Are They Victims of the Sexual Revolution?

By Lisa Correnti | February 5, 2014

Young women representing a feminist pro-abortion group have been launching attacks against members of the Church hierarchy for adhering to Church teaching and supporting public policy that safeguards the dignity of the human person. AFP reported on the latest incident in which semi-nude women attacked the Archbishop of Madrid for supporting pending legislation in Spain that would restrict abortion.

The anger demonstrated by these young women is obviously misguided. The real source of their suffering is from the emptiness they feel from buying into the sexual freedom myth that indoctrinated them since their youth.

The California based, Ruth Institute will host a conference this month to offer healing to women that have been wounded by the sexual revolution.

The Ruth Institute identifies victims of the contraceptive culture as the following:

  • The Cohabiting Woman, who would like to get married, but who can’t get her boyfriend to commit.
  • The Heartbroken Career Woman, who has accomplished her educational and career goals, but she has no children, or perhaps no husband.
  • The Depressed Teenaged Girl who can’t figure out why she is depressed over her hookups. The adults in her life taught her that she has a right to as much sex as she wants.
  • The Single Mother whose contraception failed her. She would have preferred not to be a single mother. But the child’s father wouldn’t marry her, or wasn’t really a suitable marriage partner.
  • The Post-Abortive Woman: her contraception failed her and she had an abortion.  All the reasons she gave herself for exercising her “right to choose,” have come to sound hollow to her. She suffers in silence, with night terrors, depression and suicidal thoughts.

Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute says the sexual revolution is directly responsible for the loneliness that many women suffer from.

“We’re replacing truly intimate relationships with sex as a recreational activity. Instead of sex building up marriage and the family, sex is something about “me” and “how I feel.” So it’s all led to the idea that you can discard people, which breeds loneliness.”
