Catholic church is digging a deeper hole for itself with natural family planning [View all]

The catholic church is starting up NFP centers called Gianna centers which practice the Creighton model of family planning. Problem is that there are no peer reviewed studies of the Creighton model on PubMed.

My concern is that a lot of state funds for family planning are getting shunted to abstinence only clinics. They offer free ultrasounds and then work on the women to carry their child to term no matter what. I think the church is teeing up these places to receive government money.

Planned parenthood can't compete with free ultrasounds and are not reciving the contracts on the state level.
