A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations. The study tracked 2,083 people who had sought medical services for gender confusion between 1996-2019." Despite the glaring evidence of harm, many American "medical" institutions continue to provide harmful interventions to vulnerable persons. Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"

What of the servicemen who have to fight in the wars their governments decide to wage? Do they have an obligation to make a moral judgment about these wars in light of just war criteria? The Parental Rights Paradox
"Teachers, counselors, doctors, and social workers all play valuable roles in children's lives. But they are not parents. They lack the lifelong attachment and responsibility that anchor parental authority. For that reason, American law traditionally resisted allowing outsiders to direct a child's upbringing. The presumption has long been that parents, not institutions, should guide a child's development." How Trans Ideology Demolishes Itself
Insights from the Paradox Institute's Cynthia Breheny: "Proponents of trans ideology will go so far as to claim that acknowledging sex is an erasure of someone's trans identity -- even saying something along the lines of acknowledging sex erases their very personhood. And that's where the primary contradiction of trans ideology lies: in order for it to be a groundbreaking revelation about humanity, it has to have ground to stand on - it has to rely on sex."

Imagine not being able to go to church without fear. Imagine having to hide your faith from your friends, your neighbors, or even your government. For millions of Catholics around the world, this is not just a possibility - it is their everyday life.

That is why, for decades, we have been bombarded with messages seeking to downplay the fact that abortion kills a human being. Mark Powell
Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, this article explores a biblical framework for immigration - balancing compassion for foreigners with the responsibility of nations to protect unity and the common good. Ann Farmer
A critique of UK political commentator Matthew Parris challenges his reading of Christ and assisted-dying advocacy, defending Jesus' teaching on the poor, and warns that secular "solipsism" undermines compassion, dignity, and the sanctity of life. Susan Ciancio
Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, we have seen anger. We have seen violence. And we have seen the dispersal of all kinds of misinformation - most of it aimed at increasing rage, stirring up indignation, and causing confusion. One of the pieces of misinformation that continues to spread pertains to ectopic pregnancies. Judie Brown
Everyone deserves to know the truth about what it means to die. But more importantly, each of us should be aware of what others might do to rob us or our loved ones of each moment that God has planned for us during this life.

Linking the "right to die" with organ donation has opened a terrible Pandora's Box. Christopher Kaczor
In November 2007, the Committee on Ethics of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published Committee Opinion #385 entitled, "The Limits of Conscientious Refusal in Reproductive Medicine." The committee opinion sought to "maximize accommodation of an individual's religious or moral beliefs while avoiding imposition of these beliefs on others or interfering with the safe, timely, and financially feasible access to reproductive health care that all women deserve."

A magisterial / judicial order directing the police to register a first information report and investigate a family that lost its provider in a mob lynching would seem impossible for anyone living in a rule of law system. But in the self-designated largest democracy of the world, this is what happened on 14 July 2016 Asia Human Rights

For over two weeks the financial capital of China, Shanghai, has been locked down tight. Some 26 million people languish in their apartments, staring at their now-empty refrigerators, unable to set foot outside to forage for food for fear of arrest and incarceration. Christopher O. Tollefsen
Genuine cases of conflict between maternal and fetal health raise difficult moral questions, but a necessary starting point is to affirm both that physicians must honor their commitment to the mother's health and that the law's just protection of unborn human life should not interfere with that responsibility. Michael Cook
Dr Fonck, a renal physician who was a minister in the government of Elio di Rupo, queried Health Minister Maggie De Block about why the full text of the country's euthanasia law has never been published. Nancy Valko
At that time, Marie was wrestling with the choice between keeping her baby and adoption. Abortion was never an option because, as Marie said at the time, "I could never kill my baby. I know too much." I told Marie that the most important question was what would be best for the baby and I assured her that I would totally support her decision to either keep the baby or release him or her for adoption. But the decision had to be hers since she was an adult and she would be the one to live with her decision.
