Decline in Religion is Hurting Birth Rates, Secular People Don't Value Families
A decline in religion is likely to lead to a decline in fertility, according to a new analysis from statistician Ryan Burge. New use of cluster bombs threatens global ban, report warns Cluster bomblets continue to kill thousands of civilians, mostly children, and the new use of this predominantly outlawed class of weapons is threatening efforts to universally ban them, according to a new report published on Monday. The Bizarre Alliance Between Transgenderism and Abortion At first glance, the issues of abortion and LGBTQ appear unrelated. Same-sex relationships are sterile and can't result in pregnancy. But the homosexual movement has actively inserted itself into the abortion debate because both the trans and pro-abortion movements are built on a shared philosophy: sexual license that accepts no sexual limitations from church, state, or culture. 'Incalculable cost' of conflict on the lives of children The damage that war leaves on young learners' bodies, minds and spirits, "from injuries and loss of life to abduction, forced displacement, sexual violence, recruitment to the fighting, and lost opportunities". 'What Are Children For?' Can't Remain a Question Forever A resurfaced comment made by Sen. J.D. Vance about the "childless cat ladies" who supposedly run the Democratic Party could be understood as just the latest entry in an increasingly tense culture war over parenthood and natalism. But the ensuing furor points to something else, something that's often wished away: People's reproductive decisions are never really fully private. Federal Courts Protect Women's Right To Safely Reverse Chemical Abortions Pro-life pregnancy centers get big win ensuring the protection of their right to free speech against radical leftist attorneys general. The Devil And The Democrats States such as Minnesota, California, Maryland, and others, in all cases with Democrat-controlled legislatures, are on a fast track to not only allow unborn babies to be murdered on demand as a woman's "constitutional right" but also to allow infanticide. Doctors urge U.S. medical groups to 'immediately stop' transgender treatments on children Top medical groups and physicians have signed a "Doctors Protecting Children" declaration that expresses "serious concerns" about the treatment of minors who are uncomfortable with their biological sex, one advocate told EWTN News this week. 'They are sending us missionaries of evil': Clerics lament Western homosexual push in Africa Catholic archbishops are calling attention to the recruitment of young men into homosexual porn for money as NGO-led LGBT indoctrination becomes widespread across Africa. Denmark and Norway relax abortion laws as Europe hurtles toward demographic suicide Despite medical and technological advances that have given us unprecedented insight into human development in the womb, an increasing number of European countries are becoming increasingly extreme on abortion.

Editorial
Why this evil-disposed attack on procreation today? Procreation, the sexual activity of conceiving and bearing a biological offspring, is gradually being equalized with the phrase "profit and power at any cost". Just look around. Big industry extending its strong influence over procreation and changing the meaning through manufacturing, engineering and controlling. For example, babies are made by IVF. What is IVF? In Vitro Fertilization: An egg is fertilized by injecting a single sperm into the egg or mixing the egg with sperm in a petri dish. In the process, on the average of 24 tiny lives die in order for one life to survive. Another example: Desired embryos are implanted in a uterus. The big question is: Whose uterus? The mother's? A rented one (surrogacy)? An artificial womb? Yes, we are approaching a biotechnological breakthrough. Ectogenesis, the invention of a complete external womb, could completely change the nature of human reproduction. Several years ago, researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced their development of an artificial womb.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Michael Cook The Catholic Church has always opposed IVF and has developed a sophisticated critique based on its understanding of human sexuality. Its official Catechism states that IVF is "morally unacceptable" because it separates the marriage act from procreation and establishes "the domination of technology" over human life. It, too, is horrified at the fact that embryos are treated as raw material rather than human beings. Steven Mosher A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable to make abortion - the death of unborn children - the centerpiece of a presidential campaign. But that's exactly what the Harris-Walz campaign is doing. J. Darly Charles It is time - indeed, past time - to act decisively. Ukraine is our neighbor. Will Russia, with her imperial designs and commitment to do the unthinkable, be deterred? Are we in the West willing to confront sociopolitical evil? And do so in the name of justice, charity, and human dignity? Emilie Kao Man-made positive laws should follow the laws of nature. Americans cannot bear the load of the government's latest attempt to defy reality. And the courts should ensure that we won't have to. Shenan J. Boquet Manhood is in crisis in our modern world, which seeks to blur the differences between man and woman. In response to this crisis, we desperately need men to be more responsible and sacrificial towards women, not less. We need men to respect women and honor their dignity. We need men who are disciplined and can control their sexual appetites, acting chastely. We need men who do not ignore the fruit of procreation, but are willing to be responsible, welcoming their children and supporting their mothers.
Asia Human Rights The attitude towards murder is one thing on which hardly any progress can be made in Sri Lanka. Murder is regarded as quite normal and not something to worry too much about. This attitude is also something that should worry everyone.
Judie Brown There is a huge problem with the alliance that has been forged between Komen and Planned Parenthood. It is our recommendation that people steer clear of Komen fundraisers and choose instead to address the facts about the link between abortion and breast cancer. By doing so we would be following Christ who teaches in John 8:32, "The truth will make you free." Anthony Zimmerman Merely designating an injustice as "legal" makes it no more respectable than "legal thievery," or "legal arson," or "legal counterfeiting" would be. Call it what it is - pseudo-legal, counterfeit legal, attempted legal, civilly tolerated, non-penalized - whatever; but don't attempt to name that "legal" what God has from eternity made illegal. We dis-educate and confuse people by using the term "legal abortion." Judie Brown LifeNews featured a disturbing story last week about a woman named Lyz Keating. According to the story, Lyz "admitted she had an abortion for convenience, and said she has no regrets. To her, getting food poisoning was worse than aborting her unborn child." Proclaim Sermons If you were asked to tell the story of Christmas, you'd probably mention a long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, shepherds and sheep, a sky full of singing angels, the wise men from the east, the inn with a "No Vacancy" sign and of course, a very pregnant Mary and a concerned Joseph. But today's gospel reading doesn't mention any of these events. What's going on?
Judie Brown The subject of fetal pain, and the manner in which political operatives within the pro-life movement have handled it, have always been a source of interest and sorrow for me. Now is the perfect time to examine the so-called "fetal pain" proposition from a perspective that is not often discussed - the perspective of the preborn child. Helen Watt How do women see their past abortions? The received wisdom is that abortion equals unwanted pregnancy: most women want their abortion and are satisfied with their decision. But are women really so satisfied with their abortion decision - and are their abortions really wanted? Marcus Roberts Russia's official statistic service, Rosstat, has announced that 186,382 Russians left the country in 2013 and 122,751 left in 2012. This is a substantial increase from 36,774 who left in 2011 and 33,578 Russian who emigrated in 2010. Kurt Mahlburg For over a decade she has been involved in anti-sex trafficking advocacy. But it was the "Traffickinghub" campaign she launched in February 2020 that has really made a mark on the world. Anthony Zimmerman I think that contraceptives, and then surgical sterilization, breaks up marriages as surely as a blinding flash of lightning detonates a house-shivering thunder crash a split second later. Society needs to stop this destructive paroxysm of marriage much as it needs to devise protection against AIDS.
