'LGBTQ is shoved down our throat': 16-year-old athlete says girls are silenced about not wanting boys in their locker room
The young girl said she and her friends have been subjected to males 'in booty shorts' and do not feel safe in their own bathrooms.

Abortion Pill Reversal has now saved more than 6,000 lives despite pro-abortion pushback
Abortion Pill Reversal, the protocol that gives women a second chance at choice, has achieved a remarkable new landmark for saving lives in spite of opposition from abortion proponents.

Can going gay really help solve climate change?
The last time homosexuality was directly related to acts of mass meteorological destruction was at Sodom and Gomorrah. Today, it's quite the reverse. In Anno Domini 2024, far from queers causing natural disasters, they have now somehow become the only viable means of preventing them ... or at least so certain of their more extreme and deluded number have recently started to say.

In England, one politically incorrect tweet can have the police knocking on your door
Allison Pearson, a journalist at The Telegraph, recently found herself at the centre of a police investigation based on an allegation that one of her social media posts was "likely or intended to cause racial hatred". Three separate police forces and one "gold group" crime unit had been mobilised to investigate a hate speech complaint against the journalist.

Western complicity in global terrorism
In February 2000, Russia's President Vladimir Putin was asked by a British journalist, David Frost, how he envisaged future relations with NATO and even the possibility that Russia could join the military alliance if Russia was treated as an equal partner.

Climate bait and switch: why fossil fuels are 'not essential'
Writing in December's Scientific American, Harvard historian Naomi Oreskes has penned an essay with the title "Fossil Fuels Are Not Essential: The industry argues that we can't live without its deadly products. It is wrong." How so?

Reality Wins: Transwomen Are Men
We have reached the tipping point on the gender issue. If I had known that electing a trans-identifying man to Congress would so definitively advance the discussion of safety and privacy in women-only spaces, I might have donated to the campaign myself. For over a decade now, women have been speaking out about the problem of men who believe they are women seeking 'refuge' in our bathrooms, locker rooms, college dorms, prison cells, and even sometimes our beds. The pressure has grown as more and more Americans were confronted by the very real demands required by the 'inclusion' of 'gender diverse' people on their terms.

Yes, keep men out of women's spaces - in Congress and everywhere else
Rep. Nancy Mace's (R-SC) resolution requiring members of Congress to use the bathrooms and other single-sex facilities that correspond with their biology caused quite a stir. Less than two days after it was introduced, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced a change to the facility rules, saying: 'All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings -- such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms -- are reserved for individuals of that biological sex. Women deserve women's only spaces.' On Jan. 3, Sarah McBride, a biological male, will be sworn into the 119th Congress.

The Escalation of the Ukraine War: A Dangerous Tipping Point
The Ukraine War is escalating dramatically, and there are no immediate prospects for peace. This war may pit nuclear powers, i.e., the United States, Russia, and possibly other countries, against each other if we keep on the current track. How did we get here, and how can we avoid a disastrous outcome? Let's take a look.

Speaker Johnson is Right: 'A Man Cannot Become a Woman'
"Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman."

Society Dehumanizing Unborn Babies

Why this evil-disposed attack on procreation today? Procreation, the sexual activity of conceiving and bearing a biological offspring, is gradually being equalized with the phrase "profit and power at any cost". Just look around. Big industry extending its strong influence over procreation and changing the meaning through manufacturing, engineering and controlling. For example, babies are made by IVF. What is IVF? In Vitro Fertilization: An egg is fertilized by injecting a single sperm into the egg or mixing the egg with sperm in a petri dish. In the process, on the average of 24 tiny lives die in order for one life to survive. Another example: Desired embryos are implanted in a uterus. The big question is: Whose uterus? The mother's? A rented one (surrogacy)? An artificial womb? Yes, we are approaching a biotechnological breakthrough. Ectogenesis, the invention of a complete external womb, could completely change the nature of human reproduction. Several years ago, researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced their development of an artificial womb. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! Demographic Winter Follows the Decline of the Family

Shenan J. Boquet
There is a close link between the hope of a people and the harmony among generations. The joy of children causes the parents' hearts to beat and reopens the future. Children are the joy of the family and of society. They are not a question of reproductive biology, nor one of the many ways to fulfil oneself, much less a possession of their parents.... No. Children are a gift.

