I have no idea how wide this post will be circulated, but my hope is that the time is right for a few sparks to get a huge fire going to raise awareness to the enormity of the ever-increasing threat to life and to women that lies in the mandate for the contraceptive Pill, IUD, Patch, and other forms of abortion-causing birth control.
You don't hear about contraception much in church. Well, maybe once a year on "Pro-Life Sunday." You don't hear it mentioned in the "Prayers of the Faithful" at Mass each Sunday or weekday. You don't hear that much about it from the major pro-life organizations whose main focus is procured abortion. Pro-life organizations give voice to the 50 + millions aborted in the United States by procured surgical abortion, but who will give voice to the millions and millions more babies whose lives are every bit as real at conception as any one baby whose life was cut short by procured abortion?
Pretty much the whole world is coming to admit that procured abortion is a terrible deed, even while we do have compassion on those who commit it and regret it, and there is indeed mercy and forgiveness for the repentant by God and by mankind . But abortion-by-birth control is deemed by many, even the churched, whether Protestant, Catholic, or Jew, to be non existent. I am living proof that there is forgiveness for the sin of abortion-by-birth control, so I cast no stones, but I do plead now on behalf of the tiniest of the tiny aborted by birth control.
The only difference between a sperm and egg union, a baby, at one hour and a sperm and egg union, a baby, at six months' gestation is size and development, not DNA. Yet, where is the outcry for the millions and millions of babies whose lives are silenced in the very first hours or days after conception?
On the insert that comes with birth control pills, information supplied by the pharmaceutical company states that sometimes the Pill works by causing the fertilized egg (zygote/tiny baby) NOT to implant in his or her mother's womb. Not to implant means that the tiniest of tiny babies is passed out of the body through normal or near normal menstruation, most of the time with parents not even knowing she or he was ever there. With twelve cycles in each year of a woman's life, if Mom is on birth control, how many babies fail to implant in her womb each year? How many in several years?
With the IUD, the uterine lining is altered by the presence of the device, causing the likelihood of implantation to be greatly reduced, again AFTER conception has taken place. This is the foremost cause of "miscarriage" that in reality is abortion because it's induced by an outside factor rather than an act of nature.
Where is the outcry for these tiniest of children whose blood covers our land? It boggles the mind that pro-life leaders have remained blind to this reality. How can they even sleep at night if they say they fight for babies in the womb, all the while turning a blind eye and deaf ear to the tiniest of the tiny?
Sometimes this is called an "incremental approach" to ending abortion, but is it really? How can we say that it is okay not to speak out in defense of millions and millions of babies aborted by contraception so that the millions aborted by procured abortion can be acknowledged and mourned? At the recent March for Life in Washington, D.C., foundress of the March Nellie Gray said that we must abandon the incremental approach to ending abortion "immediately" due to the urgency of the battle for life.
Many Christians have been persuaded to believe that birth control is their responsibility. Their minds are darkened to the reality that their tiny little ones are often flushed away without a whimper by month after month and year after year use of the Pill, the IUD, or any number of other abortion-causing birth control methods. Their heads are buried in the sand in the name of "responsible" sex, even "responsible" married sex.
It's ironic that it's not our church leaders and our medical professionals who finally call attention to the issue of contraception. Rather, it is our own nation's President, by making contraception coverage mandatory by all agencies and businesses that provide insurance coverage. Contraception finally stands alongside abortion and sterilization, exactly where it has always belonged, but ironically it comes through the voice of our President's mandate, not from Sunday or weekday pulpit.
We have been issued an ultimatum that we have one year to comply with contraception. But if we look at it another way, perhaps there is a silver lining in this unprecedented attack on religious liberty. Seen from another perspective, the present mandate is a mandate to repent of the sin of contraception, to beg God's forgiveness and mercy, and to beg His intervention on our behalf, but we have LESS than one year to do so. More like nine months. Ironically, because of this mandate, some time within the next nine months, we will either see the gradual re-birth of our great nation, or we may very well see what is the certain abortion of our once great nation.
Nine months. . .
