It is not real Sex ED that helped cause the decline. It is your version of so-called "sex Ed," that has "helped" the decline. Your version is nothing more than a petty dispensation of contraception so that kids can reduce themselves to behavior much akin to that of dogs and pigs. Ultimately, it causes more problems than it solves.
But it is not only your brand of sex ed that is responsible for declines in abortion. We, the Pro-Lifers, have influenced the education system too, causing an increasing number of public and private schools to include astinence-based sex ed programs in their sex education curricula. In fact our views are affecting everything, including your views. Even pro-choicers now cringe at the notion of abortion-- no longer making the outlandish claim that the procedure is on par with having a tonsillectomy. It is now commonplace to hear choicer-after-choicer saying such things as “I personally am against abortion [***note***they rarely state why they are against it], but a woman ought to have the right to choose it.” It is because of us, the pro-lifers, that so many choicers are feeling compelled to try, albeit in vain, to distance themselves from abortion. We have taught you and the rest of the nation about this most revolting encounter with death, grief and guilt.
But we Champions of Life have not stopped there. On January 16, 1998, in its coverage of the Roe v. Wade anniversary, ABC News examined the decline of abortion rates and reported that 60 percent of doctors who do abortions are 65 or older. That percentage and average age of abortionists is now increasing even more rapidly, not because of you, but because of us, the pro-lifers. Real doctors know the truth about abortion and they know you know the truth too. Because of pro-lifers most doctors today are refusing to even learn the murderous procedure that is abortion. Pro-lifers have successfully stigmatized abortion and that means fewer abortuaries are coming online today. This means abortion is becoming ever more difficult to acquire. And that helps explain the decline in abortions.
Yet, while the number of abortuaries are on the decline, the number of Crisis Pregnancy Centers is being maintained. I myself personally fund several of them and think the Christian Church has done a bang up job over the last decade to support them all across America. There are literally dozens of towns in America where abortuaries are not present, but where Crisis Pregnancy Centers exist. These centers do a number of things, not the least of which is help pregnant women see the truth about their child with a calm, sober mind, instead of the panic-stricken mind that abortionists commonly exploit. The centers also help frightened women materially.
The centers also help women who have had abortion overcome their grief and guilt. The upshot of the matter is that while we pro-lifers have successfully stigmatized abortion, we are not leaving guilty and grief-stricken victims of pro-choice culture to suffer in their grief. Very many women who were once devoted choicers are now even more avid Champions for Human Life. Vast numbers of them literally staff the Crisis Pregnancy Centers and counsel fearful young women through their ordeal. Visit a center and you will almost certainly find several former abortion victims helping other women avoid the pain of abortion. What we offer is just better than what you offer. We offer help and the knowledge that any woman can overcome her circumstance so that she can either enjoy or release her child to life. You offer death and the nagging and everlasting shame that a child has died by a mother's own hand on a certain day in time.
I have no doubt that contraception has in part helped decrease abortion, but the pro-life view is so effectively stigmatizing abortion that even contracepting people cringe about the procedure. And they should cringe about it. It is a most immoral slaughter of defenseless and innocent human life.
The long-term trend is firmly our friend and not yours. |
