"My Voice, My Choice" and the Silence Beneath It
The Church reminds the modern world that voice itself is a gift, received before it is exercised. Perhaps the most urgent question is not whose voice will prevail, but whether we still remember the One who spoke us into being. Pope Leo Blasts Abortion: "Every Human Life Must be Safeguarded From Conception"
The Pope told Spanish lawmakers that ?every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence.? The Porn Industry Doesn't Just Sell Sex, It Sells Violent Abuse of Women
Violence against women is common in mainstream pornography, yet many viewers may not recognize how frequently aggression is portrayed as normal or desirable. This article explores the research on violence in porn and examines how repeated exposure to these messages can influence attitudes toward women, sex, and consent. Aborting Babies Because They Have Down Syndrome is Wrong. Period. End of Story
Targeting unborn children for abortion because they carry an extra chromosome is wrong. Period. End of story. Pope Leo XIV: 'The elderly can be life teachers'
"The elderly, in serene acceptance of the limitations imposed by the passing years--without hiding them or being ashamed of them--can be life teachers, able to show everyone--and especially young people--that the value of a life is not measured by efficiency or self-sufficiency, but by the capacity to love and to be loved, to give and to receive." U.S. bishops consecrate nation to Sacred Heart of Jesus
The U.S. bishops consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, entrusting the United States to Christ's merciful love during a solemn Mass as part of their spring plenary assembly. When it Comes to Abortion, Men Should Have a Voice Too
We've collectively been so inundated with the "fact" that abortion is a "woman's decision" that it's difficult to remember that this is an absurd proposition on a gazillion different levels. Germany's Trans Laws are a Threat to Women, Free Speech, and Common Sense
Germany is becoming a world leader in transgender confusion. Since its implementation in 2024, the country's Self-Determination Act has given rise to an increasing number of surreal court proceedings. One such case--which, fortunately, ended in an acquittal earlier this month--involved the chairperson of a feminist group called 'Frauenheldinnen,' an organisation that has been battling the transgender spell. New Report Shows Abortions Killed 99,470 Babies in January
A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year. UK transgender bathroom ban is the latest setback for the LGBT lobby
Because the landmark 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling stating that 'sex' in the Equality Act refers only to biological sex -- rather than 'gender identity,' as trans activists claimed -- the transgender movement has faced setback after setback. After being almost entirely conquered by the trans movement in less than a decade, the pendulum has been swinging back in the UK. More Headlines…

Editorial
Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age. Gregory E. Ganssle
Both Jesus and Nietzsche announce in the same sort of bold terms their own visions of life and death; prosperity and adversity. They set before us two paths to consider: one leading toward the flourishing life and one leading toward death. One toward liberation and one into oppression. Which path will we choose? Shenan J. Boquet
Euthanasia is a false solution to the drama of suffering, a solution that is not worthy of man. The real answer cannot be, in fact, to give death, as 'gentle' as this may be, but to testify to the love that helps us to face pain and agony in a humane way. Beatrice Scudeler
For a generation marked by a noticeable gender split on political beliefs as well as by ever declining marriage rates, it would seem that young women still retain a desire for a specific vision of manhood. But what exactly is that vision? Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.
Irving News Comments
The medical scientific community has failed to self-regulate. Those who conduct clinical trials have become subservient to the drug companies that pay them. The scientific community and drug manufacturers must be held legally responsible. They must disclose the entire clinical trial data set -- not just selectively report positive findings.

Our pro-life movement has many compelling stories that are based on unvarnished reality and promote a deeper understanding of the issues and the people involved. Some of our stories expose the frightening truth and expanding agenda of the "culture of death." Other stories are inspirational lessons on the value of true justice, compassion, and moral principles. These stories highlight what love, faith, hope, support, selflessness, and respect for life can accomplish. Such stories are all around us if we only look. By telling our stories and those of others, we are helping to push back the culture of death. Anthony Zimmerman
They didn't stand, they didn't bow, they didn't shake hands. They "fell down" and adored the Child whom Mary held in her arms. They fell down before Him because they recognized Him as God, the God who had created them, who had given them their lives, who had made the world in which they live and breathe.

Casualties in the war against the unborn this year will far outnumber those in the Ukraine war, but they will be not be featured at all in the carefully orchestrated daily media coverage. Douglas McManaman
One cannot measure the quality of a mind on the basis of its ability to grasp one aspect of reality (i.e., the focus of a particular science). To do so is to commit the fallacy of reductionism, which involves reducing the real to one aspect - usually the one aspect that the reductionist is interested in (i.e., physics). Steven Mosher
The spectacle of caravans of desperate people trekking across half a continent to get to their Promised Land elicits strong reactions from those who are already here. Some Americans would like to welcome all comers with open arms. Others, like the Canaanites of old, would like to shut down immigration altogether. Judie Brown
We've been fighting legal abortion with little or no success for a very long generation now, and we've rightly regarded it as a horrific scourge, a massive breakdown of the public order. Perhaps this is why we have been slow to recognize and oppose the sea change that is taking place in American politics right now - the enormous, incalculable shift in government from permitting evil to enforcing it.
What is a stem cell? Stem cells are primitive human cells that, when they divide, can form a variety of more specialized cells. For example, just one type of stem cell in our bone marrow works to replace all the different types of blood cells (white, red, etc.) when we need them. Brian Clowes
Research has shown that abortion and crime rate are related. One study claimed that legalizing abortion increased murder rates by up to 7%. This is because legalizing abortion is a contributing factor to the great increase in out-of-wedlock births and single parent families, which in turn contribute to increased crime rates. Helen Watt
One of the moral objections to IVF (in vitro fertilisation) is the way in which embryos are subjected to 'quality control' while they are still outside the mother's body. Even couples who are not infertile but are at risk of having children with genetic disorders may have IVF so that embryos can be screened and discarded if found to be affected.
