Wisconsin Right to Life views the idea that the pill causes abortions as "speculation," according to executive director Barbara Lyons.There is a place for groups like WRTL, and I mean that. Politics is a tricky game. When Protestant groups first began supporting contraception in the 1930s(and a very limited support at that), it left a rift there for future generations of Christians who would never be taught what a natural marriage really is. Certainly they should still be given a voice in the pro-life movement without having to contradict what their own denomination teaches on the matter. I know, there are good people involved with Wisconsin Right to Life. But all of that said, there is nothing more scandalous than hearing that Catholic dioceses in this state take direction from and fund raise for Wisconsin Right to Life. We have been given Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae(The Gospel of Life). We can't simply reject Church teaching because we might score some token political points. Christ's Church has a plan not just for how we personally must act, but how laws and society should reflect that plan.
Do you really believe abortion can totally and completely be defeated in our lifetime? If not, you should find another movement. If so, then how will you do it? Compromising the Gospel of Life is admitting defeat. Supporters of Wisconsin Right to Life, consider contacting the home office and ask them to reconsider their position on this important legislation, and ask what their alternative plan is for defeating abortion in Wisconsin.
