- 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.

Court reviews Planned Parenthood's extensive 'cover-up' of sexual abuse
© 2008 WorldNetDaily
 Planned Parenthood clinic in Cincinnati, Ohio |
Amid fierce accusations that Planned Parenthood has systematically concealed cases of statutory rape and sexual abuse from authorities, the organization may be required to hand over revealing patient records in a precedent-setting case.
Ohio clinic staff are said to have deliberately concealed the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl abused by her school's soccer coach. The coach, age 21, drove the pregnant girl to the Cincinnati abortion clinic after he discovered she was carrying his child.
According to the Alliance Defense Fund, the ADF filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the Ohio Supreme Court Monday. The ADF claims the abortion provider frequently fails to notify authorities when underage children have been sexually abused.
"The health and safety of young girls trumps Planned Parenthood's desire for secrecy," ADF Senior Legal Counsel Jeff Shafer said. "Ohio law mandates that Planned Parenthood report the sexual abuse of minors, and evidence that may reveal the organization's violation of that legal obligation may not be hidden."
ADF is asking the Ohio court to reverse an earlier appellate court decision preventing the girl and her parents from having access to clinic records that may indicate a routine pattern of the cover-up of statutory rape and other sexual abuse.
The child's parents sued Planned Parenthood when they learned the PP staff performed an abortion on their daughter at the request of her soccer coach without contacting authorities, a requirement in cases of statutory rape. Neither the clinic nor the coach informed the girl's parents of her abortion or sexual activity.
ADF filed the lawsuit to collect clinic documents that could reveal a history of illegal statutory rape cover-up. A judge ordered Planned Parenthood to release specific records; however, the abortion provider appealed the original decision, and an Ohio appellate court ruled in favor of the clinic. The case is now being heard by the Ohio Supreme Court.
"Planned Parenthood is not above the law," ADF-allied attorney David Langdon said. "Planned Parenthood is attempting to hide behind inapplicable physician-patient privilege in an apparent effort to protect itself."
The case is just one more of a series of incidents involving Planned Parenthood's failure to report adult sex with minors and underage pregnancies.
As WorldNetDaily reported earlier, a lawsuit was filed in Warren County, Ohio, against Planned Parenthood, alleging the facility provided an abortion to a teenage girl after a father sought the abortion of his daughter to cover up his sexual abuse of the teenage girl.
Dana Cody, a lawyer who filed the action on behalf of the girl, said rather than report the abuse, as required under state law, "Planned Parenthood went ahead and was complicit with the abortion."
The abuse continued for another 18 months before it was reported by a basketball coach, and the father eventually was convicted of sexual assault.
In a separate case, a pro-life organization in Waco, Texas, called for an explanation of a large discrepancy between statistics regarding statutory rape cases Planned Parenthood said it reported and the number of cases actually documented by law enforcement or other authorities.
Despite prevalent criticism for performing abortions on underage girls and protecting statutory rapists by not reporting them to authorities, Planned Parenthood has continued the practice, with many new cases of underage girls, according to investigations of violations of state criminal reporting laws. Under Title X funding, through which many clinics gain a significant amount of revenue, Planned Parenthood, as the abortion provider, has reportedly put itself at risk of losing funding for refusing to follow state laws – including reporting laws.
