborted each year, read today’s commentary. We must work to protect all human beings born and preborn. This tragedy these killings must be stopped.
We live in a backward culture that somehow thinks the murder of a child is not only acceptable, but something that should be celebrated and embraced. We’ve allowed minds to become so twisted and confused that they don’t even see the resulting destruction. We say all the time that we must be voices for the preborn, but are we loud enough to be heard over all this noise?
It’s about more than just cookies. It’s about a way of life a disturbing move toward immorality that many are turning a blind eye to. Some people embrace this. Many merely accept it. Just as a broken cookie crumbles, so will our country if we do not make changes and repair all that has gone wrong. So what can we do? Today’s commentary explains.
Touted as liberation. Touted as a way for women to take control. The pill has long been described as something positive women should do for themselves. But how often do we hear about its negative consequences and deadly effects? Not often enough. Now is the time for the truth.
We are proud of the actions of clergy who stand up for the truths of the Church and who, despite backlash from secular society, refuse to back down. This is truly what it means to lead. And we must strive to follow this lead not only in our own hearts, but with our own voices.
The life of a human being is something that should be treasured, valued, and respected. Yet we don’t see that in today’s society when it comes to a tiny preborn baby, a terminally sick individual, an elderly person, or anyone deemed unworthy or unwanted. More often than not, these people are seen as expendable or better off dead. We must change this twisted mindset.
It seems like, in today’s hedonistic society, people have forgotten the true meaning of dignity and replaced it with an “anything goes” attitude that trumps all else. Human beings are objectified, belittled, and often discarded. When will we learn?
The loss of preborn life that we see or hear about on a daily basis should not be a difficult concept to understand. When a child is created, and his life is then snuffed out whether it’s through one of the several types of abortion or in a lab setting the truth remains that a life has been lost. Each and every one of these babies must be mourned; we must never forget a single one of them. Hence, we must always realize that our language matters both written and spoken. Lives depend upon this
