The Surprisingly Controversial IVF Alternative Dividing Washington
Even as support for IVF has grown in the GOP, there are still concerns, particularly among pro-lifers, about its cavalier treatment of human embryos, up to a million of which are on ice at this very moment. Infertility affects more than 1 in 10 couples who want to conceive. There must be another approach, one without IVF's baggage. So what is it? And is anybody talking about it? In vitro gametogenesis - The manufacture of human eggs & embryos: The Dystopian Future of IVF (Part 2)
At the heart of this debate lies a difficult question: Are we entitled to a biological child by any means science can offer? And at what cost to the dignity of human life? It Happened Again: Man Used Gym's Trans-Friendly Locker Room Policies to Secretly Film Women
The Left has spent years telling women two contradictory things: 1) all men are rapists, so trust your gut instincts and avoid them at all costs, and 2) you must let men who say they're women into your locker rooms, lest we label you a bigot. Those same Leftists insist that men would never abuse their laissez-faire locker room policies, and that only 'trans women' would access private spaces, because they're really women. Now we have a case file of men cosplaying as women who have used these lax policies to abuse women. 'Dear Hockey: Goodbye' - Another Female Athlete Stands Up against Transgenderism
After 20 years of professional hockey, Rachel Stoneberg is quitting -- not because she wanted to retire, but because she refuses to compete against a biological man. Stoneberg has been skating since the 7th grade. In addition to her 20 years with the Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota (WHAM), Stoneberg also skated for the University of St. Thomas. Her departure from the ice came with a public announcement -- a written letter, directed at WHAM, and recently shared on social media. Stoneberg titled it, 'Dear Hockey: Goodbye.' How Respecting Women's Biology Fosters A Culture of Life
"According to demographer Nicholas Eberstadt, for the first time in human history since the bubonic plague in the medieval 1300s, global population is declining. The world's fertility rate just hit a 60-year low, and it's set to keep decreasing. The nations with replacement-rate fertility are largely terrible places where people die young, such as Somalia, the Congo, and Afghanistan. The United States faces a population bomb of not too many people, but too few. America Without the Church: How a Nation Loses Its Soul
The relationship between America and the Church has always been one of shared dependence but unequal necessity. America, for all its achievements, cannot long endure without the moral and spiritual framework that Christianity provides. JD Vance compares abortion to child sacrifice: 'We should be trying to protect every unborn life'
For an hour on Wednesday, Vice President J.D. Vance took questions from students at the University of Mississippi at a Turning Point USA event, taking the place of his murdered friend Charlie Kirk. He answered questions about Christianity, his personal faith, and abortion--and referred to abortion as 'child sacrifice' that leads to the mistreatment of women. Report: Hospitals Use Electronic Medical Records To Coax Children Into Gender 'Transition'
Electronic medical records ask the same questions used by predatory activist doctors to point children toward irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers, hormone replacement, chemical castration, and genital mutilation surgeries. The AI Revolution is Coming for our Kids
In case you haven't been following as closely all the news stories about the harms to children from AI chatbots over the last few months, let me give you a brief lay of the land of what parents must understand about the threats of AI to our children that are already here. India Has Killed so Many Girls in Sex-Selection Abortions, It Only Has 920 Girls for Every 1,000 Boys

Editorial
Over the past several years, newspapers, magazines, and news reports have shown worsening trends regarding current life issues. The slippery slope is widening, and people's lives are hurting. God is gradually being eliminated from society, leaving a road of mass confusion, suffering, and hidden guilt in its wake. During annual retreat earlier this year, Psalm 139 caught my attention with its powerful message on the meaning of Life alongside God's personal relationship to us as individuals. The inspired writer teaches us God's direction to Life, Happiness and Truth. Containing insights that are very relevant for the modern world, the Psalm can be broken up into four categories: (1) God knows me, (2) God is with me, (3) God created me, and (4) God's cause is mine. While reflecting on the greatness of God's character in relation to the reality of troublesome times in society and the world, a thought struck me: "What would the world be like without the living presence of God in my life and in the lives of those around me?" What kind of choices would we make? "What would the end results of these decisions be?"

The physician-assisted suicide debate is not a discussion about legalizing suicide or even about granting people the legal ability to assist in another's suicide. Rather, the physician-assisted suicide movement is about an alleged "right" to end one's life with the help of licensed medical practitioners, whose field is predicated on preserving life. Karl Johnson
The real work of healing consists not in closing off the body as a personal project but in opening our body to healthy relationships we can have with each other, our environment, and ultimately the highest vocations of love and worship. Shenan J. Boquet
Those who produce and share AI-generated content should always exercise diligence in verifying the truth of what they disseminate and, in all cases, should 'avoid the sharing of words and images that are degrading of human beings, that promote hatred and intolerance, that debase the goodness and intimacy of human sexuality or that exploit the weak and vulnerable. Joseph M. Vukov
Death Revisionism - including the kind Drs. Jauhar, Patel, and Smith propose - is not an ethically viable option. Of that, I think, we can be relatively confident. Of the options that remain, however, there is not one that asserts itself as the obvious alternative. Mark Regnerus
What might have seemed like the next progressive triumph-in-waiting is instead running off the rails. How? Why?

For the couple who desperately wants a child, in vitro fertilization often seems like a good option. Many couples go into the procedure with limited knowledge and a tremendous amount of hope. But they do not realize the sad reality that, while the procedure may result in the birth of a child, it will result in the death of children as well. Today's guest commentary examines why the Catholic Church is opposed to this procedure and why one doctor chose to leave his practice because of this. Daniel Kuebler
Advances in prenatal testing and in vitro fertilization are making it easier and easier for Americans to act on their preference for male children when birth rates are low. If the US is to avoid a destabilizing gender imbalance, we must ban sex-selective abortions. Judie Brown
Spilled coffee, ice having to be scraped off of a windshield, and a fender bender on the way to work - all are scenarios that cause inconvenience or that we wish hadn't happened. But, just because we didn't intend for them to happen, does that mean they don't exist? Of course not. So why, when a baby is created - intentionally or unintentionally - do people think of him as nothing more than an inconvenience? How can a baby's life be likened to something like one of the scenarios above? And how can people have the audacity to think that no life exists when one clearly does? Denyse O’Leary
The momentum of the campaign will be hard to stop. Michael Cook
March 29 marked the first anniversary of the legal same-sex marriage in England and Wales. Look around, say the twitterati - no plagues of locusts and frogs have blighted the land; no fire and brimstone have rained down upon Westminster; no earthquake has swallowed up Sir Elton. All is well. R. J. Snell
A crisis like a pandemic forces citizens to confront what they hold in common. But the coronavirus has revealed that many, whether boomer or millennial, do not even see themselves as citizens - as participating in and being partially responsible for the common good. Andrew E. Harrod
The persistence, inventiveness and grit of their foes is beginning to dishearten pro-abortion activists in America. Brian Clowes
There is some confusion today among prolife people (especially parents) regarding the morality of using vaccines that may have been produced using the tissue of aborted preborn babies. Of particular concern are vaccines that were developed in part using fetal tissue derived from aborted babies who died decades ago, and whose tissue is regenerated in laboratories under the names MRC-5 and WI-38.

Even in the Netherlands, people are wary of making painless methods of suicide freely available. They understand that vulnerable people could die - or even be targeted. Even in the home of legal euthanasia some actions are beyond the pale. Ron Panzer
