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.

Poland Rejects Bill to Legalize Killing Babies in Abortions
In a huge pro-life victory, the Polish parliament has rejected a measure to legalize killing babies in abortions. That keeps Poland as one of the few nations in Europe that protects the lives of unborn children.

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...

Ethical Perspectives

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. Radical stances that dehumanize one side, turning its babies into colonizers and marking them as legitimate targets for attack, do not advance freedom or justice. Quite the opposite.

New! What is the Season of Creation?
Pope Francis calls for a World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation

Michael D. Pfeifer
The Season of Creation is an ecumenical month-long moment of prayerful reflection and celebration which began several years ago and calls us to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. During this Season we join together as sisters and brothers of a universal family in prayer and action to renew our appreciation, our commitment, and our care and activities to protect and bring new life to Mother Earth, our Common Home, as we thank our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation.

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.

Miracles and the Scourge of Rationalism

Douglas McManaman
Synopsis: It is possible for God to bring about an event that is outside the order of the laws of nature if He so chooses. This is especially true if Jesus is the Incarnation of the Son. If all things came to be through the Word, and if Jesus is the Word who came into the world, then the move from faith in the Incarnation to faith in the fact that Jesus spoke and the "wind and the sea obey him" is not a difficult step to take. Miracles are only difficult for the person who has chosen not to believe in them.

A Modern Day Holocaust

Steven Mosher
Since Roe v. Wade abortion has claimed the lives of over 53 million babies in America. More than eight times as many infants have been killed through abortion than Jews murdered in the Nazi concentration camps. Abortion is truly the Holocaust of our time.

UK nursing body bans 'ladies' and other 'offensive words'

Ann Farmer
In Britain, the Royal College of Nursing has issued new guidelines advising nurses not to address women as "ladies" or old people as "pensioners" in order to "avoid causing unwitting offence." Members are also advised to avoid using the term "alcoholic" and instead say "alcohol misusers".

The continuing child problem in China

Marcus Roberts
A couple of weeks ago there was a very interesting long essay in the Guardian about the (now historical) Chinese one-child policy. It was not complimentary.

Malthus and Becker
Who Was Right?

A key assumption of human capital growth models is the neutrality assumption on human capital. That is, the rate of return on investments in human capital rises rather than declines as the stock of human capital increases. Man is creative and therefore the education of children today implies greater production in the future. Consequently, resources are not necessarily fixed, but, rather, they may increase as population increases.

Identifying the Human Being Requires No Debate

Judie Brown
There should be no debate when it comes to a human life. Once a child is created, he is a person from that moment onward -- a person who deserves both respect and protection. Yet in today's world, he has little of either. Abortion takes countless lives day after day and, unless we as a society come to realize the value of a person -- no matter how small, no matter what stage of development -- babies will never be safe.

Understanding Humanae Vitae

John K. Kippley
In summary, the message of this encyclical is that God knew what he was doing when he created man and woman, their marital and sexual relationship, and the delights and the demands of true love. In God's plan, sexual intercourse is exclusively a marriage act, and within marriage it must be a true marriage act, a symbolic renewal of their marriage covenant. Contraceptive behaviors contradict God's plan. When married couples live out the plan of God, they and their families and the entire culture will benefit. This is the divine truth about human love, and the Church must keep on proclaiming it. When they have sufficient need, couples can practice natural family planning. The Church must do what it can to help couples develop the virtues necessary to live the demands of love and to provide whatever practical help it can through its bishops and priests, scientists and doctors, and couples helping other couples.

Beijing + 15: A Planned Parenthood Planet

Steven Mosher
In the upcoming two weeks, government leaders, women's rights activists, and noted population control organizations, such as the UNFPA, UNIFEM, UNICEF, and WHO, will gather in New York City for the 54th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). They have one main objective: to double the current spending "on family planning and maternal health programmes in developing nations." If you have any doubt about their agenda, allow me to explain. At present, the international community spends around 12 billion a year on contraceptives, condoms, sterilizations and abortions that aim to cull the already diminishing populations of developing countries. Now, during a time of widespread economic collapse and grave government deficits, the CSW is asking to double that "current spending to $24.6 billion" so that they can step up the implementation of the Beijing agenda.

Why Fight For Marriage?

Sherif Girgis
We are all called to defend marriage so that the truth can change hearts, minds, and lives. As the early pro-life activists did, we must invest the long-term political, legal, cultural, and spiritual capital to win down the line. The final installment in a three-part series.

Legal Drugs Meant to Be Lethal

Michael D. Pfeifer
Some have heard in the past, and many more need to know today, about the cause of the death of Holly Patterson who sadly died from legal drug use. Holly was pregnant, and shortly after turning eighteen, went to Planned Parenthood (PP) clinic for an abortion. She was given deadly pills that led to her death a few days later.
