In my opinion, the Republican Party Platform has taken a giant step in the wrong direction. As American citizens, we must fully embrace the Constitution and what it stands for. The 14th Amendment of the Constitution is clear. In America, every human being is endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and at every stage of our humanity - in the womb or out of the womb - every human being has an unalienable right to life and liberty.

The government should not hinder women from choosing abortion pill reversal
For years, abortion advocates have claimed they are trying to protect 'a woman's right to choose.' But in practice, many of these abortion advocates have shown that they only support a woman's right to make some medical decisions. When it comes to abortion pill reversal, they suddenly stop being so 'pro-choice.' ... Unfortunately, some abortion advocates have spread falsehoods about abortion pill reversal. For example, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) incorrectly states on its website that APR is 'unproven and unethical.'

Transgender Ideology Is Superstition, Not Science
"In a recent piece for The New York Times, Jack Turban -- a California psychiatrist who has made his career by promoting and practicing the medical 'transition' of children -- wrote, 'The most basic part of gender identity is what I call our transcendent sense of gender. ...As is the case with many emotions, it's hard to describe this transcendent feeling in words. But it is the foundation of our gender identity, the scaffolding we're born with.' ...This belief in an insubstantial gender identity is mystical, not medical, which is emphasized by Turban's efforts to argue that research 'suggests these transcendent gender feelings have a strong innate biological basis.

Time to End the Unjust Institution of Abortion
Patriotism is a form of gratitude to God for the blessing of living in the land of our birth, or in the land that is our adopted home. We recognize that God has placed us in a particular place and calls us to contribute to the well-being of our society. This necessarily involves our personal efforts to foster justice and social harmony, working with our neighbors for the common good. Life is not lived in isolation, either geographically or historically.

Is the fear of having children bringing the West to the brink of extinction?
We are living at a time when a large segment of the world -- particularly societies in Europe, North America and Asia -- no longer views having children as something desirable or worthwhile. Whereas before, remaining childless was something people often felt shame over, even if it was through no choice of their own, we are now living at a unique historic moment in which many people proudly broadcast the fact that they have no children as something to celebrate or be proud of.

Transgender Ideology Is Superstition, Not Science
Belief in an insubstantial gender identity is mystical, not medical. The facade is falling apart.

"Busyness" Finances "Time Poverty"

"How are you?" Are you one of those who reply, "I'm busy." If so, you are not alone. In a recent survey taken, 70% of people who were asked this question replied, "I'm busy." Ask yourself, do I suffer from "Time Poverty"? Do I really need to be as busy as I am? Is it possible that being busy-busy-busy is my way of avoiding the more important issues in my life? Another question, do I set aside time for God? In the Bible, Jesus tells Martha that what Mary is doing, is very important for life. In fact, Jesus states, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by (so) many things; there is need of only one thing..." The message is loud and obvious. Jesus is asking Martha, "How much do you really love me? Can you find room for me in your busy schedule? Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Boys to Men

Nathan Schlueter
These are formidable challenges. But to fully meet them we first need to know what a man is, not just an "adult male of the human species," but a real man, a "man in full," a gentleman. It turns out this is a most interesting question to exploreand not an easy one to answer.

New! When Does a Fetus Feel Pain?

Shenan J. Boquet
Medical experts agree that fetal pain begins at 12 weeks gestation and may even be felt as early as eight weeks. But perhaps the best source for firsthand experience with fetal pain is an abortionist. As early as 1976, those performing abortions realized that the procedure is painful for the dying fetus. These inhumane death procedures would not be acceptable for any animal, yet they are used regularly to kill the most innocent and fragile human beings.

New! Anti-Semitic Students and Jewish Isolationism

Daniel Sonnenfeld
From the river to the sea, human flourishing will only be advanced through a nuanced and empathetic attitude to both sides.

Giving until It Hurts: Helping Mothers Love

Mary Tillotson
The way to foster a loving bond between mother and child is to nurture a wider culture of support and love. It is not fair to children to deprive them of their mother's womb for their life before birth. But it is also not fair to mothers to deprive them of the support they need to make pregnancy and motherhood bearable.

Dobbs, Medicine, and Threats to Maternal Life

Christopher O. Tollefsen
Genuine cases of conflict between maternal and fetal health raise difficult moral questions, but a necessary starting point is to affirm both that physicians must honor their commitment to the mother's health and that the law's just protection of unborn human life should not interfere with that responsibility.
