Guttmacher Institute Has It Backwards

The Guttmacher Institute, may have it wrong. The pro-abortion research group, formerly affiliated with Planned Parenthood, has put out the results of a new study, which they say reveals the abortion rate has decreased overall in the United States ... except ... among poor women. Their answer to this, they suggest, is simply to provide greater help to them through measures such as better contraceptive access and better family counseling. Translation ... abortifacient drugs guaranteed to produce either breast or cervical cancer, and Planned Parenthood's counseling, being to kill off the results of any failed contraception.

They also blamed pro-life legislation for cutting taxpayer funding for abortions, as resulting in increasing the abortion rates among Black women, even though studies have clearly shown that cutting tax-funded abortions is actually most responsible for reducing the number of abortions? How does cutting taxpayer funding to poor Black women, actually increase the number of these poor Black women, having more abortions ??????? So who is paying for these "more" abortions that these poor Black women cannot afford ???? If a woman's husband cut her weekly grocery allowance, so that she could no longer afford to buy nail polish ... how would that facilitate her purchasing more nail polish ???

The poor have been with us from the beginning of time, and will always be with us. Abortion has been legal now for 38 years, and the poor are still with us. So how has abortion decreased poverty? Is it really poverty that has led to abortion? Or is it a a permissive humanistic society, that has ingrained in our society a self centered ideology, which tells them it's all about the individual and his or her own personal self-fulfillment and gratification, including sexual gratification. Sex has become a pacifier and a drug for modern mankind. Are human beings supposed to use their sexuality like mindless beasts? The end result is that we've blurred the distinction between love and lust. Love is all about sacrifice. Lust is all about self.

Mindless animals have no ability to comprehend what it is that we have been called to participate in, regarding our life giving sexuality; while humans on the other hand, have been given rational minds, so that we can enter into the miracle of life with full knowledge of what it is that we are participating in. Today's morality has debased human beings to the level of mindless animals. Animals cannot help it that they are mindless, but we can.

So is the solution to reducing abortions among the poor, having more comprehensive sex education, that teaches a mere contraceptive mentality which is all about Lust with no consequences. And if the consequences of lust occur, should society pay to abort those consequences .. those consequences which just so happen to have a humanity and God-given soul.

The question which still begs an answer, is how does paying for contraceptive counseling make abortion more rare among poor women, when prior studies from Guttmacher itself, confirm more than half of women who get abortions were using contraceptives at the time? How about a novel approach to sex education, which raises our awareness above that of the animals, when it comes to our sexuality ... poor or rich.
