For decades, the most potent image deployed in favor of legalized abortion has been the coat hanger. The message has always been blunt: If abortion is not provided by licensed physicians using sanitized instruments, women will resort to desperate and dangerous methods on their own. Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children. Will the younger sibling follow?...Not every younger sibling is equally vulnerable. Understanding the risk and protective factors helps you calibrate your response."

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Philip Irvin
What if we replace traditional pronouns with biological chromosome labels XY and XX? A strategy to push back against transgender ideology and reclaim gender as biologically determined.

Marriage and family are among the basic goods of the good life, of flourishing, of delights. Shakespeare is cheering us on. May we take heart and enter the dance. Susan Ciancio
Awkward. Embarrassing. Uncomfortable. Any or all of these words are likely to describe the way that parents feel when they think about teaching kids about sex. But acknowledging and overcoming these feelings - one of the more difficult parts of Catholic parenthood - is incredibly necessary if we are to raise children who see themselves as gifts to others and who then go out into the world to live as gifts. Michael D. Pfeifer
The Bible clearly teaches that human life is sacred and precious from conception, and that murder is wrong (Genesis 9:6). This sacredness flows from the sacrament of marriage in which a married couple cooperates with God in bringing new human life into our world.

As they struggle to contain spiralling health-care costs, both government officials and medical experts are finding new reasons to encourage Americans to practice healthy personal habits. But in two new studies, researchers adduce evidence that - official preachments notwithstanding - only the country's married couples are likely to adopt such habits. A.I.R.V.S.C.
Part two of a two part series on Women's health and Abortion. This issues focues on the link between induced abortions and various deleterious health effects including breast, ovarian and colo-rectal cancers. Judie Brown
Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote that Americans "realize [that] their apathy allowed the country to descend into something the nation's founders never imagined." He suggested that this is why the "conservative dragon" is awakening. But as we know, the word conservative does not necessarily mean pro-life.

Mechanism? Specific follow-up? Youth agenda? This literature makes it obvious that the United Nations has no intention of allowing youth a place to live freely and flourish. Rather, it has specific talking points, and it won't leave until those points are sufficiently lodged in the brains of impressionable youth. And, once again, those talking points represent an unending message of sexual promiscuity, abortion, population control and contraception: to an audience of even younger listeners. Asia Human Rights
The rule of law paramount and the real focus should be on improving investigative powers of the police and not reduce people to pawns of the system, by forcing them to jump through hoops to prove their bona fides and then subjecting them to a languorous criminal justice system anyway. Shenan J. Boquet
Day after day we hear the phrase "population control." We hear laments that the planet is overcrowded and running out of resources. It seems that many people care more about the planet than the human beings who inhabit it. Judie Brown
What do assisted suicide and an advertisement about drowning have in common? Both are indicative of the decline of morals that our society faces today. Both should make our hearts sink and our blood boil. And both are reasons for people to stand up and proclaim that they've had enough - that all human beings deserve life and that no one, no matter how small or how sick, is exempt. Steven Mosher
As the municipality of Huizhou, China, redoubles its efforts at population control, little girls, both born and unborn, are sure to die in large numbers. Frank J. Moncher
Reflecting on the Supreme Court's striking down of key portions of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and the subsequent exuberant response of gay activists, the author of a recent article on a Catholic website rightly concludes that many families whose members have struggled privately with same sex attraction may find themselves with loved ones who are now emboldened to act on those attractions. Helen Alvaré
We pose the following twelve questions for your consideration. Not all are of equal moral 'weight'. Those questions pertaining to whether the plan deliberately mandates coverage for intrinsically evil acts (e.g., abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and contraceptive acts) or encourages the commission of such acts (e.g., requires end of life counseling encouraging the removal of food and water for patients for whom such care is necessary and effective for sustaining life) have the highest priority.
