Pregnancy Centers at: www.lcultrasound.org or at Director of Fertility and Life Ministries for the
www.facebook.com/lcultrasound Diocese of Lansing. Jenny writes:
“It's often times hard to accept that
contraception and abortion are linked. After all,
we're told that if women have access to
contraception, then they won't have unplanned
pregnancies and, thus, will not turn to abortion.
The reality is vastly different though.”
“The underlying decision to reject life but
still engage in life-producing activities is present in
both contraception and abortion. A couple who
uses contraception has already rejected the
possibility of life so when the contraceptive fails to
prevent a pregnancy, it is difficult, if not
impossible, for many to suddenly accept this new
life. This leads many to turn to abortion.”
“The other lie that is often perpetuated is
that contraceptives are nearly ‘full-proof’. This is
far from the truth. The average birth control pill
fails to prevent pregnancy between eight and ten
percent of the time. Considering how many women
are using the birth control pill on a daily basis
(often times in non-permanent relationships), the
number of unplanned, unwanted pregnancies is
astronomical.”
“This link between contraception and
abortion is inseparable. And in order to truly end
abortion in our country, it cannot be ignored.”
Pope Saint John Paul II, pray for us!

Sharing the Gospel
A man came up to Jesus with sores all over his body. He wore a
hood over his head and a robe with long sleeves to hide his
sores. He said, "If you want to, you can heal me." Jesus touched
him and said, "I do want to. Now your sores are gone." Jesus
said, "Do not tell anyone about your healing." The man was too
excited to keep a secret. He told everyone he met.
Prayer
Lord, please heal me when I am sick.
Something to Draw
Draw a man with sores all over his body. Then draw the sores
gone.
