There but for the grace of God. 

I was reading the account of a person’s trip through the seedy sections of a large city, and I got the impression the writer had been disgusted by what he saw.  The men and women were referred to as bums, druggies, and hookers.  The writer lives in the suburbs, hence the apparent cultural shock.  Most of us who live comfortable, insulated lives experience similar reactions when we are confronted with such ne’er-do-wells.  “Low lifes” like these are such that the Pharisees very well would have  condemned them and said, as they told the man born blind in today’s Gospel: “You are steeped in sin since your birth…” (John 9:34)

Some of them who thought they were better than others (the Pharisees), said to him, “You are not calling us blind, are you?” 

“Jesus said to them, “If you were blind there would be no sin in that.  ‘But we see,’ you say, and your sin remains.” (John 9:40-41)

Modern Pharisees can thank God they are not like other lay-abouts, because they have jobs, credit cards, a 401k, health insurance, and homes in the suburbs.

And not just the unborn.

Well, we already know Planned Parenthood is harmful to black folk - that story was just in limited circulation  a couple of days ago.  We know the organization is harmful to the unborn and their mothers by providing abortion services.  We also know they promote teen sex, and now the organization is not only teaching about the joys of pornography - they are providing it for the kids as well.

“Outercourse”

“A Planned Parenthood web site for teenagers is promoting pornography to young people, Cybercast News Service reports. An article posted on the Planned Parenthood-sponsored Teenwire.com web site advises teens that pornography is a “lower-risk form of outercourse.”

“Many couples can read or watch sexy stories or pictures together,” the article, originally posted on Teenwire.com in 2007, states. “They can also share or act out sex fantasies.”

Another piece of advice on the website, “Porn vs. Reality,” warns that it is against federal law for anyone under 18 to view pornography. But, says the article, “not everyone follows the rules, and you may run across some porn before you turn 18.”

Many people enjoy pornography “alone or with a partner,” says the article. “People have different ideas of what is arousing, and there are many different kinds of porn that appeal to people’s different interests.”  - California Catholic

Politicians such as Obama offer full support to organizations  such as Planned Parenthood, and yet they claim to be pro-family.  Talk about an “evil empire”.
