Plan A, B or C or is it Plan S?

November 21, 2005

I wrote on my other blog: iWestminster: There is no Plan B. I got me to thinking about the controversial drug Plan B. I thought it was a good question - is the drug appropriately named Plan B? Or should it have another name?

Here's how Ellen Goodman from the Boston Globe talks about Plan B.

Saving Plan B from the zealots
"If teenagers also need Plan B it's because Plan A -- abstinence -- fails more often than condoms. Too many teenagers end up pregnant, facing Plan C: abortion or motherhood. In the name of protection, we are leaving teenagers far too vulnerable."

As God is the Order and Controller of all things - but not the author of sin, we know that only by God's decretive permission did Plan A -- abstinence fail. But this does not mean we should go to Plan B or Plan C. We are to called to faithfully obey God's will, even after sin and failure - God will provide as we pursue His Plan A. This will not leave us vulnerable - but victorious with God's divine providence.

BTW: My new name for Plan B is Plan S (short for sinning - by disobeying and not trusting God's Plan A).
