 "Promoting a
"family planning
first" strategy can
send a message to
poor people: `Wish
you weren't here’.”
– Amartya Sen.
 “The U.S. economy will require
large and increasing amounts of
minerals from abroad, especially
from less developed countries. …
Wherever a lessening of population
pressures through reduced birth
rates can increase the prospects for
such stability, population policy
becomes relevant to resource
supplies and to the economic
interests of the United States.”

Why We Cannot Lose Hope
“He [Jesus] said to me, “My
grace is sufficient for you, for My
power is made perfect in [your]
weakness.” I will all the more
gladly boast of my weaknesses,
that the power of Christ may rest
upon me. For the sake of Christ,
then, I am content with
weaknesses, insults, hardships,
persecutions and calamities; for
when I am weak [in myself], then I
am strong [in Him].”
– 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

The Origin of the Culture of Death
“If God were your Father you would
love Me ...you are of your father the
Devil, and your will is to do your father’s
desires. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and has nothing to do with
the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he lies, he speaks according
to his own nature, for he is a liar and
the father of lies.”

We Were Created to Fight for Life!
“... and you will be hated by all
nations for My Name’s sake. And
then many will fall away, and betray
one another, and hate one another.
And many false prophets will arise and
lead many astray. And because
wickedness is multiplied, most men’s
love will grow cold. But he who
endures to the end will be saved.”
– Matthew 24:9-13.
16
II. Characteristics of a Revolution

17
The Purposes of a Social Revolution

(1) To eradicate guilt; and

(2) To accumulate power.

18
Getting Rid of Guilt (1)

Fornicating teenagers feel

guilty about what they are
doing, and so they must be
reassured that they are not
doing anything wrong (“It’s
perfectly natural”), and that
they have every right to have
sex, as long as they “act
responsibly.”
19
Getting Rid of Guilt (2)

Women naturally feel that

abortion is wrong, and they
feel guilt when they kill their
preborn children. So they
must be told that “Abortion is
just another way of ending a
pregnancy, just like childbirth
is.”

20
 Getting Rid of Guilt (3)

Homosexuals are typically

plagued with guilt. Instead of
helping them change their deadly
and corrupted behavior, anti-
lifers tell them that they are
fine just the way they are, and
that the problem actually lies
with “homophobes.”
21
 Getting Rid of Guilt (4)

In Germany, prostitution is now

considered to be “just another
job.” So many married women
who have lost their jobs have
been told that if they do not
accept jobs as prostitutes, they
will lose their welfare benefits!

22
What Amuses Us?

23
24
Why Is Everything So Fouled Up?
“We make men without
chests and we expect of
them virtue and
enterprise.
We laugh at honor and
we are shocked to find
traitors in our midst.
We castrate and bid the
geldings be fruitful.”
— C.S. Lewis.
25
 Part III:

ATTACKS ON THE 26
Why Attack the Family?

27
1. Political and One-World Philosophy

“As long as the child breathes the

poisoned air of nationalism, education in
world-mindedness can produce only
rather precarious results. As we have
pointed out, it is frequently the family
that infects the child with extreme
nationalism. The school should
therefore use the means described
earlier to combat family attitudes that
favor jingoism ..."
— UNESCO in 1949.
28
 2. Lossthe
Completing ofRevolution:
Faith
Attacks on the Family
“We have to abolish the institution of
marriage ... By the year 2000 we will, I
hope, raise our children to
believe in human potential,
not God ... We must under-
stand that what we are
attempting is a revolution,
not a public relations move-
ment ... humanism is the goal.”
— Gloria Steinem. 29
Humanist Manifesto II (1973)

“Humanists still believe that traditional

theism, especially faith in the prayer-
hearing God, assumed to live and care for
persons, and to be able to do something
about them, is an unproved and outmoded
faith ... As non-theists, we begin with
humans, not God; nature, not deity ... We
can discover no divine purpose or
providence for the human species. No
deity can save us; we must save ourselves.”

