Slippery slopes

"What Next in the Marriage Debate?"

“It’s going to get worse before it gets a lot worse.”

"‘Gay’ Marriage and Contraception."

In every nation, bar none, contraception has led to abortion—and from abortion to infanticide, the prelude to full-blown euthanasia! Once the purposes of sex are torn loose from procreation and the family, the homosexual thrust rears its ugly head, teen pregnancies and abortions sky-rocket, VD burgeons out of control, the divorce rate escalates, the birthrate falls, while the barnyard approach to birth control called sterilization becomes commonplace. Soon we see the swift disintegration of the family.

At this point in our history as a nation, and particularly as Catholics, we should be able to see clearly, based on what has already transpired in the culture and the law, that Wednesday’s Supreme Court decisions are not really a surprise at all. In fact, they represent a natural progression in man’s desire to denigrate the natural law, distort it, and otherwise trample on truth in deference to politically popular buzzwords such as “freedom of choice” or “personal rights.”

Sexual morality

• If contraception is acceptable, why not same sex marriages? Sterile sex is sterile sex; all that matters is pleasure (hedonism).
• If same sex marriages are acceptable, why not polygamy (multiple wives)? It's a natural arrangement in many human cultures (most especially in Islam and Mormonism).
• If polygamy is acceptable, why not polandry (multiple husbands)? Some tribes allow this.
• If polygamy and polyandry are acceptable, why not polyamorous marriages (any combination agreed to by the partners)? It's all a private matter; the state has no interest in what happens between consenting adults behind closed doors.
• If prostitution and swinging are OK, what's wrong with adultery?

• If polyamory is acceptable, why not swinging (couples engaging in sex with multiple partners)?

• If it is legal for same-sex couples to adopt children, why not same sex marriage?

• If contraception in marriage is acceptable, why not prostitution?
• If contraception in marriage is acceptable, why not incest?

• If pleasure is all that matters, what is wrong with oral sex or anal sex?
• If pleasure is all that matters, what is wrong with bestiality?

Abortion

• If abortion is a right, what right do doctors have not to provide abortions?
• If abortion is a right, what is wrong with infanticide? Diagnosis of birth defects and murdering the child are both easier once the baby's body is extracted from the mother's body.
• If abortion is morally acceptable, what's wrong with breeding babies to provide body parts for adults?
• If abortion is morally acceptable, what's wrong with using the unborn human being as a lab rat? What's wrong with running experiments on the unborn, then murdering them in the womb?

Euthanasia

• If humans have a right to die, then what right do doctors have not to murder them?
