Accept, or you are labeled insensitive or intolerant. Accept and allow, or you are labeled narrow-minded or discriminatory. Do not follow the teachings of the Lord, or you are labeled unbalanced or extreme. These, and more, are the ideas Planned Parenthood has subtly put into our heads and the heads of our children. These are the ideas shaping today’s culture. And these are the ideas we can no longer let continue to blossom.
On March 27, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi accepted Planned Parenthood’s highest honor, the Margaret Sanger Award.
Catholic bishops and clergy have a responsibility to not only make their voices heard, but to teach those of the Catholic faith how to use their own voices. This means that the clergy must instruct and teach regularly about Catholic tenets and doctrine, yet we do not see this. As we see a continuing moral decline in our country, we realize now more than ever that we need to hear a roar rather than a whimper.

We all have reason to fear for the future for our families and for children not yet conceived. Insurance is supposed to protect people, to proffer health and well-being. Yet with the installation of Obamacare, the opposite will occur. Countless lives will be lost and destroyed, and we will watch our country sink further into an abyss of immorality.
We seem to be losing the ability to determine what is really best for our minds, bodies, and souls. Instead, we focus on the here and now. We seek pleasure at all cost, and we allow immoral behavior to creep into our lives. If this continues, there will only be one natural consequence.
Estelle Griswold was a Planned Parenthood physician. The case was Griswold v. Connecticut and it was 1965.
It was the 1960s and many Americans had decided that they were quite comfortable and, in fact, pleased with the practice of contraception.
The struggle to defund the abortion-marketing giant, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, continues.
It was the year 2000 and the state was California. In a court case that rocked many believing Catholics, a lower court judge decided that denying contraceptive coverage to Catholic Charities’ employees put an undue burden on those employees.

U.K. Independence Party (UKIP) candidate Geoffrey Clarke recently sparked outrage by calling for the forced abortions of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome, spina bifida, or any “similar syndrome which, if it is born, will render the child a burden on the state as well as on the family.”
