France's euthanasia law is disturbing.
We are horrified by the implementation of this law in France and are gravely concerned with the countless French citizens who are now at risk of deadly harm, particularly people with disabilities. Mail Order Abortions Kill Babies, Hurt Women and Break the Law
Last week, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a new report: "Mifepristone Without Guardrails: An Investigation Into How Chemical Abortion Drug Makers Are Putting Mothers and Babies At Risk." The report confirms what many in the pro-life movement had already suspected -- mifepristone manufacturers are contributing to the current abortion drug crisis. Doctors are Pushing Patients to Starve Themselves to Death
Many Western countries and jurisdictions are legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. That opens up a problem for the death pushers. Since states aren't going to get into the wet work of the actual killing, medical professionals and caregivers are going to be conscripted to do the deadly deeds -- even if that means violating their religious beliefs and moral consciences. Catholic teaching on IVF leads physician to a new path in fertility care
In light of the recent attention drawn to increasing IVF and fertility insurance coverage around the nation, the Florida Catholic explores the decisions of doctors to change course, Church teaching on the matter, and moral issues at stake in a series of articles. This is the first. Hong Kong judges uphold Cardinal Zen's conviction over fund to help protesters
A panel of three appellate judges in Hong Kong this week upheld convictions for retired Cardinal Joseph Zen and four other pro-democracy advocates who operated a legal defense and medical fund that supported people engaged in widespread protests in 2019 and 2020. Girls Just Want a Locker Room
I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. A crowd showed up to support Sophie Cunningham and a pretty uncomplicated proposition: girls deserve locker rooms and sports of their own. Another crowd showed up to oppose them. And based on what I watched, some of the descriptions of the demonstration don't look much like the video. What a Male Breastfeeding Image Reveals About the Transgender Movement
Conservatives may be tempted to laugh at the absurdity of a breastfeeding organization featuring a man attached to breast pumps, but we shouldn't simply move on--it reveals something important about the effect of transgenderism on America's institutions. First, what happened? Confusing the innocent
Australia now has a confused generation of teenagers raised in the shadow of gender identity divorced from biological reality, according to Professor Emerita of Psychology Dianna Kenny. ...The definitions of 'man' and 'woman' were removed from the law. As a new protected attribute, the concept of gender identity uncoupled from biological sex was introduced. Abortion now leading cause of death in Scotland, a new analysis of data has revealed
According to the most recent data published by Public Health Scotland, there were 18,783 terminations of pregnancy recorded in a single year. ...When these figures are integrated into wider human mortality data from the National Records of Scotland--where all cancers combined accounted for 16,486 deaths recorded in Scotland in 2025, ischaemic heart disease for 7,000 deaths and dementia accounting for 6,612 deaths--the loss of unborn life stands as the highest single source of mortality in the nation. This Isn't Healthcare: How the abortion pill kills and injures
Heavily marketed as 'safe and effective,' the abortion pill has rapidly grown in popularity among women seeking abortions. It now accounts for about 65% of all abortions. Pro-abortion groups portray the abortion pill as just another 'treatment,' even using the moniker 'medication abortion.' But medication is meant to heal, not intentionally harm. The abortion pill is not healthcare. More Headlines…

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

It is in the martyrs, both those who have shed their blood for God but also those martyrs of "everyday life," the martyrs of charity, that we most clearly behold the splendor and magnificence of humanity. Dan Hart
New data shows that more Americans now use marijuana daily than smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, as experts debate whether the trend will last. Douglas McManaman
A non-repressed and openly gay Catholic is one who can live that faith without looking at women as inferiors, but as equals, who is free from the need to create and control an environment that fuels an unhealthy narcissism that exploits others, and who lives in hope and with a healthy self-esteem, and yes, a certain degree of pride. Marianna Orlandi
Technology is not our problem. Our problem is an obsessive concern for our own good, our distrust of others, and the terror of losing ourselves. No algorithm will solve this. Steven Mosher
Monty Patterson loved being a dad with his whole heart. So when a nurse called to tell him that his 18-year-old daughter, Holly, was in the ICU, he dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. That day quickly became the worst of his life.

Rapid repeat pregnancy is defined as a subsequent pregnancy within 12 to 24 months of an earlier pregnancy. This article discusses rapid repeat pregnancy following legally induced abortion particularly with respect to adolescent and low income women in the United States. Judie Brown
Boxer Hector Camacho died on [November 24, 2012], his doctor said. "His death was reported by Dr. Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Medico trauma center in Puerto Rico, who said Camacho had a heart attack and died a short time later after being taken off life support." This is confusing, because the same doctor had announced on Thursday that Camacho was "brain dead." If "brain death" really is death, then the doctor appears to be saying that Camacho died twice, which is absurd. Can a dead man have a heart attack? Would it be medically significant? R. J. Snell
If questions of ultimate meaning and purpose are shuttled to the side, as they are in so many of our schools and colleges, the various disciplines and domains of knowledge can never attain a unifying vision. Michael Cook
Research shows that the experience of losing a parent through suicide is a risk factor for children. How about VAD? Steven Mosher
As every leftist ideologue knows, "framing the issue" is everything. The Washington Post, no friend of the unborn, is attempting to portray the handful of "pro-lifers" who supported Obama as somehow representing the mainstream of the movement, while relegating the rest of us to the outer darkness. Memo to the media: It's our movement, not yours. And Doug Kmiec, sadly, is no longer a part of it. E. Christian Brugger
Advances in science, medicine and information technology (as well as hacking and piracy) have complicated the maintaining of rightful patient privacy. Sophisticated methods for securing and storing personal information, even down to an individual's complete genetic blueprint, are fast becoming commonplace. And keeping cultural time is our oral fixation on the concept of "confidentiality." Ryan T. Anderson
Religious liberty is not an embrace of relativism. As we disagree about religious truth, we need to agree to leave legal room for that disagreement to play out in worthy and healthy ways - among people who are free to persuade and convert. People are free to try to convince Jack that he should bake the cake, but the government shouldn't be allowed to force him to do so. Proclaim Sermons
The disgrace of Egypt lasted for decades among the people of Israel. After they crossed the Jordan, God directed Joshua to roll away the disgrace. God heals us of such things as addiction, unhealthy religion and damage from racism, even though the effects can be long-term. Irving News Comments
Academics "stay in their lanes" when commenting on the pandemic. Whether for narcissistic, or self-delusional, or devious reasons, major crises such as the one we are currently in re the Coronavirus pandemic always "justify" such non-experts to come out of the woodwork and "instruct" the rest of us as to what to think and what should be done about it. Academics should face more scrutiny and accountability by officials, the public and the media as well, and be legally required to "stay in their lanes" -- or face fines and jail time as their duly deserved consequences. Nicole M. King
News sources this week highlighted a new study demonstrating that were women to make healthier lifestyle choices and even take preventive drugs, "fully half of breast cancers in the U.S. might be avoided."