30
 3. Pregnancy as a Disease
“We have yet to beat our public health
drums for birth control in the way we beat
them for polio vaccine; we are still unable
to put babies in the class of dangerous
epidemics, even though that is the exact
truth.”
— Mary Steichen Calderone, founder
of the Sexuality Information and
Education Council of the United
States (SIECUS).
31
 "The pill, in my opinion and that of my
colleagues, is an important prophylaxis,
perhaps the most important, against one
of the gravest sociomedical illnesses
extant. That, of course, is unwanted
pregnancy."
— Alan Guttmacher, M.D., former
Medical Director of the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America
(PPFA).

32
  "[Pregnancy] is an
episodic, moderately
extended, chronic
condition ... May be
defined as an
illness ... treated by
evacuation of the
uterine contents."
— Abortionist
Warren Hern.
33
4. Hatred of Love and Family

"We must destroy love ... Love

promotes vulnerability, dependence,
possessiveness, susceptibility to pain,
and prevents the full development of
woman's human potential by directing all
her energies outward in the interests of
others."
— Women's Liberation, Notes from
the Second Year.
34
 St. Paul on Love
Love is patient, love is kind. It is not
jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not
inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its
own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it
does not brood over injury, it does not
rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with
the truth. It bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
― I Corinthians 13:4-8.
"Being a housewife is an illegitimate
profession ... the choice to serve and
be protected and plan towards being
a family-maker is a choice that
shouldn't be. The heart of radical
feminism is to change that.“
— Vivian Gornick.

36
  "It is still possible for weak, stupid,
lazy, unambitious and otherwise lesser
equipped individuals to remain and make
their way within domestic work, both as
housewives and as servants. As for the
rest, prostitution is always available."
— Nobel Prize winners Alva and Gunnar
Myrdal.

37
 How Satan Perverts Love

• Love for God  Blasphemy, sacrilege,

indifference, agnosticism, atheism, and
Communism.
• Love of self  Overindulgence in and
addictions to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, food,
money, gambling, power, pornography and sex.
• Love of neighbor  Racism, theft,
embezzlement, cheating, slander and lies.

38
 How Satan Perverts Love

• Love of life  Genocide, murder, infanticide,

euthanasia, suicide, abortion, sterilization and
contraception.
• Natural sexual love  Homosexuality,
pedophilia, pornography, adultery,
masturbation, fornication, incest and rape.

39
 5. Eugenics Then
"Birth control of itself, by
freeing the reproductive instinct
from its present chains, will make
a better race. ... Eugenics without
birth control seems to us a house
built upon the sands. It is at the
mercy of the rising stream of the
unfit." — Margaret Sanger.

40
 Eugenics Now
"A woman who stays at home, caring for
children and the house, leads an extremely
sterile existence. This kind of woman
leads a parasitic existence that can aptly
be described as "legalized prostitution" ...
The time has not only come, it is past due,
when marriage and motherhood as a life's
goal should be cut out of the training of
the female child ... The day has come when
motherhood should be the lot and privilege
of a select minority.” — Robin Morgan.
41
 6. Free Sex!

"The family is the key institution for

the determination and perpetuation of
women's subordination, the place where
oppression is most excruciatingly
experienced ... Marriage, with its legal
obligations, institutionalized male
authority and compulsory
heterosexuality, is incompatible with
sexual freedom.”
freedom.“ — Mica Niva.
42
Types of Attacks on the Family

43
Types of Attacks on the Family

(1) Anti-family propaganda

(2) Break family links
(3) Encourage consumerism
(4) Dilute the meaning of “family”
(5) Day care (and stranger ideas)
(6) Simply declare the family dead

44
 Tactic #1:
Anti-Family Propaganda
Marxist Roots of the Attacks

“The family contains in germ not only

slavery, but also serfdom. ... The
married woman differs from the
ordinary courtesan in that she does not
let out her body on piece-work as a wage
worker, but sells it once and for all into
slavery. ... The family is founded on the
open or concealed domestic slavery of
the wife” — Friedrich Engels.

