Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever
A growing body of research suggests that living near grandparents can have lasting benefits for parents, children, and family life as a whole. Mailed Abortion Pills, Part 2: Physical Perils and Mental Traumas
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against buying abortion pills through mail. On its website, it headlines a section, "FDA Does Not Recommend Buying Mifepristone Online." It elaborates "buying it online" means "bypassing important safeguards specifically designed to protect health." It comments there is no way to be certain any medication received through mail is safe. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
On June 5, 2026, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of herself and 13 other state attorneys general questioning whether "the abortion pill[1]" was contaminating American water. What does this mean? It means that, if ambient concentrations of mifepristone reach "sufficient concentration," it could affect pregnant women who unintentionally are exposed to it. Nor is there clear research about how it could affect "reproductive organ development and fertility," i.e., the next generation of young people entering puberty. British Medical Association Requires Doctors to Starve Patients to Death
The subtitle of the revised and updated version of my book criticizing utilitarian bioethics, Culture of Death, is, "The Age of 'Do Harm' Medicine." Helping patients kill themselves by self-starvation and dehydration -- known in euthanasia parlance as VSED (for voluntary stopping eating and drinking) -- certainly fits that designation. Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons
The question Congress will have to answer is, "Who gets to deprive a preborn baby of his or her 5th Amendment right to life without due process?" The telemedicine company illegally shipping the drugs across state lines? The doctor? The abusive boyfriend or husband? The politician? The womb renters? The mother? National Day of Remembrance Will Mourn 66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions
"Mourn for these children because they are members of the human family," Jansen said. "They were created in God's image like we were. They deserve to be mourned for." The joy of killing babies
There are scenes that sum up the sickness of an era, and we saw one of them unfold in the office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Monday. She was at her desk, surrounded by beaming women. There was flashing and the sound of camera shutters; the governor bent over and signed a document. She nodded as the women broke out into laughter and applause. 'Thank you,' she said. ...The momentous event was Governor Healy's signing of the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which eliminated one of the state's last remaining abortion laws. If You Want To Be A Grandparent One Day, Raise Your Kids To Get Married And Want Babies ASAP
If you'd rather spend your 60s holding grand-babies instead of watching your 30-something daughter livestream hormone injections, start laying the foundation for marriage and parenthood now. They Cheered Abortions Up to Birth, And They Want More
I watched a clip of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the bill legalizing abortion up to the moment of birth. It felt completely surreal. A group of women stood around her, applauding. The thought that came to mind was "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Caitlyn Jenner Has a Simple Answer to the WNBA's Transgender Player Problem
Where sex is concerned, human reproductive biology is pretty standard: Humans are sexually bipolar, with two sexes, male and female. This is determined genetically at conception; barring a few rare and usually debilitating genetic disorders, an XX chromosome pair results in a female, and an XY pair, a male. That's just how it is. These are facts. And another fact is that the XY pairing gives the resulting child and, in time, adult, a significant advantage in sports. More Headlines…

Editorial
Wombs for sale? Unborn baby pricing? Selling motherhood? I want to be honest with you: surrogacy, human trafficking, and Catholic teaching are challenging issues. They touch on deep longings (to be loved, to be a parent), real human suffering (poverty, coercion, abuse), and big questions about what it means to treat people with dignity. My aim here is not to lecture but to help you think through the moral issues associated with "MODERN-DAY SLAVERY".
Advances in reproductive technology have changed what families look like today. For some, surrogacy brings real hope. But when surrogacy becomes a commercial transaction - when reproductive labor is bought and sold - it raises serious ethical and social questions. Many Catholics compare COMMERCIAL SURROGACY to forms of modern corruption and TRAFFICKING.

Genuine humility is the road to wisdom. And growth in wisdom leads to even more humility. It's a virtuous cycle. Tony Perkins
Pride Month 2026 began with some bracing news for the LGBTQIA+ movement. According to Gallup's latest annual survey, public support for same-sex marriage, the morality of homosexual conduct, and transgenderism has declined significantly. James Macpherson
Politicians abandoned common sense for fear of offending. David Upham
Indeed, because our Constitution recognizes the right of both mother and father to the custody of their joint offspring, that Constitution surely permits - if not requires - all the states of our Union to publicly favor, once again, the lifelong "union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Shenan J. Boquet
Genetic manipulation becomes arbitrary and unjust when it reduces life to an object, when it forgets that it is dealing with a human subject, capable of intelligence and freedom, worthy of respect whatever may be their limitations; or when it treats this person in terms of criteria not founded on the integral reality of the human person, at the risk of infringing upon his dignity.

I believe that it would be better for Japan if a majority of the Bishops would be foreigners during this present time, when Catholics constitute only 0.3% of the large population. And this should remain the policy in force until 10-15% of Japan is Catholic. Douglas McManaman
What is an epistemic condition? Prior knowledge in all its diversity acquired through experience, which makes possible a specific intellectual posture, along with specific interests, questions, and problems to solve. Some of that knowledge will be certain, some will be a knowledge of uncertainties, a knowledge of probabilities that we once thought were certainties, a knowledge of limits, errors, failures, etc. I cannot make sense out of specific ideas or insights unless I come into the knowledge of other things first and am disposed in a particular way. There are experiences we will never have, and thus there are epistemic conditions that will never be, and that means there will be so much that will always be outside the purview of our understanding. Douglas McManaman
The world prefers cheap grace; in fact, it prefers everything cheap, at the lowest cost possible. For some things, such as food, clothing, and housing, this is reasonable; resources are scarce. For other things, however, we best keep in mind that "you get what you pay for", as the saying goes.

Younger women are hearing about it all the time, but they are not hearing much sense. Shannon Roberts
Japan's Deputy Prime Minister is under fire this week after saying that the country's diminishing population is due to women not having babies. Douglas McManaman
The mission of the father in the family is to be a channel of the love of God the Father, to dispose our children to receive that love of the Father. And the task of the children of those earthly fathers is to forgive the sins of their fathers and to honor them, even while acknowledging their flaws and imperfections. Sheila Liaugmina

Motherhood: thoughts from young mums. Anthony Zimmerman
I have offered for your consideration the suggestion that religion teachers, school teachers, and parents might be able to recapture the initiative in providing education in matters related to sex for the new generation, if Bible readings are made the basis for many and widely used courses of religious instructions. Michael D. Pfeifer
The fastest growing common death chamber in our country for murdering the precious unborn is not a clinic or a hospital but the family home. Our home, which should be the sanctuary for the caring and protection of children, is now with the easy availability of abortion pills, has become a major center for abortion.
