Please read and comment if you wish.

It is interesting that first Dr. Bernard Nathanson the “expert” who helped RvW come into being changed his mind shortly after the ruling and now we have one of the co-inventors of the “Pill” finally seeing what the Catholic Church has been saying all along.

I wonder if the other co-creators are even alive to see what havoc their invention has wreaked!

Thank you for posting this link. I hadn’t seen this article. Sometimes, opening one’s eyes is a gradual process.

He said that in most of Europe there was now “no connection at all between sexuality and reproduction.”

Same here in US.

But the evils furthered by this pill go far, far, far beyond just demographic disaster.

Watch and learn, Mr. Djerassi. May you embrace the truth of the Church on your journey.

God grant that in speaking out, this expert’s change of heart will help to bring about a reversal. Surely Dr. Bernard Nathanson’s witness will have impact. Please God he will continue to be vocal and campaign faithfully to undo the harm he helped to create

Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae was absolutly prescient concerning the ramifications of artificial birth control.

The enviromentalists are correct about one thing: our civilization is engaged in a war against nature. The irony is that few of them
oppose the war against human nature and against the cultural devises, such as the family, which have been developed to restraint people against excesses of consumption. Socialism will not do this, because it thinks of man as an economic animal, simply a factor among factors, sdomething to be manipulated.

It is good that he sees that it has caused a demographic catastrophe, but it would be even better if he called it what it is, and intrinsic evil. But one step at a time, I guess.

There was a spokesperson from the elizabethministry.com organization that support pregnant woman and those attempting to become pregnant on Relevant Radio’s Drew Mariani’s show this afternoon, talking about the damage the pill has done to our environment.

I had not heard much about this part of it. When a woman takes a birth control pill, it is excreted in her urine. The urine is then sent via the sewage system to the water treatment plant which cannot remove the estrogen from the water. So the estrogen is then introduced to the rivers, streams, lakes etc and is doing untold damage to the natural environment, particularly our fish, reptiles, amphibians and human beings and even the birds who eat the fish. Fish are displaying problems with their sexual organs, men are having less motility and sperm counts, baby boys are showing to be born with undescended testicles, which in turn need a surgery to correct the problem, women are having problems with fertility since they cannot restore their ovulation as easily. Even in Florida, the alligators have smaller genitalia making it harder for them to reproduce. The whole food chain is upset. There is scientific evidence in the water industry that the estrogen in these pills cannot be extracted from the water. So research is now looking at the impact it has on the environment. Scary stuff. So I can imagine that the inventor is feeling some remorse now that all this damage has already been done. More reasons to pray.
