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. Men Can't Make a Mother's Milk
As both a mother and a perinatal nurse with extensive training in breast feeding and lactation, I find myself nauseous over the headlines I am reading regarding the assertions from an NHS Trust that milk produced through drug-induced lactation by men is just as advantageous for infants as milk from women or mothers. Men Breastfeeding?
It is well established that breastfeeding is beneficial to both infants and mothers and that breastmilk (from a woman) is the gold standard form of nutrition for babies. Two buses, an apartment block - Ukraine's civilians suffer under Russian assault
As Russia steps up its wave of deadly attacks in Ukraine, civilians are increasingly paying the price. According to the UN, Ukraine saw more civilians killed by August this year than in all of 2025. Thursday saw another such attack: in the eastern front-line city of Kramatorsk, a Russian glide bomb assault on two buses killed at least 30 people. This comes a day after a five-storey block of flats in Pryluky, east of Kyiv, was hit, killing 22 people in the early hours. "Once again, the Russians have struck a location where there are absolutely no military targets," Kramatorsk's city council said. Congressman Slams Abortion: "Babies Deserve Better Than to be Flushed Down the Toilet"
As you know, pregnancy care centers are on the front lines of providing compassionate care to mothers and their precious children--offering free support and resources, which can range from pregnancy tests and ultrasounds to parental education programs and lactation consultations, and much more. Transgender is a Symptom
"Since trans is really a symptom, the goal should never be automatic affirmation, nor should it be to dismiss the person as mentally ill. The goal should be understanding the individual beneath the identity. We should be asking difficult questions about what needs are going unmet and why the transgender identity became so appealing in the first place. "Transgender identification is the visible expression of deeper struggles. If we truly want to help people, we must look beyond the label, beyond the ideology, and beyond the symptom itself. Then, the real sources of distress can be understood, addressed, and resolved." - Pamela Garfield-Jaeger Canada backs off on euthanasia for mental illness, but targets people with dementia.
Some are celebrating Canada's government "indefinitely suspending" legalizing euthanasia for mental illness as a great victory for life. Not me. No, Parents Shouldn't Be Browbeaten into 'Affirming' Their Gender-Dysphoric Children
Rarely does a single journal article capture the full range of intellectual errors committed by pediatric 'gender' activists. A June 2026 'clinical perspective' in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry comes very close. A mere glance at Michal J. McDowell et al.'s 'Using a Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Model to Join Caregivers of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth' is enough to alert the reader that he or she is in strange territory indeed. Children Bring Higher Meaning and Purpose to Life
Conventional wisdom holds that children bring a special kind of existential purpose into the lives of their parents. A Pew survey of 17 countries found that 'family and children' was by far the most commonly selected source of meaning in life, and a survey of Greeks found that 87% of parents marked 'giving meaning to life' as an advantage of having children.

Editorial
Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...

AI will make many cognitive techniques obsolete, and preserving them for their own sake would mistake difficulty for formation. Schools and workplaces should instead preserve or rebuild the learning functions that cultivate judgment, prudence, and human agency. John F. Doherty
If America's unity frays, the problem is probably not its diversity, but that America needs its many cultural groups - and perhaps new ones - to contribute more of their special strengths to public life. Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters. Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance.

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has been informed that the Airport Immigration in Kuala Lumpur Airport has detained human rights defender Mr. Adilur Rahman Khan since 5:00 am today.

Activists are asking the Court to rewrite our nation's civil rights laws in a way that would directly undermine one of their main purposes: protecting the equal rights of girls and women. Congress did not legislate such an outcome, and the Court should not usurp Congress's authority by imposing such an extreme policy on the nation. Biology is not bigotry, and the Court should not conclude otherwise. John Stonestreet
Most government reports come and go unnoticed... this one had deadly consequences. Shenan J. Boquet
Condoms have been marketed so effectively as an all-around "solution" for those who want to embrace sexual activity without consequences, few stop to question whether condoms actually work. Those who think that condom usage will prevent any STIs are sadly mistaken. Let's go point-by-point. John Stonestreet
The science has led back to the truth. Nicole M. King
Divorce-alternate week arrangement damages children, experts say. Judie Brown
There is a serious danger on the horizon for America's aging population. There was a time when most Americans respected the dignity of our elders; today, far too many in positions of power have only respect for economic measures that make it increasingly palatable to dismiss from life those who are creating economic burdens for others. Like Nicholas Tonti-Filippini, we must all speak out so that even the smallest and sickest among us are assured the right to live. Judie Brown
First among the "ten reasons" is the indisputable fact that women who are on the pill have a far greater risk of having breast cancer. This is a clinically proven fact that has been frequently denied by those in the feminist movement and the medical community - including the government-controlled National Cancer Institute.

The free and unfettered enjoyment of sexual intercourse by spouses is undoubtedly a source of much pleasure and many goods for spouses when the circumstances of their lives allow such. To be able find every pregnancy a welcome event, those unplanned as well as planned, is surely a great blessing. But there are times when couples must limit their family size and must curtail their sexual activity. They should be confident that if their decision to limit their family size is well discerned, in using NFP they should be confident that they are acting morally and not mistrusting God nor misusing their sexual powers. Mark Regnerus
A study of consensual, overlapping sex partners unwittingly reveals the strengths of monogamy. That social scientists seem to speak only about the personal and relational consequences of behavior patterns, and think nothing about the social consequences of relationship systems, is further evidence that more is afoot than the mere sharing of information.
