Well said TRT.

I think back in our culture, to some of the great shows back in the day. Take The Brady Bunch, for example. The creators debated having Mrs. Brady be a divorced woman, but ultimately decided not to due to fear of backlash at the time. If that show were created in today's time, there would probably be a backlash because of the representation of a traditional family on TV.

We have slowly gained "tolerance" for lifestyles contrary to Biblical and natural belief. From abortion to gay rights to now transgender celebrations, we are taking all the wrong steps as a country.

Political parties have been a factor in destroying us from within. Back in the 1950's Dwight Eisenhower had some support in both parties. At one time his rating with Democrats polled around 50% - which would be unthinkable in this time. Since then, approval ratings for each president have become higher and higher within their own party while decreasing with the opposing party.

Part of this problem with planned parenthood stems from that, political parties. Most of the Democrats truly feel that this is wrong, and several liberal organizations (Ex: University of Missouri) have distanced themselves from planned parenthood. Even Joe Biden believes that abortion is wrong. Unfortunately, at this time he doesn't have the courage to take a stand and say that it should be illegal.

Yeah, Biden has been asked about that in the past. But as I said, the priority with these guys will always be politics and concerns about what they say, because ultimately those things might negatively affect their base. But, where the Catholic Church is concerned, I have read several articles suggesting the Church is presently undergoing careful reformation.
