"Tell Corporate Pharmacies to NOT Become Abortion Providers"
We MUST oppose all abortifacients – devices and chemicals - and not only mifepristone. “Not succumbing to duplicitous and novel wording, Church teaching still equates conception with fertilization – both being the very first moment of new life when the sperm meets the egg. While others may acknowledge that human life starts at conception, a bait and switch claims conception does not take place till implantation – making some early abortions only contraceptive….Such pro-abortion semantics allow for the erroneous claim that a drug acts only in a contraceptive manner when it might very well act in an abortifacient manner. Whether a so-called contraceptive ends a new life after implantation or possibly interferes with implantation after fertilization, both “fall within the sin of abortion and are gravely immoral” (Catholic Stand, 12/7/2022)

About the Author
Joe Tevington is a proudly orthodox Catholic, a husband since 1986, a dad to two married adult children, a grandpa to two, and a civil service retiree. He is a sign language fluent certified rehabilitation counselor with graduate degrees in deafness rehabilitation, religious studies/moral theology, & Christian counseling psychology, as well as a catechetical diploma and certificates in benefits planning and Catholic social ministry. He deeply appreciates Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the transmission of human life, as well as how they are to inform us in our apostolates and ministries.
On much lighter notes, he fancies himself to be the foremost authority on his native Brooklyn, when it comes to architecture, geography, history, Italian food, Saturday Night Fever, stick ball, stoop ball, or wiffle ball.
