Premature Twins Born at 27 Weeks During a Medical Emergency are Doing Great Now
Twins who were born very prematurely after their mother's water broke at just 20 weeks gestation are now thriving one year later. Birth Rate Drops as Number of Babies Killed in Abortions Hit Record Highs
The number of babies born in the United States declined in 2025 while the number of babies killed in abortions has hit record highs. Study: Adolescents Who Received Gender Reassignment Have Worse Mental Health
A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations. The study tracked 2,083 people who had sought medical services for gender confusion between 1996-2019." Despite the glaring evidence of harm, many American "medical" institutions continue to provide harmful interventions to vulnerable persons. Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church's teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings
If the pre-born are not human, pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf is fond of saying, then no defense of abortion is necessary. But if they are human, no defense of abortion is adequate. Just One Study Found Abortion Pills Injured Over 95,000 Women
EPPC looked at more than 865,000 insurance claims of actual mifepristone patients and determined that the serious adverse events rate was closer to 11%! Just war doctrine and the duties of soldiers
What of the servicemen who have to fight in the wars their governments decide to wage? Do they have an obligation to make a moral judgment about these wars in light of just war criteria? The Parental Rights Paradox
"Teachers, counselors, doctors, and social workers all play valuable roles in children's lives. But they are not parents. They lack the lifelong attachment and responsibility that anchor parental authority. For that reason, American law traditionally resisted allowing outsiders to direct a child's upbringing. The presumption has long been that parents, not institutions, should guide a child's development." How Trans Ideology Demolishes Itself
Insights from the Paradox Institute's Cynthia Breheny: "Proponents of trans ideology will go so far as to claim that acknowledging sex is an erasure of someone's trans identity -- even saying something along the lines of acknowledging sex erases their very personhood. And that's where the primary contradiction of trans ideology lies: in order for it to be a groundbreaking revelation about humanity, it has to have ground to stand on - it has to rely on sex." New: IOC Policy Protects Female Sports
On Thursday, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a new policy to protect the female (women's) category in Olympic sports. Eligibility for female sports will now be determined by a genetic test for the presence of the SRY gene, which triggers male sexual development and cannot change. The IOC policy is likely to have downstream positive effects on international federations and sports governing bodies. However, past Olympic medals awarded to males competing in female sports will not be rescinded. More Headlines…

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby's heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies we see around us. That is why, for decades, we have been bombarded with messages seeking to downplay the fact that abortion kills a human being. Mark Powell
Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, this article explores a biblical framework for immigration - balancing compassion for foreigners with the responsibility of nations to protect unity and the common good. Ann Farmer
A critique of UK political commentator Matthew Parris challenges his reading of Christ and assisted-dying advocacy, defending Jesus' teaching on the poor, and warns that secular "solipsism" undermines compassion, dignity, and the sanctity of life. Susan Ciancio
Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, we have seen anger. We have seen violence. And we have seen the dispersal of all kinds of misinformation - most of it aimed at increasing rage, stirring up indignation, and causing confusion. One of the pieces of misinformation that continues to spread pertains to ectopic pregnancies. Judie Brown
Everyone deserves to know the truth about what it means to die. But more importantly, each of us should be aware of what others might do to rob us or our loved ones of each moment that God has planned for us during this life.

It is clear that abortion is well established as a form of either primary or secondary birth control. Contemporary contraceptive methods are frequently erratic or ineffective for many reasons. Repeat abortion as a form of birth control is of particular concern and appears to be related to a variety of psychosocial problems. Whatever the motivation for pregnancy or abortion, or whether the abortion is a first or repeat abortion, the bottom line is that abortion ends up in being the ultimate form of birth control.

Unlike serious safety issues with human genome editing, there are minimal risks involved in polygenic testing and selection of IVF embryos, because there are no permanent man-made genetic modifications that would be passed down to future generations.

How do we go about deciding what is ethical and what is not? Does the context change the ethics? Is what is ethical different for adults and teenagers? What are the ethics of assisting someone to do something? Louis T. March

The greatest enemy of our freedom, which we all must confront, whether we live under a totalitarian regime or in a free society, is our deep-seated tendency to create and cling to a simplistic, false notion of our identity. Judie Brown
Partial-personhood is not what the Catholic Church teaches; the Church clearly defends and has always defended the right to life of every innocent human being prior to birth. The Vaticans verbal manipulators should stop ignoring the truth, cease the cover-up and abandon their politically motivated agendas.

By sharing the stories of real people suffering real pain and struggling with enormous regret, Walt Heyer enables us to gain the first thing a person seeking to be a true trans ally needs: compassion. Two years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Walt Heyer at a conference. After reading his essays for years, I was excited to hear him in person. I found him to be a gentle and caring soul who speaks powerfully and with razor-sharp clarity. Steven Mosher
Mechanism? Specific follow-up? Youth agenda? This literature makes it obvious that the United Nations has no intention of allowing youth a place to live freely and flourish. Rather, it has specific talking points, and it won't leave until those points are sufficiently lodged in the brains of impressionable youth. And, once again, those talking points represent an unending message of sexual promiscuity, abortion, population control and contraception: to an audience of even younger listeners. Judie Brown
We know that the antidote to abortion is to be truth-tellers with love in our hearts and education on our minds. We have the tools to teach truth. All we have to do is use them in a way that assures that aborting children is no longer America's great sin. Ron Panzer
In the late 1800s, leprosy patients were quarantined on the island of Molokai and left to suffer in disgraceful neglect till they died. In 1873, Father Damien arrived at the island of Molokai to tend to the lepers on the island. He dressed their wounds, provided medicines, worked to create a piped in supply of fresh water, build beds, schools, residences, churches and clinics. He looked at each "leper" and saw a "person." In 1882, he contracted the disease and lived with leprosy till he died in 1889. In every way, we can call the work of Father Damien "palliative care" and the place it was provided, "hospice."
