#525 Is Pete Buttigieg Correct? Does Abortion on Demand Make Men Freer?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

In today's episode Jack and Linda Pieper link the insights of St. John Paul II's theology of the body, audience #97, as a roadmap for returning to our divine purpose amidst the brokenness we encounter daily.

Love versus lust—a distinction that's crucial yet often misunderstood. We discuss how the loss of supernatural grace has led to humanity's moral decline, critiquing contemporary views on relationships and procreation. 

Recently, during a Zoom fundraising event for “White Dudes for Harris,” U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said that men have more freedom in a country where abortion on demand is the norm, because they do not have to take responsibility for their actions. According to Buttigieg, legal abortion makes men freer than they would be without it. 

The implication was clear: abortion “frees” men from accountability, implying that women’s lives and choices are secondary to men’s convenience. Buttigieg’s remarks also overlook the profound effects—both physical and emotional—that abortion has on women.--Fr. Shenan Boquet

Marriage isn't just a social contract; it's a sacrament intertwined with redemption. Referencing insights from John Paul II and Christopher West, we explore how the union of man and woman mirrors the sacrament of redemption. We delve into societal issues such as LGBTQ+ relationships and pro-abortion platforms, emphasizing the necessity of returning to the grace offered by the sacraments.

Reflecting on the spiritual fruitfulness and motherhood within the Church, we highlight the spiritual battle against the distortions of sin and evil, advocating for a return to Christ's teachings to restore the sanctity of marriage and family and the dignity of woman in our civilization.
