This is a response I received on the above article I posted. It's from a Catholic relative of mine from Ireland:
"I don't agree that Suozzi is on the right track. He sounds like he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Giving grants to Planned Parenthood is actually providing support to the largest purveyor of abortion in the world. I agree with funding for abtsinence programs of course,but funding the education of kids about artificial contraception is not going to help. Artificial contraception actually leads to more abortions. Many of the types of contraception are themselves abortifacient,e.g. the low dose pill and IUD both allow fertililization but make the uterus hostile to implantation. They also foster a more cavalier and more casual attitude towards sex, which is not part of God's plan for society.
Hope you are getting on well!"
I have no idea whether ot not she's right about those things, and I don't know that I even disagree with her. However, I find it interesting that she is probably in total agreement with the president of NARAL on this issue. This is a very good example of how the extremes on both ends are in total agreement to disagree, while the middle ground is left sorting it all out. Oh well.
