Naturalistic Pro-Life Activism Masks Duty to Establish Social Kingship of Christ

Catholic News Agency portal reports (November 15, 2025) on Planned Parenthood clinic closures following federal defunding, Southern Baptist ultrasound initiatives, and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s $80 million midterm election spending. The article frames these developments as victories while quoting Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson decrying funding cuts as “cruel” and “dismantling health care.” This report typifies the naturalistic reduction of anti-abortion efforts to political maneuvering divorced from the supernatural mission of Christ’s Church.

Political Calculation Replaces Divine Justice in “Pro-Life” Narrative

The article’s celebration of clinic closures through Medicaid/Title X defunding ignores the moral obligation (ex lege naturae) to eradicate institutionalized child murder rather than merely inconvenience it.

“President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act prevented federal taxpayer dollars from being used to subsidize abortion providers for one year,”

reveals the temporizing nature of legislation treating abortion as a budgetary issue rather than a capital crime against God and humanity demanding permanent suppression.

Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) establishes that civil rulers exercise authority “not so much by their own right as by the command and in the place of the Divine King”, making the failure to prosecute abortionists under penal law a dereliction of sovereign duty. The cited Charlotte Lozier Institute’s comparison of Planned Parenthood to community health centers commits the same naturalistic error, treating abortion as one “service” among others rather than crimen pessimum requiring extirpation.

Ultrasound Machines Cannot Replace the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary

The Southern Baptist Convention’s “Across State Lines” ultrasound project exemplifies the Protestant error of reducing spiritual warfare to technological persuasion:

“Gary Hollingsworth… said Southern Baptists ‘stand firmly on the truth that God has created all people… He said he hopes the ultrasounds will help mothers see this truth.'”

This ignores the Catholic doctrine that gratia non destruit sed perficit naturam (grace does not destroy but perfects nature). Mere visual evidence of fetal development cannot convert hearts hardened by sin without the sanctifying power of the sacraments and proclamation of Christ’s kingship.

The article’s promotion of Rachel Wiles’ “missional mindset” rhetoric further demonstrates the creeping indifferentism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which rejects the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). Authentic Catholic action demands not interstate medical transfers but the public procession of the Blessed Sacrament through city streets as commanded in Quas Primas.

Midterm Election Idolatry Displaces Duty to Crown Christ King

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s $80 million midterm investment embodies the modern error condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Faith, as assent of the mind, is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (Proposition 25). The claim that

“pro-life voters ‘are the heart and soul of the Republican Party'”

via a CNN poll reduces divine law to electoral calculus. Marjorie Dannenfelser’s celebration of Trump’s victory contingent on 1-2% pro-life turnout ignores the non veni pacem mittere sed gladium (I came not to bring peace but a sword) of supernatural faith.

The article’s silence on consecration of states to Christ the King as required by Pius XI demonstrates the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Catholic integralism. While reporting Planned Parenthood closures, it omits the sine qua non of establishing Christ’s social reign through:

  1. Annulment of all abortion “rights” jurisprudence as Satanic deception
  2. Mandatory pro-life education in all schools under Church authority
  3. Excommunication of Catholic politicians tolerating abortion

As the Syllabus condemns those who claim “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Proposition 63), so must we reject this naturalistic “pro-life” industry that reduces the Gospel of Life to political horse-trading.
