"In this book, The Contraception of Grief, the authors take the reader through the various steps necessary for healing. They give the facts, tell of the effects, share the stories and provide the comfort and courage needed to find a way out of the darkness of loss and despair. This is not simply an anti-abortion or anti-contraception book. This is a book that tells the truth about the real pain suffered by real people as they struggle toward healing amidst a society and culture that has gone awry. It is a book about hope, forgiveness and selfless love."

"I certainly see this book as another great contribution to the entire pro-life movement, agreeing most heartily with Cardinal Martino on the value of such a book being on all college campuses and Newman Centers. May the distribution of this book be wide-spread and helpful in understanding gratefully the gift of life and openness to this gift in marriage."

“I am very pleased to have received a copy of The Contraception of Grief, a booklet which will educate and counsel many about the hidden effects of abortifacient contraceptives. All of us in the Church are in need of such an education. Many are becoming enlightened about the logical connection between the advent of widespread acceptance of contraception and legalized abortion; yet, many are unaware of the direct attack on life made daily in the silence of the womb by contraceptives such as the Pill.
It is my hope that this worthy effort by Janet Morana and Dr. Theresa and Kevin Burke will be part of the great conversion of heart and mind so needed on this topic. As shepherd of the flock of the Diocese of Phoenix, I fully endorse this work.”

“The present work, The Contraception of Grief, is a fascinating analysis of the bitterness caused by that other vehicle of the culture of death, namely, contraception. While the grief it engenders is in a certain sense of another order than the post-abortion grief, the booklet highlights one of the most fundamental evils of chemical contraception: its abortifacient nature. The “contraceptive evangelists” as it calls them know full well that every society which caves into birth control eventually succumbs to abortion and so, I believe that the present authors have given us a new and truly helpful instrument with which to continue our fight.”

“The Contraception of Grief is excellent and needs to be spread far and wide. The item is most timely and hopefully very many will read it and spread it across the land. Much too little has been said and written about abortifacients, but now we have your document, The Contraception of Grief (The Genesis of Anguish Conceived by Abortifacients and Sterilization). Again, hopefully you will spread this far and wide.
