The FDA and the Dangers of Chemical Abortion Audio recording of Dr. Ryan Anderson, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center on the topic of dangers of chemical abortions. Debunking the Myth of the Transgender Child Mia Hughes: "This devastating convergence of medical, political, and cultural forces ensured that countless innocent children--rather than being given the freedom to grow, mature, and explore different identities--were locked into a lifetime of medicalization, embodying an identity imposed on them before they were old enough to understand what was at stake."

Counterfeit Connections: The Rise of AI Romantic Companions The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surged in recent years, with users of AI platforms now numbering in the billions around the globe. Despite this growth, little attention has been paid to how AI technologies may impact real human relationships. In particular, very little is known about how the emergence of AI relationship platforms that replicate romantic and sexual interactions may impact dating and marriage relationships, as well as the personal well-being of the users of these technologies. A deeper understanding of these trends is needed, as a recent IFS study recently found that 1 in 4 young adults think AI boyfriends and girlfriends could replace real-life romance.

Recent estimates suggest that anywhere from 50 to 70% of adult men and women view pornography on a regular basis. This has made pornography use an increasingly "normal" behavior and led many men and women and even some experts to question whether pornography use is really that big of a deal.

As I approach my eighty-sixth year, the twilight of life is bringing new challenges. Beyond the increasing aches and pains, psychological sufferings have come to the fore and demand greater attention than before, with loneliness the most prominent. In some societies this trend is starkly visible: for example, in Japan in 2025, people aged 65 and older make up nearly 30% of the population, and an estimated 70% of them report feelings of loneliness. What is loneliness? Even though it walks beside us, does it define who we are?

Douglas McManaman Holiness, unfortunately, is often confused with sanctimony, and sanctimony tends to get mixed in with perfectionism, which in turn is usually a means of shaming others - children in particular. But holiness is not perfectionism. Holiness is love; holiness is charity. Ann Farmer In a post-Christian society, the revolution's message is pleasure without limits, but unlimited debauchery has led to diminishing returns, a reminder that the hungry man appreciates food more than the glutton; that the Victorian factory worker appreciated his annual day out at Blackpool more than modern man and woman enjoy their endless foreign vacations. However, according to sexual revolutionaries, the fall of man began with Christianity; consequently, humanity must return to a more civilized paganism. But although pre-Christian societies were highly sophisticated, so were their methods of torture and killing; their attitude to weakness was to trample on it. Angel Alvarado The story of Maduro's extraction is not a tale of foreign intervention. It is a story of internal collapse, human suffering, and the eventual recognition - by Venezuelans and by the world - that a government cannot indefinitely destroy the lives of its citizens without facing consequences. William H. Pryor, Jr. My oath, with God as witness, to uphold the rule of law must matter more than the judgment of any peer or historian
Antonio Graceffo The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) harbours a fear of China's smallest religious community, the Kaifeng Jews. Synagogues have been destroyed, community centres closed, and scriptures removed. Neither the religion nor the ethnicity is officially recognized. The CCP appears determined to erase the Jewish identity, including their thousand year history in China. John Stonestreet Well, according to the French President, it's no use pouring money into Africa because Africans have too many babies. Yes, he really said that. Judie Brown Though the Los Angeles Times reported on deceased turkey vultures, it has not reported that abortion facilities in Texas are arguing in court right now that the law should protect their practice of dismembering preborn babies. Asia Human Rights Women in Pakistan continue to be prey to jirgas, a parallel justice system held by the influential and landed aristocracy. To have this abundant life, we must constantly examine our current situation with truth and humility. If there is behavior which is not in conformance with His commandments, we can be sure that such behavior will, to at least some degree, choke out abundant life. Veronika Winkels It is a growing crisis we can't ignore: free speech has been taking a battering in our Western countries recently. Nathanael Blake Without a Christian framework, but with a strong sense of sin, seemingly minor wrongs and slights are seen as representative expressions of the injustices of society as a whole. But there is no one to grant absolution to the repentant, or to redeem the world from its fallen state. Each wrong is indelible, and so there is only sin and punishment. Forgiveness becomes impossible when every discrete wrong is bundled into a secularized version of original sin. Steven Mosher While our nation is distracted by the hue and cry over border security, the newly installed Democrat majority in the House of Representatives has quietly voted to repeal President Trump's "Mexico City Policy."
