Women Should Not Tolerate Porn
Young women today have unrealistically high standards. When I speak to conservative young men about dating, this is something I often hear. ...What that doesn't mean, though, is that young women shouldn't have any standards. Some are very important, particularly when it comes to a man's character. One standard that is valid is not wanting your partner to watch pornography.

Planned Parenthood's Legacy of Eugenics: From Racial Cleansing to Modern-Day Abortion Mills
This weekend marks 110 years since Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control facility in Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. That facility marked the beginning of her movement, but beneath the glossy facade lies a century-long history of eugenics, racism, and systemic killing. Planned Parenthood's modern image coexists with a documented history involving eugenics and well-established efforts to drive genocidal levels of abortion among vulnerable, low-income populations.

Yes, LGBT identity really is in free fall among American teens
What goes up so quickly will eventually come down just as fast. This is precisely what has happened with gay and trans identity among American teens after our national LGBT social acid trip. Gallup has carefully tracked how dramatically LGBT identity shot up for all ages in the U.S. over the last decade or more. It really rocketed in 2020. In 2012, only 3.5% of Americans identified with any of the experimental sex and gender alphabet soup letters. By 2020, 5.6% did. By 2024, it reached an eye-popping 9.3% of Americans."

No, Two Men Failing To Make A Baby Together Is Not 'Infertility'
Sodomy is not infertility. But money and ideology encourage pretending otherwise. For example, a recent piece in the New England Journal of Medicine complained that the World Health Organization's guidelines on infertility aren't inclusive enough because they 'pertain only to heterosexual couples' rather than also encompassing 'LGBTQ+ people, as well as single people.'

How schools are indoctrinating your kids
Parents are growing suspicious. In WhatsApp groups and at school gates, mums and dads worry aloud that teachers are not simply educating pupils but also filling their heads with views they do not share. Some fret about daughters now convinced they are actually boys, or young children taught about sex and relationships before they are ready.

Why Has America's Fertility Rate Dropped to Historic Lows?
With America's and the globe's fertility rate currently sagging to a historic low, a new survey data analysis has found that supportive friends and family, the influence of pro-natal celebrities, and an active religious life are all major contributors to boosting birth rates and helping couples achieve their desired family size."

The UN & Abortion for Kids
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has once more pressured governments to promote abortion and gender ideology. The committee of experts also adopted a new general comment on access to justice following intense debate over controversial abortion language and threats to parental rights. The General Comment was circulated in draft form last year and immediately faced pushback from the government of Argentina and the Holy See for including a right to 'effective access to safe abortion services for adolescent girls.

Kennedy's HHS Puts Gender Medicine's Biggest Medical Groups On The Clock
For years, America's leading medical and psychological organizations have insisted that so-called 'gender-affirming care' for minors is medically necessary, evidence-based, and even lifesaving. Questioning these claims could get you labeled a bigot, accused of harming children, or professionally ostracized. Now, they are being pressed to put their money where their mouth is.

Palliative medicine and its ethical commitment to care for people
Palliative Care is the ethical commitment of a society that is sensitive to the suffering of its citizens. When medicine has failed to prevent or cure a disease, the physician must commit to caring for and supporting the person suffering from the disease in order to alleviate their suffering. It is then that we must adopt an ethical perspective on ?

Mifepristone in emergency contraception: a new threat to the embryo
A recent meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of low-dose mifepristone as an emergency contraceptive compared to other interventions. Beyond its effectiveness in reducing pregnancy rates, its mechanism of action and ability to interfere with endometrial receptivity has reignited the debate surrounding its bioethical implications and the information women receive about its possible effects.

AI, Faith, and the Future: Becoming the Person God Created You to Be in a Digital World

If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?

As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.

The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Should We Be Worried About Advanced Agentic AI?

Thomas D. Howes
The effort by all the major AI frontier companies to get government assistance in regulating the technology strikes a familiar note. There have always been incentives for top companies in an industry to call for regulations that give them a competitive advantage over upstart companies. Regulatory capture, as it is called, is a real concern. But is that what is going on here?

New! Clear and Present Dangers of AI

Charles T. Rubin
It is genuinely difficult to know how to begin to navigate all of this chatter and adopt a more thoughtful stance on the issues facing us. But Sherry Turkle's latest book is a good place to begin.

The Demand-to-die is already here

Ron Panzer
The tortuous lengths so-called "ethicists" go to in order to justify their nefarious agenda is never-ending. Though they are true believers in their work (and tell us how "altruistic" their motives are) they sometimes inadvertently admit that they have lied in the past, will lie in the present and future, if it means advancing their cause, and consider mere "people" beneath them, the "givers and takers" of life. These are the judge-jury-executioner types who truly do hold the keys to your life or death, and the life or death of your children or parents and friends.

Kansas City Chiefs' kicker Harrison Butker takes on the warriors of woke

Kurt Mahlburg
There is nothing about being an NFL player, however, that prevents players from having other passions in life. And Butker has made it quite clear over the years that his faith and his family rank as higher priorities for him than football. It was the themes of faith and family that landed Butker in hot water for the commencement address he gave at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts college an hour out of Kansas City.

Human Dignity in Christ's Nativity

Shenan J. Boquet
Christmas is about celebrating the most precious gift of Life - the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus' birth is a pressing call to respond to God's great love for us. "If it is true that God has created us, that He has redeemed us, that He loves us so much that He has given up His only begotten Son for us," says St. Josemaria Escriva, then "how can we doubt that He wants us to respond to Him with all our love?" The story of Jesus must be seen in this light. This is the heart of God, who longs for our friendship.

Planned Parenthood: A Century of Lying to Women

Judie Brown
Even the US Congress is celebrating the fact that Planned Parenthood will soon celebrate the 100th anniversary of its war on women, expectant mothers, and preborn babies. Of course the friends of Planned Parenthood do not refer to this ominous anniversary in those terms.

Should Sedation Be Terminal?

Nancy Valko
The allure of preempting any suffering by dying unconscious may well appeal to a great number of terminally-ill patients as well as the frail elderly, the disabled, the chronically ill, and others. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, some patients, families, and even medical professionals may still demand the right to choose a hastened death. In those circumstances, as with assisted suicide and euthanasia, the best and only answer should still be "No."
