The Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaProTechnology actually help identify and treat problems associated with PMS, postpartum depression, infertility, male-infertility, frequent miscarriage and much more!

Planned Parenthood and Your Tax Dollars
For the past six years the federal government has been funding abortion organizations, to the tune of $1 BILLION. So, it should come as no big surprise that, according to Planned Parenthood’s recently released 2008-2009 Annual Report, you, the tax payer, are one of the largest financial contributors to America’s largest abortion provider. It may not be a big surprise, … Read More

Don’t expect the media to pick this one up.

Benedict, Condoms and Context
By now, many of you have probably seen the headline that Pope Benedict has “declared condom use acceptable ‘in certain cases’”, or something to that effect. I’ve seen some people really fretting about it on my Facebook news feed, but a closer look at the pope’s actual words, which come from an interview that was published in a book called … Read More
Quick Takes: Love, Marriage, Sex
Ok, there are a few things I’ve been wanting to post on for the past week. Since they’re all related to love, marriage and sex, I thought I’d throw them all together in one post instead of trying to make separate posts out of each of them. 1.

Miss MI Wins Miss USA With Question About Birth Control
Only because Miss Missouri is a girl I used to babysit ages ago (she made it to the top 10!) did I actually watch most of the Miss USA pageant on NBC last night. In case you missed it, the winner of Miss USA, Michigan’s Rima Fakih’s, final question was about the birth control pill (see video): Q: This month … Read More
Sick
As if we needed another reason to not watch the CBS Evening News. In this little segment Katie Couric laments the lack of access to contraception for low income women (hello Margaret Sanger!) and promotes Planned Parenthood’s push for the Gov’t to define birth control as “preventative medicine”, as if pregnancy was a disease: See my latest posts on this … Read More
Contraception: Morally Wrong in Every Circumstance
This post was inspired by a few conversations I’ve had with some people about contraception since my post on Tuesday: Until just 80 years ago every major Christian religion condemned the practice of intentionally sterilizing the marital act as gravely immoral. Then, in 1930, the Anglican Council of Bishops approved of married couples using “other methods” of avoiding pregnancy, in … Read More
