- The Social Footprints of Contraception
The Church's teaching on sexuality that lies behind its teaching that contraception is intrinsically immoral is dazzlingly beautiful.
Many people whose understanding has been clouded by the corruption of our culture have difficulty understanding it.

The risk John McCain took last Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.
McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history. As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

Monday was the first day that Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion business in South Dakota, had to comply with a new state law telling women the truth about abortion. Rather than tell women abortion kills children and has numerous risks, Planned Parenthood closed its doors.

Pence Gives Planned Parenthood a Run for Its Money
FRC has learned that Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), one of Congress's most passionate advocates for the unborn, is poised to introduce a bill this week that would strip funding from groups like Planned Parenthood that perform abortions yet receive Title X family planning dollars. According to the organization's own annual report, Planned Parenthood received more than a third of its nearly $1 billion budget from government grants and contracts last year alone. As Rep. Pence says, "It's time that the American people know that the nation's biggest abortion provider is also the largest recipient of Title X dollars." And that's no coincidence. Although family planning dollars cannot directly fund abortions, they can be used to offset "operational costs" and free up money to promote and provide abortions. Meanwhile, for all of the "family planning" rhetoric, it became painfully obvious in 2005-2006 which "choice" the organization advocates since Planned Parenthood failed to report a single adoption referral in the U.S. in 2005-2006. Investigations have also uncovered troubling evidence that Planned Parenthood employees have falsely reported information to the authorities and failed to report cases of sexual abuse and statutory rape. Yet for all of the controversy, which spans several state and local jurisdictions, the organization continues to be a significant beneficiary of federal funds. Help Rep. Pence put an end to this taxpayer-sponsored madness. Call your congressmen and tell them to join the effort to strip Planned Parenthood's taxpaid money tree.
Background on the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act
The bill prohibits the distribution of Title X family planning money to abortion providers.
The bill does not cut one penny from family planning funds.
The bill does not affect hospitals. In fact, hospitals are specifically exempted.
The bill denies no one family planning services. In every locality where a private abortion provider is receiving Title X funds, there are alternative sources for family planning services, including both public agencies and private agencies that do not offer abortions.
The bill does not affect free speech. The bill contains no language regarding counseling, advocacy, information or expression.
Originally, family planning services were not allowed to include abortions and currently federal dollars are not used directly for abortions. However, over the years, the subsidy of abortion providers under the umbrella of family planning has been gradually accepted.
