With Jesus and my son in the garden of Gethsemane
On the night He was betrayed, Jesus went into the garden of Gethsemane and began the climactic experience of His life on earth-His passion, crucifixion, death, and resurrection-with fervent prayer to His Father, our God and Creator. In that garden, Jesus was well aware of what was about to happen and why. As Saint Mark's Gospel records, "He [Jesus] advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass by Him; He said, 'Abba, Father, all things are possible to You.

Instead, they take a perfectly healthy reproductive system and render it dysfunctional and sterile. Hormonal contraceptives are also associated with increased blood pressure, blood clots and an increased risk for breast cancer. In addition, hormonal contraceptives have been shown to double the risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. No medical association recommends the use of hormonal contraceptives as routine preventive care for healthy women. They are only used for the disruption of normal fertility. In light of these facts, it becomes difficult to argue that the use of contraception, sterilization and abortion inducing drugs are required preventive medicine. These are purely elective treatments that prevent the natural and healthy consequences of a certain lifestyle choice. Pro-choice advocates demand that the Catholic Church "stay out of the bedroom," then they demand that the Church pick up the tab for what happens in the bedroom |
|  Life News "Contraception reduces unintended pregnancies" has joined its fantastic make-believe friends "death with dignity," the "efficacy" of embryonic stem cells, the "certainty" of man-made global warming, and the "positive" multiplier effect in the leftist vernacular.
