PART 3: THE GOSPEL OF LIFE @ 25: "MORE CONTRACEPTION? MORE ABORTIONS": Just over a quarter of a century ago, Pope Saint John Paul II released his encyclical, LCUI is now at a combined total of 1,932 Babies Evangelium vitae, in response to the ever-increasing attacks Saved within the TWENTY TWO Ultrasound against human life and dignity. Each week, we aim Machines we have assisted in placing throughout the to explore a different aspect the prophetic papal State of Michigan through January 2021. We are document. currently engaged with TWO additional Pregnancy Today’s passage drawn from Section 13 of Resource Center, Life Choices of Central Michigan the encyclical where Pope John Paul tackles the (Portable Unit) and Pregnancy Help Clinic (Flint). intrinsic link between the use of artificial contraception and abortion: None of this would be possible without your generous “Indeed, the pro-abortion culture is donations, thank you for your continued support. especially strong precisely where the Church's Also, during these challenging times please continue teaching on contraception is rejected... But despite to pray now more than ever knowing and trusting their differences of nature and moral gravity, that God will prevail. contraception and abortion are often closely connected, as fruits of the same tree,” Pope Saint LCUI is a 501 C3 Non-Profit Organization. Please John Paul II, Section 13, Evangelium vitae. follow our progress for a complete list of these Reflecting upon this passage today is Jenny Ingles, Pregnancy Centers at: www.lcultrasound.org or at Director of Fertility and Life Ministries for the www.facebook.com/lcultrasound Diocese of Lansing. Jenny writes: “It's often times hard to accept that contraception and abortion are linked. After all, we're told that if women have access to contraception, then they won't have unplanned pregnancies and, thus, will not turn to abortion. The reality is vastly different though.” “The underlying decision to reject life but still engage in life-producing activities is present in both contraception and abortion. A couple who uses contraception has already rejected the possibility of life so when the contraceptive fails to prevent a pregnancy, it is difficult, if not impossible, for many to suddenly accept this new life. This leads many to turn to abortion.” “The other lie that is often perpetuated is that contraceptives are nearly ‘full-proof’. This is far from the truth. The average birth control pill fails to prevent pregnancy between eight and ten percent of the time. Considering how many women are using the birth control pill on a daily basis (often times in non-permanent relationships), the number of unplanned, unwanted pregnancies is astronomical.” “This link between contraception and abortion is inseparable. And in order to truly end abortion in our country, it cannot be ignored.” Pope Saint John Paul II, pray for us!