46
 Marxism in Modern Feminism

“Engels did observe that the original

division of labor was between man and woman
for the purposes of childbreeding; that within
the family. The husband was the owner, the
wife the means of production; the children
the labor; and that reproduction of the human
species was an important economic system
distinct from the means of production.”
— Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex.

47
Marxism in Modern Feminism

"Marry to get out from under

the bonds of slavery to enter into
a more deathlike slavery."
— Birth Control Review,
October 1925.

48
Marxism in Modern Feminism

“Since marriage constitutes slavery

for women, it is clear that the women's
movement must concentrate on
attacking this institution. Freedom for
women cannot be won without the
abolition of marriage."
— Sheila Cronan of the National
Organization for Women
(NOW).

49
 Anti-Family
Anti-Family Propaganda
Propaganda
"Every propaganda means, especially the
press, radio and movies, as well as pamphlets,
booklets, and lectures, must be used to
instill in the Russian population the idea that
it is harmful to have several children. We
must emphasize the expenses that children
cause, the good things that people could have
had with the money spent on them. We could
also hint at the dangerous effect of
childbearing on a woman's health.”
— Nazi demographics expert
Professor Heinrich Wetzel.
50
 Tactic #2:
Breaking the Links
Between Family Members
 Breaking the Links
Between Family Members (1)

• The Link Between God and the Family:

Agnosticism, atheism, indifferentism,
the “New Age,” situational ethics and
anti-apostolic propaganda.
• The Unitive Link Between Husband and
Wife: Divorce, adultery, prostitution and
the use of pornography.
• The Procreative Link Between Husband
and Wife: Abortion, contraception,
sterilization, masturbation and
homosexual acts.
52
 Breaking the Links
Between Family Members (2)

• The Link Between Parents and their

Children: Permissive sex education,
school-based clinics, “values
clarification,” parent licensing and
government-sponsored day-care
centers.
• The Link Between Parents and
Grandparents: Euthanasia and
“physician-assisted suicide.”

53
 Tactic #3:
Encourage Consumerism
 Indirect
Attacks on
the Family:
Encouraging
Consumerism,
Discouraging
Childbearing

55
4. Dilute the Meaning of “Family”

“The right to marry means little

if it does not include the right to
marry the person of one's choice."
— Massachusetts Supreme Judicial
Court, November 18, 2003.

56
 Diluting the
Meaning of “Family”
“Queer politics is no
longer content to carve
out a buffer zone for a minoritized and
protected subculture. Our goal is to
challenge the pervasive and often invisible
heteronormativity of modern societies ...
Our task is to confront modern culture
with its worst nightmare – a queer planet.”
– The 1993 “Queer Manifesto.”
57
Diluting the Meaning of “Family”

"Polygamy is the ultimate feminist

lifestyle. ... There's a shortage of good
guys worth marrying, so it's better if
many women marry the same man. I
chose to marry my husband. The fact
that he had five other wives was not a
barrier."
— Feminist lawyer Elizabeth Joseph.

58
Diluting the Meaning of “Family”
"Instead of marriage we want to promote
a co-habitation law that ignores gender and
allows more than two people in a
partnership.” — Tiina Rosenberg, Sweden.

59
Cluelessness on the Loose

60
5. Day Care and Stranger Ideas

"In order to raise children

with equality, we must take
them away from families and
communally raise them."
— MaryJo Bane, Assistant
Professor of Education at
Wellesley College.

61
 Cluelessness on the Loose
“It may be quicker and more efficient
to dispense with family-based
reproduction. Society could then
produce its future generations in
institutions that might resemble state-
sponsored baby hatcheries.”
— Time Magazine.

62
 Cluelessness on the Loose
"What if parents committed to gender equity
counteracted the effect of testosterone on boys in
the womb by complementing it with injections of
artificial female hormones? Structural gender
difference could be eradicated from the beginning.
Such a policy would lead to men and women with
normal bodies but identical feminine brains. War,
rape, boxing, car racing, pornography and
hamburgers and beer would
soon be distant memories. A
feminist paradise would have
arrived." — Andrew Sullivan.

