Great post. Isn't it odd how so many of those who've had big plans to improve society actually plant seeds of destruction? For me it all comes down to lack of faith in God, replacing faith with belief that human beings are somehow endowed with power that is God's alone. Bless you for your work!
Thank you for your perceptive comment. You're right, without God, the best-laid plans lead to destruction. Ideas become ideologies, and ideologies become idols. Atrocities are done to serve the Idol, in this case, the Idol is the Myth of Sex Without Consequences. The atrocities committed in its service include the unsexing of women by thwarting the full expression of the fertility and longing for committed family love that is built into their bodies and souls. And the concomitant atrocity is that human babies are treated as mistakes to be erased if they are conceived in spite of all the potions, pills, barriers, and poisons of planned unparenthood.
You sum it up perfectly, Ms. Sullivan. I'm glad you point out something even many who condemn abortion seem to overlook. That is, why -- after how many decades of widespread contraceptive use -- is there still such a "need" for abortion? Can there really be that many women and underage girls who either are unwilling to use the contraceptives or just don't care if they become pregnant?
And something the pro-abortion people seem hardly ever (or never) to mention is that black American women and underage girls make up a wildly disproportionate share of those who choose to abort the unborn.
Typing these words, I suddenly have the feeling that as a man I likely can never fully understand what goes on in a woman's heart and mind at the moment they leave themselves open to conception, knowing the dangers if they are not in a good marriage.
These are brilliant: "the Myth of Sex Without Consequences" and "planned unparenthood". A woman I knew at college said: "Sex is all just exciting and wonderful until someone gets pregnant." Truer words never spoken.
Glad to know I'm expressing the ideas well. About your being a man not understanding what motivates a woman leaving herself open to conception of a baby she might welcome when a baby wouldn't be welcome to the man impregnating her, you are not at fault if you don't understand. Your only fault would be to be one of those men who love the idea that they can take advantage of women and try to get only the pleasure of the intimacy that belongs in marriage and that should be open to life, without marriage. Sex isn't just all exciting and wonderful when you don't know whether the man cares about you. I know that many women are not happy or sexually fulfilled when they need to play the game that forces them to suppress their longings for committed exclusive love and motherhood.
With these words: "... when they (women) need to play the game that forces them to suppress their longings ...." you just confirmed for me something I have suspected all my life. And at some point the sexual revolution turned the game into a war. 🙏
Well, the war between the sexes has been around for a long time. It was heartbreaking for me to realize as a girl that men would do anything to get sex from women they weren't married to even though at the time they would ruin a woman's life. Now it is hidden that women are being used and ruined emotionally and morally and physically and forced to wait until a man decides they are worthy of marriage. Love isn't love unless both of them agree and a baby isn't a baby unless they both want it. And the biggest hoax is that women are being deluded into thinking sexual "freedom" is all for their benefit.
