Massachusetts Allows Boys to Compete in Girls' Sports, and Here's the Damage That's Done
Last month, Townhall reported how Massachusetts 'grossly misinterpreting' Title IX led to boys -- not 'trans identifying boys' but boys -- to participate in girls' sports. That meant boys were helping teams cheat their way to state championships. It also means many girls have been denied the ability to succeed in athletics. And if you thought this was a recent phenomenon, it's not.

Over 40 percent of Netflix's children's shows contain LGBTQ content: report

Artificial Womb Technology: Daedalus Revisited
The EMMA system from Singapore-based EctoLife Sciences, even if just conceptual, alerts us that a post-womb world is no longer hypothetical. It has begun.

Robotic IVF: Technologically Impressive or Morally Problematic?
Obviously there are many religious concerns with the process of IVF, which separates the unitive and procreative aspects of sex, thereby reducing the formation of new human life to a mere commodity. There are also the pro-life concerns about the discarding of embryos that are deemed faulty or the freezing of them indefinitely. Even putting these objections aside, most people should be squeamish about soulless, automated robots becoming involved in the creation and formation of sacred human life.

Kirralie Smith Fined $95,000, Forced to Apologise for Calling a Man a Man

Canada Has Euthanized Over 92,000 People
When Canada first instituted MAiD, the practice was supposed to be "a freedom for terminally ill competent adults who are suffering," said Schadenberg. "It is now being sold to people who are not dying, who have questionable competence, and whose suffering is related to disability and the lack of supports they receive."

The Choice Was "Comfort Care" or a Trial of Life
Annie Babock was in trouble. The baby she was carrying had been diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction and Annie, her pregnancy at just 24 weeks gestation, was diagnosed with preeclampsia and placental abruption. Her doctors in Bedford delivered a sentence she will never forget.

Activists Are Redefining 'Gender' to Save a Collapsing Narrative
Over the last decade, academic biology has been under full-scale ideological assault by activists pursuing the narrow political goal of convincing the public that the biology of sex has undergone a revolution. Whereas biologists traditionally viewed the reproductive categories of male and female as a strict binary, these activists and ideologically captured scientists now claim that modern biology has abandoned this overly 'simplistic' view in favor of a more complex model involving myriad traits that fall on a continuum.

Sexuality and the Human Person are Being Dismantled

Today we are observing a world that is descending into moral darkness. We avoid looking at the 9.5 million refugees living in camps; poverty resulting from the combined wealth of the richest 1% will soon overtake that of the other 99%; sex-education based on unresearched conclusions; traditional marriage being swept under the carpet; hard-earned taxes supporting the abortion industry; and the slippery slope continues. Laws are increasingly forcing the general public to believe false and abnormal information. Let us analyze one example: the utterly absurd "bathroom wars" that are continually infiltrating different segments of society. The crisis: Men walking into girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, or showers, stripping and exposing their naked male bodies to young girls. This behavior is unacceptable to the majority of decent people and by any moral standards. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Reenacting Trauma

Theresa Burke
Not once in all the years of psychotherapy, psychodrama, group and individual treatment did a single therapist pay any attention to Brianna's abortion or recognize it as a trauma worthy of discussion. Her story makes me wonder: Who is more disoriented? Brianna, with all of her personalities, or a medical community that refuses to acknowledge the trauma inflicted on this young girl in the name of "choice?"

The Trouble with Truth

Judie Brown
To know how to defend truth, we must know how to define it. According to Webster, truth means "agreement with fact or reality." Yet in today's moral free-fall, a statement of fact can be dismissed quite easily if one is hell-bent on supporting a particular opinion, even if the words themselves are based on fiction.

Proclaiming the Death of the Living One. (Holy Thursday)

Proclaim Sermons
The startling message that Jesus died and yet lives is proclaimed every time the Lord's Supper is celebrated. That's true even though it may be hard for people to see how that reality saves us, changing condemnation to salvation. Preaching must use the resources of scripture to expound the "how." And the fact that we share together in the Lord's Supper is a sign that we are not saved simply as individuals but as a community.