63
6. Declare the Family Dead
"The traditional
family is disappearing
almost everywhere ...
patriarchal linear life
is economically now
over ... the one-earner,
middle-class family is
extinct."
— Lester C. Thurow.

64
 How Can You Defend Against
Attacks on the Family?
• Set the example: Avoid evil!
• Remember our priorities: God first, family or
ministry second, and pro-life activism third.
• Get your children involved in the fight against
the Culture of Death.
• Homeschool if possible – and it is possible.
• Attend church with your children.
• Get your kids involved with other Christian
children.
• Laugh at the idiots who produce stupid ideas.
65
IV: Attacks on the Church

66
What Do Anti-Theists Want?
“I would like to see religion abolished
as an institution, not just in this country,
but worldwide ... it is indeed a form of
mental illness. All churches should be
closed down as unfit for human
habitation. The ideas promulgated by
churches are injurious to mankind ... I
see no problem with government closure
of churches ... What we really want is to
see religion wither and die on the vine.”
– “The
— “TheGoals
GoalsofofAtheism”
Atheism” 67
 "... the power of government can be
legitimately used against illiberal churches
because doing so promotes greater
freedom. ... Despite the Constitution's
explicit prohibition of any religious test
for public office, certain religious
believers (notably Catholics) can justly be
excluded from certain public functions,
such as serving as judges."
— Steven Macedo. The New Right
Versus the Constitution [1987].
68
69
71
 “The pope is a threat to everyone on
the planet. We must pursue a one-child
family norm as quickly as possible. ... All
relevant U.S. policy should promote a
goal of a one-child family everywhere.
We must achieve this goal as quickly as
possible. ... I cannot emphasize strongly
enough that the Vatican is a political
power whose security interests are in
conflict with U.S. security interests.”
– Population controller Stephen D. Mumford. 72

75
Why Destroy Church and Family?

(1) To complete the anti-life revolution;

- Freedom from religion.
- Freedom from gender.
- Freedom from choice.
- Freedom from thought.
(2) To eliminate guilt.
(3) To enable complete freedom of action.
(4) To control the troublesome remnant.

with the POPE

1. Pray
2. Organize
3. Plan
4. Expose

85
How to Fight Anti-Family
and Anti-Religious Bigots
• Pray.
• Organize and train.
• Really learn your Faith!
• Learn the battlefield.
• Know anti-life strategies.
• Keep the right attitude.
• Never give an inch!
• Support faithful men and
women religious.
86
 The Right Attitude
“Therefore, having this
ministry by the mercy of God,
we do not lose heart. ... We
are afflicted in every way, but
not crushed; perplexed, but
not driven to despair;
persecuted, but not forsaken;
struck down, but not
destroyed; always carrying in
the body the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may
also be manifested in our
bodies.”
– 2 Corinthians 1, 8-10.
87
 We Are Called to be
Obedient, Not Victorious!

• We have been conditioned to win.

• When we can’t see the results of our
efforts, we lose interest and give up.
• Victory is in God’s hands, not ours.
• Worrying less about winning will make
you more durable and focused.
• “The horse is made ready for the day of
battle, but the victory belongs to the
Lord” — Proverbs 21:31.
88
 “When we face that awesome moment,
the final judgment, it is a terrible
moment of loneliness. You are there
alone standing before God – and a terror
will rip your soul like nothing you can
imagine. But there’ll be a chorus of
voices that are heard beautifully and
clearly in the next world – and they will
plead for everyone who has been in this
movement. They will say to God, “Spare
him, because he loves us,” and God will
look at you and say not, “Did you
succeed?” but “Did you try”?”
89
 “... be steadfast,
immoveable, always
abounding in the work
of the Lord, knowing
that, in the Lord, your
labor is not in vain.”
– 1 Corinthians 15:58.