New! Conversion Therapy: Controversy and Reality

William Lawyer
Conversion therapy has long been a controversial subject, often regarded as being wholly unethical by critics. Over the last several decades there has been a powerful push to ban it, with publicity painting it as being abusive and harmful. But though like any practice there can be unethical conversion therapy, the facts of it are often misunderstood. This often leads to people being misled about the nature of conversion therapy and can undermine patient rights.

New! Building a Culture of Pro-Life Nonviolence

Judie Brown
Peace for all preborn babies must begin with peace outside the womb.

New! Reclaiming Personhood in the Public Debate over IVF

Alexandra DeSanctis
As we consider the future of our debate over IVF, we must go deeper than the political questions facing us and ask ourselves fundamental questions about how we view one another.

New! Polygenic Embryo Screening: Following the Logic of IVF

Christopher O. Tollefsen
Even the most extensive attempt to shape "what we will get" will always fail to eliminate the contingency, particularity, and irreducibility of the person, whose concrete individuality will likewise always transcend whatever power we attempt to exercise over it.

India: Cycles of violence and revenge must end

Asia Human Rights
The case has brought attention to 'fake encounters' or extrajudicial killings by members of the armed forces of the Union (including the Army) and by members of the police in Manipur.

Canada's politicians go MIA in debate over conscientious objection for doctors

Conscientious objection to abortion and euthanasia has emerged as an election issue in Canada's 2021 federal election - and politicians are refusing to defend it.

A Man for This Season, and All Seasons

There is only one Thomas More: A man of tender nobility, subtle intellect, and forceful conviction, all rooted in profound fidelity to the larger commonwealth of Christendom outside and above Tudor England.

Extremes to be Avoided in End-of-Life Care

E. Christian Brugger
Although fear at the thought of our dying may feel unavoidable, it's a bad basis from which to make end-of-life decisions. It tends towards two extreme mindsets, either "treat-me-at-all-costs" or "give-me-a-hasty-exit". These mindsets correspond to the two paradigmatic problems in end-of-life care: overtreatment and premature refusal.

New! Faithful to God's Purpose (Presentation of the Lord)

Irving: Open Communication To Participants of the CBHD/NCCB Bioethics Stem Cell Coalition:
Setting the Record Straight Re Drs. Furton/Matthews-Roth's NCBC Website "Response" To Their Stem Cell Research Article

Dianne N. Irving
In sum, I find the manner in which Furton and Matthews-Roth have operated in this situation with regards to their posting my private e-mail -- with deletions, additions, and changes in format -- on their web site, without my permission, as well as in the oblique manner in which they have responded to my scientific comments, to be rather disingenuous. Furthermore, much of the human embryology they used in their original article as well as in their "Response" is still inaccurate and ill-founded, and could definitely be used by others to construct a "pre-embryo"-type argument which would justify the use of early human embryos in destructive experimental research -- including human embryonic stem cell research. It is unfortunate that this situation has arisen, but I have found it necessary to respond and set the record straight in order to at least try to diminish the damage to which Furton and Matthews-Roth are apparently oblivious.

Decorated Mom Gives Life to Olympic Athletes

John Stonestreet
There is one protest, a quiet one, that demands our respect from the 2021 Olympics. Female athletes who are mothers earned well-deserved attention. Not merely with social media statements or corporate endorsements, but for winning medals and advocating for life. This Olympic narrative is not only heroic but counter-cultural in women's sports.

Vocation to the Single or Celibate Life in the World or Merely "Waiting for a Vocation"?

William E. May
Some people believe that only men called to the priesthood and men and women called to be consecrated virgins have a vocation to the single or celibate life and that neither a man nor a woman can have a vocation to the single or celibate life in the world.
