I agree!! **Here’s what I’m doing **to help stop untimely pregnancies.Thanks estesbob. I am so tired of the “back alley abortion” myth - even the Dr. who testified for Roe in Roe v Wade said that the numbers were gravely inflated.
As a matter of fact, abortion clinics today have no regulation whatsoever and many are not sanitary at all. Would you get a major surgical procedure done in unsanitary conditions? That makes them no better than that back alley abortion so often talked about.
I will say that in my world the goal might not be achievable but it is a goal worth seeking! I stand by what I said that the goal is to eliminate abortions.
I don’t want to see women get abortions, they are not safe and damage more than their bodies! I have a friend who had one shortly after they were made legal, she is in her 50’s (she might be 60 now, don’t remember) but she is just now opening up about it and admitting that had she had known about a Crisis Pregnancy Center that baby would be alive today! She did go on to have three beautiful daughters with her second husband.

Pro-life WI is dedicated to no exceptions for rape and incest and we support our local pregnancy ctr which has an excellent number of programs, though still small.
Our local chapter of PLW is going to make a concentrated effort at promoing chastity in a program we are giving this fall for Catholic jr high boys and girls. We figured to target Catholic kids first as we will probably get a smaller group and didn’t want to be overwhelmed with numbers. There are also a couple other churches who target teen girls. The Theology of the Body materials have come out just in time for us to incorporate it into the program, which for now, is just 4 hrs (starting off with lunch and music - hopefully door prizes will also be attractive).
Anyway, we figure that one has to make an effort to get to the root of the problem which is living a Godly life, and realizing what God’s plan is for you – it’s NOT to objectify another human being or to use your own body for recreation. It helps us realize what our **purpose **is in life, and that’s something teens really are interested in. Hopefully some will attend who haven’t heard this msg before.
Of course, there’s more to the TOB than that, but I am hoping this really catches on in our area, with everyone, parents, couples, teens, all ages!
What do you think can be done? What are you doing?
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!
