Premature Twins Born at 27 Weeks During a Medical Emergency are Doing Great Now Twins who were born very prematurely after their mother's water broke at just 20 weeks gestation are now thriving one year later. Birth Rate Drops as Number of Babies Killed in Abortions Hit Record Highs The number of babies born in the United States declined in 2025 while the number of babies killed in abortions has hit record highs. Study: Adolescents Who Received Gender Reassignment Have Worse Mental Health 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"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church's teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings If the pre-born are not human, pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf is fond of saying, then no defense of abortion is necessary. But if they are human, no defense of abortion is adequate. Just One Study Found Abortion Pills Injured Over 95,000 Women EPPC looked at more than 865,000 insurance claims of actual mifepristone patients and determined that the serious adverse events rate was closer to 11%! Just war doctrine and the duties of soldiers 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." New: IOC Policy Protects Female Sports On Thursday, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a new policy to protect the female (women's) category in Olympic sports. Eligibility for female sports will now be determined by a genetic test for the presence of the SRY gene, which triggers male sexual development and cannot change. The IOC policy is likely to have downstream positive effects on international federations and sports governing bodies. However, past Olympic medals awarded to males competing in female sports will not be rescinded. More Headlines…

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives William Lawyer Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby's heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies we see around us. 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.
Steven Mosher Are the Chinese people going on a baby strike? As Xi Jinping purges one general after another, seeking to further consolidate his power, the population at large remains quiescent. John Stonestreet The biggest pain point for many parents is - you guessed it - smartphones. Should our kids own them? If so, how do we keep them from owning our kids? C. Ward Kischer The objections to human embryonic stem cell research (hescr) lie in the fact that to obtain the so - called "stem cells" destroys the embryo, and, thus, human life. This is predicated on the known scientific fact that human life begins, by sexual reproduction, with fertilization, or, by asexual reproduction, when a cloning procedure would be used. To avoid the moral problem of destroying human life, Professor William B. Hurlbut, a member of The President's Council on Bioethics, has proposed a rather novel approach by altering a gene, which, according to him, would redefine the initiation of human life. To fully understand Hurlbut's idea we must first cite some preliminary studies which have been made in mice.
Shannon Roberts Population panic turns to concern about fertility problems. A.I.R.V.S.C. This issue includes Report on Health Effects of Abortion on Women: Conflicts and Needed Research, by Wanda Franz, Ph.D., President; Characteristics of Women Seeking Services at an Independent Crisis Pregnancy Center, by Wanda Franz, Ph.D; Increased Smoking Rates In Women Following Induced Abortion, by Thomas Strahan; and reports that indicate abortion adversely impacts upon the parental attitude towards the legal obligation of a parent to provide for the care and support of a child. Arthur Goldberg The progressive left is working to overcome what it perceives as the out-of-date premises of the Judeo-Christian ethic previously reflected in scouting. Michael Cook Increasingly, people believe that their fates are written in their genes.
Richard Weikart If a non-teleological process produced human morality, then how can we find a measuring rod for morality outside of nature that allows us to prefer "moral" behaviors to "immoral" behaviors? Judie Brown Planned Parenthood is worried about the media finding out that it is actually marketing the body parts and cells of preborn babies once those children are aborted. Judie Brown It can be difficult to stand up for our faith, for what is right and good, for what we know to be the will of God. We need good leaders - clergy who will set that example and show us the way, but we cannot rely only on them. We must also set the example. We must have the courage to take the lead so that others may do the same. And it is only in God that we will find this strength.
