Just last week another report surfaced about a Planned Parenthood employee covering up an obvious statutory rape (I meant to post this last week, but never got around to it). This time the “victim” was a woman posing as a 14 year-old girl who suspects she might be pregnant after being sexually active with a 23 year-old man. Not only does the PP clinic worker invite the girl into the clinic for a pregnancy test and “contraception services” without even acknowledging the abuse, but she also informs her that she can send her abuser in to pick up the contraception for her! But what do you expect from an industry that essentially exists to cover-up the sexual transgressions of men. George Tiller’s “women’s” clinic is (in)famous for doing this for years – with girls as young as 11!

No, contrary to what they would have you believe, Planned Parenthood is no friend to women. By offering abortions and encouraging contraception, PP perpetuates the message that the female body, rather than being a sacred life-giving vessel, is nothing more than an instrument for her partner’s sexual gratification. In this sense, of course, they also equally degrade men who are consequently encouraged and given license to indulge in their every lustful desire instead of being called to greatness and to uphold the beauty and dignity of woman.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why women continue to support such a clearly anti-woman organization. Except that most women today have themselves bought into the modern view of woman which talks a lot about freedom and choice, but really makes them slaves to the lustful desires of man. If you don’t believe me, the next time you’re in the check-out lane at your grocery store just take a look at one of the most popular woman’s magazine of our day whose cover is splattered with headlines for articles about the many ways women can attract men and please them sexually (a few lovely examples: “Little Touches He’ll Love You For”, “50 Things Guys Wish You Knew”, “10 Things Guys Crave in Bed”, “The Surprising Trait 80% of Men Find Sexy”, “His #1 Sex Fantasy”) – or their website whose homepage includes a large advertisement for their section on “Sex Tips From Guys” (men don’t fare much better, either, with Playboy, FHM, Maxim, etc…).

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is why our babies are being murdered by the thousands everyday. Sure, society claims it’s because a woman’s body is her own and she can do what she wants with it, but in all honesty it is largely the result of our culture convincing women to surrender their bodies to man’s lust.

We are worth much more than this, Ladies! Our bodies are sacred, the crowning achievement of the work of God’s creation – His masterpiece. And when we conceive the hand of God literally reaches down and touches our female body and creates a new and living soul within us. This is not a hindrance to, but the very fulfillment of the meaning and purpose of our sexuality – to share in the life-giving love of God!
