To those who think that these t-shirts aren’t that bad: I just hope that a friend of mine and his wife don’t run into someone wearing one of these in the next few days. He found out on Monday via amnio that their baby (17 weeks gestation) has Down Syndrome. They are leaning towards terminating the pregnancy but have not come to a final decision. Pray for them that they receive affective messages of life and make the right choice. These t-shirt truly are evil and have little chance of doing anything but contributing to the epidemic of abortion.
 
I just saw the PP website for teens that george eastlake posted. I am nauseated and ticked. Are these people seriously this sick and perverted. My Sweet Lord, what is this country doing to your children by sexualizing them and misleading them. I can’t even believe what I read on the SEX link. That talk to me seems borderline child molestation weird, or is it just me. I just want to scream about all this.

I actually have another thread I posted from the PP site. It’s about the Q & A’s on abortion. Unbelievable. Satan is a happy camper :eek:

peace
 
We must as parents, and as Catholics, inculterate society with the non-PC views and REAL Truth.

I am participating in a wonderful program that is helping me learn how to do that as a mother and Catholic. They have programs designed for mother’s/wife’s and father’s/husband’s it is called FAMILIA

www.familiausa.net is their website:thumbsup:

We study the next Sunday’s Gospel reading for thirty minutes – approx. and then choose a concrete action based on our discussion.

We study a section of the Catechism that is systematically presented. Then we study various documents written by our Holy Father that make up the Theology of the Body.:gopray:

First year mother’s study Familiaris Consortio. Sure you can read it on your own. But their is something supernatural when the Holy Spirit is invited into your group and the “animators” have taken a extra time to be very prepared to present the article for discussion.

I have animated and I can honestly say that I did put in a minimum of three hours per article. More usually, I put in something like six, but I have the good fortune of being able to make more than one Holy hour each week.

I sincerely receommend FAMILIA and consider it a well kept secret. If your Bishop has a problem with the program, please contact me. Ou Regional Directors and others were successful in working with our Archbishop, a sincere but liberal bishop, in clearing the way for FAMILIA in our Archdiocese and parish.

Pax et bonum,

Edwin1961:
If I wasn’t born to my parents at the era I was born, I wouldn’t know IF I would have been born at all!

I was 2 months premature, and had/have eyesight problems at birth.
I am SO thankful that God has chosen to let me be born at this time.
HOWEVER I am moved to disgust for those who are NOT given a chance to BE born.
The tee is actually a bulls eye for God’s judgment, however it will make it easier to direct prayers towards those who need it.

Go with God!

Edwin,
Thanks be to God that you were able to survive. I have spent a lot of time in a regional Newborn intensive care unit that was primarily a surgery hospital. The other NICU’s were for preemie’s that didn’t need any surgery.

I have often wondered if our daughter, Claire, would have been born if an ultrasound had been done on her birth mom. I also wonder if I would have given birth to her. I am a much better person and a much better Catholic because I was Claire’s mom.

In the RNICU, I saw a concerned and committed staff. I saw nurses filling out their charts while holding a baby whose parents couldn’t or wouldn’t come in. I tried not to judge. The regional concept meant that some of the babies came from hospitals hours away and if the parents had other children, it was very difficult for them to travel that much.

I had so many people come by the first day I was Claire’s mom to tell how happy they were that she had had parents that I cried most of that day. It was just so wonderful that so many people cared and prayed for my baby before we got there. Claire was about 7 weeks old when her birth parents signed their surrenders and the agency tried figure out how desing a document to place a child with us who was still in the hospital.

So for the next eight weeks, through many ups and downs and lots of learning and coaching from my murses and the chaplaincy staff, I got ready to be a mom.

Around the time we were about to leave the hospital, the wife of the doctor who would become Claire’s pediatrician blew by. She stopped and asked if I would like to see a picture of Calire when she was a newborn. I said yes.

This doctor was a geneticist. She told me how the Fellow (almost a specialist-- another term for endentured servitude – had not wanted to treat Claire because of her “long” thumbs and called this doctor in to diagnose trisomy 18 – a severe retarding and fatal genetic disorder. This geneticist was able to debunk the trisomy 18 immediately – the thumbs aren’t just long, they don’t have a bony joint in them either.

So, one real close brush, but Claire lived to be seven and I had so hoped that the love my sister-in-law had for her would make her see that abortion was wrong. Alas, it didn’t seem to do that.

Still Edwin, thanks be to God that you and all of us are here now.

True life story…

I would wear one of these t-shirts. I would also add…

I had an abortion…
I have suffered with post traumatic stress syndrome
I have battled alcohol abuse
I have battled drug abuse
I am infertile
I grieve over my lost baby

You see, it is one thing to say that you had an abortion (which I have had) and another thing to also put out there that these are the consequences that one has due to the abortion. Not all women become infertile - not all have substance abuse problems, but I can tell you, each and every woman that I have met who has had an abortion grieves her child, either through anger, and she becomes a fanatical pro-abortionist, or by turning to the mercy of God and His love and Healing.

