After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

Climate alarm 'blaring from every direction'
Climate-driven disasters are reaching "nightmare proportions" due to humanity's "addiction" to fossil fuels, a top UN official warned on Tuesday.

Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion. The active agents in mifepristone - the first of the two "abortion pills" - remain active post-excretion, i.e., they enter public water systems. The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

Colorado Teen Dies From Planned Parenthood Abortion. Media Is Mum

IVF Kills More Unborn Babies Than Planned Parenthood
If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood?

Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital
A baby born weighing barely a pound at just 22 weeks gestation has finally been sent home after months in hospital, making him the most premature baby to survive at the hospital where he was born.

Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested.

Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life.

IVF: Are We Playing God with Human Embryos

Imagine a young married couple. They have dreamed of having children since the day they were married. Month after month they hope, pray, and wait?but nothing happens. Eventually, their doctor suggests in vitro fertilization (IVF). Friends encourage them to try it. Social media is full of happy stories about babies born through IVF. It seems like the obvious answer.

In recent decades, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become one of the most widely accepted ways for couples struggling with infertility to have children. Millions celebrate IVF as a scientific miracle that fulfills the dream of parenthood. The pain of infertility is real, and every couple who longs for a child deserves compassion, understanding, and support. However, compassion should never prevent us from asking an important moral question: Does every technological possibility respect the dignity of human life?

From a Catholic perspective, the answer is not simply whether IVF works, but whether it respects God's plan for human life and the dignity of every child. Two serious concerns arise. First, IVF attempts to replace God's design for the beginning of human life. Second, it risks treating unborn babies as products that can be created, selected, bought, sold, or discarded according to human preferences. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty.

New! Abortion Drug Crisis: Four Years After Overturning of Roe v Wade, Abortions Have Nearly Doubled

Dan Hart
Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws.

New! Roi Yozevitch Is AI Taking Over the "Religion of the Book"?

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

New! God Is Not a Socialist: Biblical and Moral Reasons for Rejecting Socialism

Kris Dhillon
Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise "equity," "inclusion," and "social justice" but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority.

The secret to never-ending life still not found

Shannon Roberts
The demographic story we usually hear is one of people living longer and longer and more people than ever blowing out 100 birthday candles. However, a new study in the United Kingdom has found that this may not actually be forever the case.

Christianity and Science Not in Conflict? We'll Believe It When We See It!

Ann Farmer
The tired claim that science and faith are at odds ignores a rich history of Christian scientists - and a rather unscientific leap of its own.

Hiding Behind the Legislators' Skirts?

Ron Panzer
Will they hide behind the skirts of the Legislators? Or will they prove themselves to be honorable, in this case at least? I pray that they act honorably, now. I also recognize that each family is responsible for making choices about how they will or will not care for each other. We cannot just blame others. We must choose whether to honor every life before us, or not.

Cambodia bans commercial surrogacy

Cambodia has become the latest South East Asian nation to ban commercial surrogacy, with the country's government issuing a proclamation late last month outlawing the practice.

Genuinely Pro-Life

Judie Brown
Webster defines pro-life as "opposed to abortion," but even among pro-life folks there is a vast array of opinions on what that means. So for the purposes of this article, let's begin by saying that pro-life means we are opposed to abortion because it is a sin.

Sex-Selective Abortion Comes to America

Steven Mosher
By now, nearly everyone knows that tens of millions of unborn baby girls around the world have been aborted solely because of their sex. Ultrasound technology makes it possible to separate the boys from the girls at 18 weeks or so, and widespread abortion makes it possible to eliminate the less desirable sex, which in most cultures means girls. Up to 200 million girls may have been killed in this way, mostly in Asian and Muslim countries.

The Late, Great Stem Cell Debate

John Stonestreet
The biggest ethical and scientific debate of the early 2000s has all but disappeared. And we need to tell people why.

Indonesia: Victims and Justice Seekers must be included in the Sustainable Development Goals

Asia Human Rights
In Indonesian history, Suharto was President of the Republic of Indonesia for 32 years. He left many legacies. A few of them are gross violations of human rights, a weak Judiciary System and regulations. The regulations were not in favor of poor people, and vulnerable minority groups.

The way of the cross: remember

Tom Bartolomeo
God doesn't have a memory but we do. God doesn't need a memory but we do. God doesn't forget but we do. God knows everything all at once and doesn't need to recall anything. When Jesus took on, however, the nature of a human being living in time he separated himself from the eternal bliss and glory of heaven. That for Christ was the worst of punishments much worse than being "driven into the desert . . . to be tempted by the devil for forty days and forty nights". We should remember, too, that God is not the ruler of this world. Satan is. And some would unwittingly befriend Satan is this world.

Shannon Roberts
When China relaxed its one child policy late last year onlookers around the world expected a cultural shift. The Chinese government and investors predicted a baby boom, with government officials making the application process cumbersome lest too many people apply at once.
