Whether a mom aborts her baby by going to a clinic and having an abortion, or whether, as is far more often the case, she aborts her baby unawares because she used abortifacient contraception (Pill, IUD, etc.), a real human being actually dies. And even unawares, a mother cries, no matter if that "crying" takes a form that doesn't look like physical crying with tears.

Watch this marvelous description of what it means to be two in one flesh as Martin Brenner discusses Christ as Bridegroom in the Sacrifice and of being "given up" for His Bride, the Church here.
He says that if husbands can't see themselves as bridegrooms who sacrifice themselves, being "given up" for their own brides regarding contraception, this is a denial of likeness to Christ as Juliana Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10333806607826792197noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832513308669019667.post-41773832548976375152013-02-13T09:17:00.004-06:002013-02-13T11:23:30.489-06:00New Dark Age: Contraception
I will post a series of YouTube vidoes on the topic of love, true love, in honor of Valentine's Day. The idea isn't my original idea; rather, I'm following suit after another Catholic had the idea, Michael Voris.
In the video for today, Dr. Brenner says that Pope Benedict says that the teaching of Humanae Vitae is crucial to an enduring civilization, crucial to the whole world.

Contraception is anti-love in its noblest sense. Noble sexual love does not put the other (male or female) at risk physically, emotionally, financially, or spiritually. All forms of contraception do put one or both persons at risk of harm in some substantial way, just as Pope Paul VI predicted in his encyclical of 1968, Humanae Vitae.

Not too long ago Bill O'Reilly made the astute observation that Americans are the ones responsible for the chaos that is currently enveloping this nation.
While O'Reilly was not talking about moral chaos, the fact is that the
national crisis of conscience is at the foundation of all that ails
America.

Here is an article about the link between the birth control pill and breast cancer. Though this article doesn't say so, I read in another article that in a test group of African American women, women who had EVER used the Pill had in increased risk of breast cancer. Other factors can be involved, but it seems interesting that all studies seem to indicate at least a slight risk.

As I explore more and more the natural remedies God has provided through food, I'm amazed and awed and encouraged that He has not left those who do not share the wealth of America without means.

This year, I'm most thankful that I am no longer a slave to my appetite for food. One way of dealing with cancer is to change one's lifestyle, and that change has resulted in healthy eating habits that have resulted in a loss of over thirty pounds so far.

For years (I'm 63), I've agonized over the reality that I have been unable to shed weight gained over time that amounts to over double my young adult weight. I have felt that, in heralding sexual morality regarding fertility and sex, I myself have been obviously not in tune with nutritional purity. In short, I have been a hypocrite, one not facing the log in her own eye.
