Planned Parenthood Cares - Or Didn't You Know?
Yep, that's right. Even as we speak, they're rushing along with all the other relief agencies like the Red Cross and Salvation Army to help those caught up in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Trucking in desperately-needed water, food and medicine contraceptives, these brave souls send out press releases to promote their charitable good deeds: doing their best to save people from the terrible threat of pregnancy.
Does this strike you as a little strange?
I mean, after reading about it this morning, I found myself wondering first of all how people even think of having sex during such a crisis. But then I thought that perhaps the future is so important and the life force so strong as to - I guess - make people in the midst of dire straits desire each other. The primal urge of the species to fight its own extinction. Not in a Darwinistic way, but in a Providential path provided by God.
Babies on the way! Pointing us to the future! New life! A symbol of hope and recovery!
A refusal to surrender to death and darkness.
But that's not how Planned Parenthood sees it. Time after time we've heard them boast of rushing into ravaged places like Kosovo, Ground Zero and now Louisiana with morning-after pills aplenty. In their minds there is no question which is worse: to experience the loss of loved ones, hunger, and thirst - or to experience a (shudder) unwanted pregnancy.
Hence their religious zeal - akin to an army of priests. It's just that instead of hope, they feed despair. And that instead of the sacraments of life, they carry the sacraments of death.

Which bothers you more: People having sex or abortion?
Barbara's answer: Hey, that's easy. I have 12 kids (3 adopted - 1 saved from abortion).
Abortion bothers me more. Which bothers you more, Mr. Matthew Rhoades?
