What Rights Do Human Embryos Have?
President Trump's administration seeks to "make it easier for loving and longing mothers and fathers to have children." But this statement begs a lot of questions, particularly those related to the rights of the child. Should anyone who wants one be able to buy and make a baby with IVF? To answer this question, I will rely on the instruction from the CDF. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) cites Donum vitae on the familiar passage about the gift of a child.

Media Blackout On Abortion Pill Study Proves They Never Cared About Amber Thurman's Death
If the press truly cared about women like Thurman suffering and potentially dying, they would amplify news that tens of thousands of women who took the abortion pill over a seven-year period ended up with emergency room visits, sepsis, infections, follow-up surgeries, hemorrhage, or other complications. Instead, the little media attention the wide-ranging analysis of mifepristone-related insurance claims has received was written off as "junk science," using quotes from abortion activists. Feminism Against Fertility
Women's "no" to lifelong socially binding care relationships is self-reinforcing. It exacerbates the gender funk, which in turn further lessens the appeal of the old patterns of intimate life. Children are not only the fruit of male-female bonds but their glue. Children are a couple's common project, one that connects them to their wider family and their community. They are a call for self-sacrifice that a culture of autonomy cannot comprehend. Transhumanism and AI: An Ideology of Death
Transhumanism and AI promise a tech utopia but risk a dystopian nightmare, warns Aaron Kheriaty. From surveillance to control, explore the ethical dangers shaping our future. Sepsis, Hemorrhaging, Infection. These are Major Problems Women Experience After the Abortion Pill
One in ten patients experience a "serious adverse event" after taking the abortion pill, according to a study released Monday by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), a conservative think tank and advocacy group. The Abortion Pill is Injuring Tens of Thousands of Women. Where are the Feminists?
The study of nearly 866,000 abortions procured by use of the prescription drug mifepristone is the largest of its kind to date and full of findings that, its authors say, should prompt action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review and address the high rate of serious complications the drug inflicts on women. HHS Releases New Report Revealing the Dangers of 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Minors
"Despite growing pressure to promote harmful medical interventions for minors, this review makes one thing clear: There is extremely weak evidence that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgeries have any benefits in children and adolescents with gender dysphoria," Feliciano added (emphasis original). "At the same time, the risks--particularly permanent harm like infertility--are becoming increasingly undeniable." Pope Francis Called Abortion the "Slaughter" of Innocent Babies
He likened the act to murder, emphasizing the innocence of the unborn and described the killing of babies in abortions as a "slaughter." Pope Francis: "Defend the Unborn Against Abortion"
I learned that, as a Cardinal in Argentina, he was quoted as saying, "Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you." Strong words from a man who valued the sacredness of life from the moment of conception to the instant of natural death. The late Holy Father was a champion of the marginalized - and no one is more marginalized in our society than the unborn child. More Headlines…

Poet Warsan Shire hit a nerve with she composed this stanza in her poem "Home"...
No one leaves home unless / home is the mouth of a shark.
You only run for the border / when you see the whole city / running as well, and
no one puts their children in a boat / unless the water is safer than the land.
Today, we are facing a global refugee crisis. In mid-2024, the refugee population reached 43.7 million. In addition to this number, there were 72.1 million internally displaced people and 8 million asylum seekers, leaving a total estimate of 122.6 million people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes.

Pope Francis devoted much of his pontificate to the challenge of implementing a culture of love in support of the truth in contemporary culture - a culture that does not grasp what authentic love is, because we treat love as a commodity. Many people - young people especially - are eager for caritas in veritate, and the pope sought to teach it to them through many of the themes of the pontificate: accompanying others, recognizing the concrete circumstances that we fallen human beings can find ourselves in, and always being witnesses to God's infinite mercy.

New research shows an alarming trend: as people become more progressive, they're more likely to abandon Christianity. Here's what that means for churches today. A belief held by many Christians today is that Jesus was neither "right" nor "left", and that politics is best kept out of the church. Judie Brown
Planned Parenthood tells website visitors that "the decision to have an abortion is personal, and you're the only one who can make it." For over half a century, forsaking science on the altar of choice has been a vocation for far too many Americans. And today we see the wretched results. There can be no genuine relief in our midst when babies die, when women suffer, and when all of us experience the sorrow of failing to insist that abortion is not a right, it is a death sentence.

"I looked at my little boy when he was born and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew, and I watched him stagger about, squeak his first words, and turn into a beautiful little boy, that feeling did not change." I could have written these words about any one of my five children, but these are the touching words of author Tony Parsons.

The Church must have a theology of the body, or "disturbing" science will fill in the blanks.

Touted as a dream and as a breakthrough in science, and funded in part by the federal government, human embryonic stem cell research is a topic many people do not understand. While finding cures for diseases and ailments is a laudable aspiration, this cannot be done at the expense of a human life. And that is what we are, indeed, talking about when we discuss the use of human embryonic stem cells.

"Daily abuse of civilians by police and military personnel is now routine - and goes unpunished. Sexual torture through sticks and hot pepper powder is widely practised. Families who complain about such torture are themselves subject to interrogation. Old mothers who speak out are pushed in the mud," laments Dr. Katsiaficas.

The impositions that some immigrant women suffer from their communities are often shocking to their Western sisters. These practices range from burquas through female genital mutilation to forced marriages and honour killings. It is obvious that the women concerned are not happy with some of these practices either, and appreciate laws in their adopted country that ban the most harmful, as well as campaigns of women's rights groups to roll back the others. Proclaim Sermons
The disgrace of Egypt lasted for decades among the people of Israel. After they crossed the Jordan, God directed Joshua to roll away the disgrace. God heals us of such things as addiction, unhealthy religion and damage from racism, even though the effects can be long-term. Ann Farmer

The divine justice has been revealed as divine mercy. We see that mercy in the image of the cross, but the work we have yet to do is to allow that image of his incomprehensible mercy to move from the outside to the inside, from an object that we contemplate on the outside, to a light and love that we know from within ourselves. To achieve that completely takes a lifetime, but the day we begin to make our way down that road is the day we begin to live.

Here is a brief video with excellent graphics from The Economist about the arrival of the world's 7 billionth person. I don't share its rather woolly optimism about the future, but in 2 minutes and 21 seconds you can't communicate everything. Steven Mosher
All this is to say that the population controllers hold natural methods of family planning in such disdain that they wrongly view the 25% of women who use NFP as deluded. As for the other 40%, it is by no means certain that they are eagerly lining up to be contracepted or sterilized either. USAID's "experts" also cite Burkina Faso's high birth rate as evidence that - regardless of what the women themselves say - they obviously have an enormous "unmet need" to be contracepted and sterilized.
