As such, a woman’s physical body, which is designed to bear, nourish,
and nurture life, is a sign of a soul that is called to do the same.
The physical design speaks to the spiritual call, to the need for women
to cultivate our interior disposition to love everyone and everything
with a mother’s love, tending to the lost, the wounded, and the
forgotten, while nourishing and nurturing all who cross our path with
wisdom, compassion, and attention.
Motherhood truly is women’s genius. Motherhood is women’s call. And
our broken, battered, bleeding world needs us ever so desperately to
answer that call. It’s crying out for us. It’s longing for women, all
women, to be who we’re called to be and to show the culture the face of
God as only women can.
And that is what Planned Parenthood and its fellow travelers have set themselves dead against.
They don’t want women to understand the truth about our nature. They
don’t want us to think of our fertility as the physical expression of a
spiritual reality, an integral part of who we are, and a sign of who
we’re called to be. Whether they know it or not, they don’t want us to
be women at all.
What they do want is for us to think of our fertility as a problem to
be managed and motherhood (as the commenter framed it) as a primitive
biological urge inferior to higher ideological “urges” like being a
doctor or a lawyer. Again, they want us to think of it as a choice, not
as a divine task to be taken up by every woman according to her vocation
and state in life. That’s why they’re all for the government or
employers picking up the tab on the medical costs associated with
preventing pregnancy, but not the medical costs associated with
facilitating pregnancy.
Not to go all Rick Santorum on you, but I think it’s pretty safe to
say that for almost 100 years, Planned Parenthood has been in bed with
the devil. It has sought to destroy entire races. It has slaughtered the
innocent. And it has relentlessly peddled a twisted ideology calculated
to destroy the feminine genius, helping lead countless women down a
path of self-destruction, a path where they are used, abused, and
discarded like yesterday’s trash.
It hasn’t brought freedom. It hasn’t liberated women. It has enslaved
them. And it’s done so wearing the mask of a benevolent health care
provider.
