5. "Promoting a
"family planning first"
strategy can send a
message to poor
people: 'Wish you
weren't here’.”
– Amartya Sen.

7. “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.”

10. 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.

11. The “Lineup” from the Eternal Perspective
The Culture of Death
Satan and all of his
demons
The Culture of Life
God the Father
God the Son

12. The Origin of the Culture of Death

13. 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.”
– John 8:42,44.

14. Contrasts Between the Culture
of Life and the Culture of Death
Prudence
Temperance
Fortitude
Justice
Faith
Hope
Charity
Recklessness
Self-Indulgence
Cowardice
Unfairness
Skepticism
Despair
Selfishness

15. Brute Demographics

16. 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.

17. II. Characteristics of a Revolution

18. The Purposes of a Social Revolution
(1) To eradicate guilt; and
(2) To accumulate power.

19. 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.”

20. 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.”

21. 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.”

22. 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!

23. What Amuses Us?

25. 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.

26. ATTACKS ON THE
Part III:

27. Why Attack the Family?Why Attack the Family?

28. “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.

1. Political and One-World Philosophy

29. Completing the Revolution:
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.
2. Loss of Faith

30. 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.”

31. “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).

3. Pregnancy as a Disease

32. "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).

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

34. "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.

4. Hatred of Love and Family

35. 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.

36. "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.

37. "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.

38. 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.

39. 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.

40. 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.

41. 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.

42. "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.“ —
Mica Niva.

43. Types of Attacks on the FamilyTypes of Attacks on the Family

44. 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

45. Tactic #1:

Tactic #1:
Anti-Family Propaganda

46. 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.

47. 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.

49. “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."

Organization for Women
(NOW).

50. "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.

51. Tactic #2:
Breaking the Links
Between Family Members

52. 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.

53. 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.”

54. Tactic #3:
Encourage Consumerism

55. Indirect Attacks
on
the Family:
Encouraging
Consumerism,
Discouraging
Childbearing

56. “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.
4. Dilute the Meaning of “Family”

57. 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.”

58. "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.

59. 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.

60. Cluelessness on the Loose

61. "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.
5. Day Care and Stranger Ideas

62. “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.
Cluelessness on the Loose

63. "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
Cluelessness on the Loose
hamburgers and beer would
soon be distant memories. A
feminist paradise would have
arrived." — Andrew Sullivan.

64. "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.
6. Declare the Family Dead
"The traditional family
is disappearing almost
everywhere ...
patriarchal linear life is

over ... the one-earner,
middle-class family is
extinct."
— Lester C. Thurow.

65. 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.

66. IV: Attacks on the Church

67. Gnosticism: We can be saved
by knowledge.
Agnosticism: Knowledge is
limited. There may be a God,
but we cannot confirm His
existence.
Atheism: There is no God.
Anti-theism: Theism must be
destroyed.

71. 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 Goals of Atheism”
“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 Goals of Atheism”

72. "... 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].

76. “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.

78. Why Destroy Church and Family?
(1) To complete the anti-life revolution;
- Freedom from religion.
- Freedom from gender.
- Freedom from choice.
- Freedom from thought.
(1) To eliminate guilt.
(2) To enable complete freedom of action.
(3) To control the troublesome remnant.

How to Fight Anti-Family
and Anti-Religious Bigots

89. 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.

– 2 Corinthians 1, 8-10.

90. 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.

91. “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”?”

92. ““... be steadfast,... be steadfast,
immoveable, alwaysimmoveable, always
abounding in the workabounding in the work
of the Lord, knowingof the Lord, knowing
that, in the Lord, yourthat, in the Lord, your
labor is not in vain.”labor is not in vain.”
–– 1 Corinthians 15:58.1 Corinthians 15:58.
