New York, December 1 – Two new radio advertisements for condom use began to target Catholics in the U.S. Hispanic community here today, World AIDS Day, with the message that “good Catholics use condoms” to protect the people they love.

The 60-second Spanish-language ads, which will air nationwide in 2009, “take on myths about condom use in Catholic and Latino communities,” said a statement from the sponsors, the Washington-based nonprofit organization Catholics for Choice and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.

“Catholics use condoms because we know it is the responsible, loving and caring thing to do,” said Jon O’Brien, president of Catholics for Choice. Catholicism “has not always been honest about sex,” he said, adding that the spots will “break the silence” in the Latino community and encourage safer sex.

Hispanics now suffer 20 percent of new U.S. HIV infections and Latina teens are twice as likely to have an unintended pregnancy as their non-Hispanic peers, said Silvia Henriquez, executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. “It is time we protect ourselves and our partners.”

One of the ads features a grandmother talking about her grandson, who is gay, and the other involves a couple discussing the importance of love, faith and condom use in their relationship. “We are Catholics and people of faith and we know sex is sacred and that we need to take care of each other. And this means using a condom every time we have sex,” the second ad says.

Well if “good Catholics” use condoms, than Lord preserve me in being a “bad Catholic” in their understanding. This is certainly part of what Isaiah said “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.”

They also don’t explain why a Catholic couple faithful to Church teaching would ever need a condom in the first place? Fidelity to the marriage covenant is a hundred percent effective on STDs. Though I guess there view of the world is that you can’t trust your spouse. Or that fornication/adultery are acceptable choices anyway. But for them it is all “good.” Plus they are using the old time eugenics policies of Planned Parenthood, that is going after minorities.

The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), often called the “Planned Parenthood of the UK” has release an ad to promote morning-after (abortion) pills. The St. John’s Valdosta Blog has the ad which has to be seen to be believed. Though you will need a palate cleanser afterward.

In other sleazy news Dawn Eden passes along the following information to me.

Planned Parenthood, which made headlines a few months back with its ultra-creepy teen sex-ed Web site TakeCareDownThere.org (which now has its offensive videos back online after having taken them down temporarily), also produces the utterly puerile “Speaking of Sex” YouTube series and podcast . 

The latest taxpayer-subsidized “Speaking of Sex” video is unusually revolting and offensive, even for Planned Parenthood. It’s aimed, as usual, at teens–but send your little ones out of the room before watching it on Planned Parenthood’s official YouTube site:,

Incidentally, at the bottom of Planned Parenthood’s Web page on in-clinic abortion , the organization promises, “A short video about abortion procedures is under production.” Something tells me it won’t look anything like Father Frank Pavone’s excellent “This Is Abortion” series.

What to get for the girl who doesn’t want to have anything? The Planned Parenthood Christmas gift certificate:

“Looking for an unusual, yet practical gift this holiday season? Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) is now offering gift certificates for services or the recipient’s choice of birth control method,” the abortion business says.

The gift certificates can be purchased in increments of $25 online at the group’s web site or for any amount at some of PPIN’s 35 statewide facilities.

While PPIN president and CEO Betty Cockrum says they can be redeemed for contraception, birth control and legitimate medical services like breast exams and Pap tests, they can also be used to pay for abortions.

“Why not buy a loved one a gift this holiday season that they really need,” Cockrum says in a press release LifeNews.com obtained. “The gift certificates are also a wonderful idea for that person in your life who puts everyone else first.”

Ah, if only King Herod had sent one to Mary . . . Do they have musical cards that play “When A Child Isn’t Born”?

Mark Steyn titled his post Complete with Attractive Gift Card Showing Baby-free Manger!

Since 2002 Planned Parenthood has sold Choice on Earth cards and i once provided a “Baby-free Manger” for them.

Though it looks like Planned Parenthood has closed down it’s online store except for publications this year. So maybe this year we won’t have “Choice on Earth” cards, just “gift” cards. Gee at one time I thought it was called the gift of life, not a “gift” card can be used for the “gift” death.

Besides nothing celebrates the birth of our savior Jesus Christ like a Planned Parenthood gift card for abortion and contraception. King Herod must be pleased that the murder of innocents continues to this day and now you can use a convenient “gift” card to sponsor it. The Planned Parenthood gift card, “Don’t leave womb without it.” In fact just don’t leave womb in a single piece.

Their “gift” card should look like this.

President-elect Obama has named the executive director of Emily’s List — Ellen Moran — as White House communications director.

Yes the director of the pro-abortion PAC that since its founding in 1984 has raised over $240 million to elect 71 pro-choice Democratic women to the U.S. House, 13 to the U.S. Senate, and eight governors. Another pro-abortion “moderate” for the Obama administration.

I do find it interesting how much grief so-called single issue voters get, yet Emily’s list which is a single issue PAC for a single gender seems to be immune to this charge by the left. I guess you can be a single-issue type as long as you are on the right side of the single issue.

Plus we got pro-abortion Catholic Tom Daschle as the Secretary of Health and Human Services in Obama’s Cabinet. From the vice-president on down we are getting cafeteria Catholics galore. They will work quite well with Nancy “I still haven’t gotten around to speaking with my bishop yet” Pelosi.

None of this bothers me though. After all Catholic Obama supporters told us that Obama is really more pro-life and that his policies will reduce abortion. Strangely I had never come up with the idea of appointing a militantly pro-abortion women as White House Communication Directory or appointing others all on the same side of the pro-abortion deep end. Silly me I would have thought that this would have a negative effect on a policy to reduce abortion.

I guess I am just so politically naive that I don’t understand how promising to approve FOCA which removes every single state law restricting abortion will reduce abortion. I actually thought that it was parental notification and laws regarding ultrasounds that were mainly what have lead to a decline in surgical abortions in recent years. Hey maybe we need to get rid of laws regarding murder to reduce the murder rate. Let’s put fried chocolate candy bars at the top of the food pyramid to improve nutrition.

We have so much to learn from Obama Catholics in this non-intuitive way of being pro-life. I can hardly wait for Obama’s pro-Roe v Wade Supreme Court picks that will keep states from regulating abortion as a way to reduce abortion. Plus getting rid of the Mexico City Policy and the Hyde Amendment are more ways to reduce abortion.

I can hardly wait for President Obama’s message for the March for Life which occurs 2 days after his inauguration. It will surely be a cheery message about children being a punishment and how it is all above his paygrade.
