Dr.
Marc Newman, of Speaker for Life, a prolife debate and speaker trainer,
offers the below pamphlet. This is a 1944
Planned Parenthood Foundation propaganda piece promoting birth control.
What is most interesting about it, though, is the answer to the question “Is it
[i.e., birth control] an abortion?” From their own tongue, PP’s response is
that abortion is murder, something they’ve been denying for the four decades of
legalized abortion debate. They say, “Abortion
kills the life of the baby after it has begun...birth control merely
postpones the beginning of life.” In a public forum PP would deny this until
they were red in tooth and claw! When I read it, a verse from Job came to the front of my mind: “Thine
own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee”
(15:6). Please see Dr. Marc’s
blog, where he offers images of an actual original copy of this pamphlet.
It goes on to warn of the daunting prospects of the mother with reference to
abortion. “It is dangerous to your life and health. It may make you sterile so
that when you want a child you cannot have it.” Oh, how the times—and propaganda—have
changed. Get a copy of this from Dr. Marc’s blog. It could be an invaluable
asset in your own prolife arsenal.
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. –Proverbs 22:28
I call upon You, Lord, God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob and Israel, You who are the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God who, through the abundance of your mercy, was well-pleased towards us so that we may know You, who made heaven and earth, who rules over all, You who are the one and the true God, above whom there is no other God; You who, by our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit, give to every one who reads this writing to know You, that You alone are God, to be strengthened in You, and to avoid every heretical and godless and impious teaching.
St Irenaeus of Lyons, Against the Heresies 3:6:4
