Do christians realize that family planning doesn't mean abortion?

Question

There are many other aspects that are involved in the family planning process, not just abortion. So, when the current administration vetoes bills that withhold ALL funding for family planning facilities, that doesn't seem very smart, does it?

Carpenter, I personally do not believe in partial birth abortion. I'm talking about regular family planning. Where you made that jump, I have no idea. Plus, I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about women....American women. Where you made that jump, I don't know either. You pro-lifers have this issue so engrained in your head, you are ready for an arguement that isn't even there.

To the guy with no name: Birth control pills do NOT kill a fetus. Google how they work before you try to sound like you know what you're talking about. They keep the egg from being released from the ovary, so it can not be fertilized. There is no baby ever involved when you are taking birth control. *slapping forehead*

Answer 1

That's just another reason why a lot of us wonder about GWBush's intelligence, lol!!

As a Christian, that's why I'm not a conservative. I am completely opposed to abortion, but believe it is a huge mistake to want to overturn Roe V Wade. It's the modern-day parallel to the Prohibition of the 1920s. It will create an underground market for abortions and will not eliminate abortions. Christians who think that outlawing abortions will stop them are not thinking through the ramifications.

Answer 2

Funny how pro-lifers take one type of late term abortion, such as second trimester abortion (called partial birth by the pro-lifers), then blast earlier, first trimester abortions and even hormonal contraception. If they're going to blast the destruction of fertilized eggs that don't implant (1/2 fail to do so naturally) , then why not rail about the loss of a sperm or egg? Why not declare the death of life each time a woman ovulates and doesn't become pregnant? Because if we didn't have family planning widely available, you'd see women bearing far more children than they would otherwise choose.

Isn't it scary how many of them take this role if, "If you can't close your legs, you deserve the consequences?" As if childbearing should be a punishment for women, instead of a planned event, regardless? Ugh.

P.S. Roe vs. Wade allows for bans on abortion after viability, in the sixth month. Get a clue, posters.

Answer 3

Since when should it be a government agencies job to plan a family.

Birth control pills dear child its still an abortion. It kills the fetus.

Have you checked into the history of this organization or are you just a lemming marching to the liberal feminist drum. This organization was set up by a woman who wanted to control the black population by aborting their children and sterilization to that point that blacks would no longer exist in the United States. The woman was a hate mongering racist bigot.

But that's okay with you isn't honey as long as you get to play with no consequences.

You people are so intelligent. I love you all.

Breakthrough Ovulation Estimates for other "Birth Control" Methods:

1) Norplant has breakthrough ovulation 50-65% of the time.

2) Depo-Provera has breakthrough ovulation 40-60% of the time.

3) The IUD has breakthrough ovulation 100% of the time.

4) With over 17 million American women using the Pill and other chemical abortifacients, it is estimated that breakthough ovulation and pregnany occurs so often . . . that between 7 to 12 million newly conceived children are killed by chemical abortions in the womb each year. And most of these women never even knew they were pregnant.

(Sources for the four points listed under Breakthrough Ovulation Estimates above are as follows: 1) Hilgers, Dr. Thomas, "Norplant" Linacre Quarterly, 1993, p.64-69. 2) "Infant Homicides Through Contraceptives," 1994 by the Study of Abortion Deaths Ad Hoc Commission - Bardstown, KY. Ph: 502-348-3963. 3) ibid. 4) ibid.)

Say what? Hmm looks like there are some abortions happing after all. Dont you hate it when we use science on you.

Answer 4

Family planning does involve more than abortion. But I challenge you to find a "family planning" service which does not include abortion as one of its recommendations or services. As there is no possible way to prevent such clinics from using the money (or the faculties paid for by the money, or the staff paid for with the money) to support abortions, the only reasonable choice is to refuse all the funds.

If you want to allow funds for the other methods of family planning, it can be done very easily. Just join us in getting abortion outlawed, and you can have the money for everything else. Real simple solution.

Answer 5

I. for one, realize that the EXACT meaning of family planning should NOT only mean abortion. However, in today's American society most family planning facilities do exactly that. They, the family planning facilities, will largely promote abortion over other avenues, especially when it comes to difficult situations like teen pregnancies or pregnancies out of wed-lock. In fact, many facilities only take the aproach of abortion vice other alternatives. Family splanning SHOULDN'T be mean abortion but it does.

Answer 6

Husbands and wives have been planning their families for generations wihtout government help, and most of the funds the government provides get diverted to abortion and birth control groups, which end up killing innocent babies by the millions.

Government funding of those who are planning to kill babies doesn't seem very smart, does it?

Answer 7

Kids shouldn't be having sex anyway. We are ruining our children with sex. The current administration did not veto bills that would withold funding for all family planning facilities. Your mad because you can no longer kill a 9 month old baby in the womb.

Nice try but you are wrong.

Jesus is Lord

Answer 8

Most people do not realize the other things (good things) family planning clinics do to help underprivileged women. Because these clinics offer abortion, that makes them slaughter houses. Family planning clinics should not offer abortion. Then everything they do to help these women would be great. They would be serving the purpose their name instills.

Answer 9

I don't think that many of us do. If many of us did, we would see that not all of it is about abortion, but it also shows how to plan for a family ( hence the name) and gives out free birth control. If anything, Planned Parenthood is a huge blessing!

Answer 10

Just like the concentration camps of Auschwitz,Buchenwald and Dachau, were not necessarily a death sentence, for the Jews in Nazi Germany...many lived.
