POPSHell's Angel - A Documentary for the Discerning
I used to be a great admirer of Mother Theresa. I even met her, heard her speak and was kissed by her. It wasn't until fairly recently I started to question the "goodness" of her work - particularly in the arena of abortion and contraception. If I was a young/older mother incapable (financially, physically, emotionally, mentally) of supporting and caring for my about to be born child, would I still choose to have it. If I knew, that by allowing this child to be born, the most likely scenario of life that it had to look forward to was an over crowded orphanage, would I still choose to bring that child into the world? If I genuinely, in my heart of hearts knew I was not the mothering kind and my boyfriend also did not want a baby, but our families were putting pressure on us to have one would I be condemned for wanting to "sell my child for $30 to some utter stranger? (recent newsclip on clipmarks) If I genuinely loved children, would I knowingly bring them into a life where all t

POPSGet Lots of Safe Sex with Condoms The simplest yet most effective contraception is here. If you are running out of condoms, it’s time to buy one or one dozen. There are a lot of condoms in the market but trusting the most durable is a wise option.

POPSBans do not cut abortion rate Let me put it out there that I do not agree with abortions as a means of birth control! I think women (and men) need to use contraceptives BEFORE having sex, if they don't want to take the chance of getting pregnant.

POPSStudy - Bans 'do not cut abortion rate' In the developed world, legal restrictions did not stop abortion but just meant it was "exported", with Irish women for instance simply travelling to Europe, according to Guttmacher's director, Dr Sharon Camp. In the developing world, it meant lives were put at risk. "Too many women are maimed or killed each year because they lack legal abortion access," she said. "The gains we've seen are modest in relation to what we can achieve. Investing in family planning is essential - far too many women lack access to contraception, putting them at risk." Josephine Quintavalle of the pro-life Comment on Reproductive Ethics said stopping women falling pregnant in the first place was an area where minds could meet. "Abortion - back street or front street - is not the answer. Ensuring women have the means to end their pregnancies is not liberating them - they should be able to make real choices before they fall pregnant in the first place," she said.

POPSUSA: Panel votes to restore abstinence education money Late last night, Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) pushed through an amendment in the Senate Finance Committee authorizing $50 million in funding for abstinence-only programs as part of Health Care Reform- despite over 10 years of evidence that these programs do not work. By a razor-thin vote of 12-11, the Senators on the Finance Committee gave conservative ideology a victory over science and common sense. See ↗ Advocates For Youth .

POPSMahatma Gandhi and Margaret Sanger "In January of 1936, a meeting took place between Mohandas Gandhi and Margaret Sanger . The subject of their conversation that day was contraception. Mrs. Sanger was, at that time, the archpriestess of the birth control movement in the United States . For her, as well as for her legion of followers, "birth control" meant contraception. Gandhi had a different understanding of birth control. For him it meant self-control."

POPSMadonna Gandhi visits Calcutta 'Princess Di, me, Princess Di, even Princess Di did it, but I'm not doing it any more. That's why I'm here, doing good for children rather than getting myself in the news for buying another African kid.' Many were impressed by Gandhi's actions, including the Pope, and he had this to say about the Madonna: 'If it wasn't for the Church banning contraception, there would be no African children up for adoption. Luckily Madonna is now doing practical things to help children, rather than taking one or two out of their safe environments, and turning them into a freak show in America.'

POPSContraception Cheapest Way to Combat Climate Change This is sure to stir some controversy, but it's important to remember, that this isn't about de population, (killing people already born) but simply about reducing population growth (slowing down the rate at which people are born). I am all for it.

POPSKnoledge is Power, Except in Sex Ed "There's a chance that, in the U.S., UNESCO's recommendations will be drowned out by the knee-jerk outrage of conservative pundits.But at least the guidelines can undergo sober and thoughtful examination in more open-minded places ... like Ethiopia"

POPSGovernor's Race Erupts Over McDonnell's Past Views:Ladies drop the shoes and go back to the kitchen In the thesis, "The Republican Party's Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of The Decade," McDonnell described working women as "detrimental" to the traditional family. He criticized a U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing contraception for unmarried couples and decried the "purging" of religion from schools. He advocated character education programs in public schools to teach "traditional Judeo-Christian values," and he criticized federal tax credits for child care expenditures because they encouraged women to enter the workforce.

POPSChina Performs 13 Million Abortions Yearly China imposed strict birth controls in the 1970s, limiting most couples to just one child. Sterilization and the use of intrauterine devices, or IUDs, for women are widely promoted — and subsidized — forms of contraception for married women. However, the policy tends to overlook the contraception needs of unmarried women even as attitudes toward casual sex have dramatically liberalized. Seems sex education in schools should become a priority.

POPSPro-Life Democrat Gets Booted for Supporting Contraception It is the height of irony in the pro-life movement that many do not support contraception as a way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Excepting those with arcane theological reasons for the position, it indicates to me that many in the pro life movement actually want unwed mothers to get pregnant, deliver their babies, and experience all of it as a punishment for having sex outside of marriage. They don't care about life. They care about punishing carnality.

POPSGovernment Program Aimed at Teen Pregnacy Fails Once again the enlightened and educated amongst us prove once again that COMMON SENSE has died. These government programs in England and in New York are destined to fail because of the very foundation they are attempting to build upon. Instead of teaching these AT RISK young ladies about self-esteem, and the virtues of a chaste lifestyle, they reason that since these girls are going to have sex anyway we might as well teach them about sex. And like every other government mandated program IT FAILED! Not only did it fail it FAILED miserably.The truth is it made the matter worse than if they would have left the girls alone. Sound familiar?