The woman who designed the t-shirt is probably in the first category. Do not judge her, please; be kind and charitable to her. Be CHRIST to her. She is hurting, she does not know the love of Christ and if we are mean to her, then who will love her?

Just some thoughts from a woman whose child would have been 34 years old this September. Praise God that He HEALS, He Forgives and He loves.

Now, go and love thy neighbor.
 
Ah yes, RomanRyan 1088 - but we are called to love our neighbor! Please be gentle…be loving and charitable. We can be great ambassadors of Christ to people or we can turn people away from Christ. God Bless
 
Chimakuni,

Thank you for sharing, and reminding us of the need to be Christ, while still fighting the EVIL known as Abortion.
 
I think it is interesting that the t-shirt is a fitted t-shirt. It sounds as if they are aiming it at teens, many of whom favor the tighter fit. I would question whether it is designed to also show the midriff (which is also favored by many teens)? Maybe PP is hoping that it will tempt young men into trying to make the young ladies repeat customers. This is truly abhorrent! As a teacher in a public high school, I pray that I won’t see one of these; I’m not sure how I’ll respond. I pray that God would give me the answer and not let me rely on my own tongue.

ProLifeAction:
Other T-Shirt Ideas for Planned Parenthood…

I have other t-shirt ideas for Planned Parenthood’s “social fashion statement” clothing line. How about, “My girlfriend had an abortion” to match the “I had an abortion” t-shirt? Almost all couples break up after abortion. Maybe matching t-shirts would provide a chic bond to hold them together.

Or how about, “My daughter had an abortion”? Except that would only work if one hasn’t already aborted one’s daughter.

Or how about,** “My mother had an abortion”**? Whoops. Never mind on that one.

Planned Parenthood’s clothing line does include a kid’s tee that says “Parenthood. Plan It!” on the front and “Every Child a Wanted Child” on the back.

But I question the marketing research on that one. It’s surely not a big seller.

Don’t we have t-shirts that say “Smile, your mother chose life” on the front, and “Call her up and thank her” on the back?

What about one that says, “I survived being a fetus in America”?:hmmm:

Our Lady of Guadalupe, please pray for the unborn children. Amen.

"They have finally arrived!

Planned Parenthood is proud to offer yet another t-shirt in our new social fashion line: “I Had an Abortion” fitted T-shirts are now available. These soft and comfortable fitted tees assert a powerful message in support of women’s rights."

http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/newboard/attachments/ppfastore_1802_384152.jpg

Does anybody find it ironic that a group called “Planned Parenthood” would produce a T-shirt sponsoring the unfortunate outcome of what is usually an unplanned pregnancy?

Perhaps we should counter with a T-shirt carrying the message:

“Your mother didn’t have an abortion”

When I first saw the T-shirt and heard that Planned Parenthood wanted women to wear that abomination, I went in search of a T-shirt and found this:

I agree 100% On one hand it “requires” people to* project* respect, rather than fostering genuine respect… on the other hand,Political Correctness requires people, through a kind of “peer pressure” to accept all kinds of illicit behavior and social groups by calling them what they “want” to be called… in this case, feminists with a right to choose, freedom, “products of pregnancy” “pregnancy tissue” fetus, using terms which cloud the facts by demeaning the humanity of the fetus, aka unborn baby. To the point where many people who consider themselves pro- life (especially young people) feel they need to vote pro- choice simply because they are afraid of not letting abortionists have the “right to choose” or make their own choice. People like this buy into the “right to choose” hook line and sinker. They dont’ think about the unborn baby’s right to live. How many of us have heard this: “I think abortion is wrong, I would never have an abortion. It’s killing a baby… but it’s America, I dont’ want to take the right to choose from anyone else.” PC police help foster this kind of confusion.
Political correctness may have a good intent but I find it detremental to actual change because as long as someone is using the correct terms in mixed company they can still be racist, etc. I think it makes it easier to “skate by” and it also gets well meaning people who have genuine respect for a certain group wrongly accused if they are uninformed of the politically correct terms to use. For example: A little elderly lady may call an African American “colored” because it is what was commonly used in her day, yet be absolutely non-racist. A skin head could call people he works with Hispanic or African American and “skate by” with absolutely no problem simply because he used the right pass word, yet spread hate in his free time.
I wrote a paper on this topic in college, it was not well received by my ultra liberal professor.😉
I never know what to put on those pesky application profiles… They never say “Magyar” and I am of Hungarian descent…:hmmm: :rotfl: :rolleyes: Of course the other 3/4 is a mixture, so I sometimes find an “other” option and write “American”
 
What does it say UNDERNEATH the “I had an abortion” text?

Thank you for your beautiful testimony. My child would have been fifteen. I was fifteen when I chose to terminate my pregnancy. The same age as Mary when she said “yes”. I grieve over my decision. I REGRET MY ABORTION. I think these t-shirts are so sad.
