I was always looking for the book that was really going to help me figure out how to be the best mom to each of our kids."

Reflections on Pain and Things That Break Our Hearts A Parent's Perspective: "It stabbed me like a knife in the heart knowing that he looks nothing like that picture now. Three years ago, my son stumbled into Internet groups that told him that the reason why he didn't fit in socially, was not due to his Autism, but because he was really a woman, not a man. My son now thinks that he's a woman and is taking hormones to try to achieve an impossible dream, that he can be a woman, fed by his own delusion and a world that tells him daily that he can."

Editorial
Surrogacy is a topic I've been contemplating a lot lately. Make no mistake: to me, it feels like one of the most serious human rights concerns of our time. You'll see it framed everywhere - movies, news, social feeds - as a kind, hopeful solution for couples who can't have children. At first glance it can seem beautiful and compassionate. But when I look more closely, especially through the lens of Catholic teaching, I worry about what surrogacy does to marriage, motherhood, children, and human dignity. From that perspective, the Church teaches that surrogacy is morally wrong. To see why, we need to start with how the Church understands life, love, and family.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Andrea Gurney Why Young People Are Avoiding Dating ... And What We Can Do About It Mike Johns There appears to be an intractable choice between family separation, on one hand, and a nation that does not enforce its own laws or protect its own borders, on the other. How to proceed? Karl Johnson We do not need experts to tell us how to get our kids out of the machine. Ann Farmer An examination of UK abortion decriminalization, disability discrimination, and late-term practice, arguing it fuels eugenics, endangers disabled babies, and erodes ethical limits under the guise of choice. Shenan J. Boquet The surrogacy industry has commercialized the bodies of woman and their children. Human children are being treated like common property, bought for the right price. The purpose of their lives is being subordinated to the desires of their purchasers, who are not seeking relationship, but rather some form of benefit.
Asia Human Rights The world has seen a lot of debate over falsehood being spread in the name of facts recently. This, though, is not a chance encounter. There is a very definite method in this madness. Lowering the quality of the conversation has always been a very well working mean of creating an environment of instability and violence. Michael Cook The foundation myth of bioethics, the 'demi-discipline's' self-professed raison d'etre is at best inadequate if not demonstrably false. Jeff J. Koloze This study reviews criteria established by the scholarship on biographical literary criticism and applies those criteria and an additional one, the cathartic value of biographical disclosure, to the abortion narratives of three celebrities: Gloria Swanson, Amy Brenneman, and Nicki Minaj.
Daniel Philpott Justice, in the Bible and in the Christian tradition, demands that we protect and remember every vulnerable and isolated person, made in the image of God. As reopening moves ahead, a surge of mercy to protect the elderly and others who are confined might prove a healing tonic for a bitterly riven society - and for the Christian church. John Stonestreet Fifty years ago last week, a government report lived up to the old adage that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. As terrible as the consequences of the Rockefeller Commission report have been, they were the result of a fundamental misunderstanding of the value and nature of human beings. Capital Punishment A Morally Flawed, Broken Legal–Social System Michael D. Pfeifer Capital punishment is contrary to the highest moral standards and flies in the face of justice, as it mistakenly proposes to solve the grave social ill of killing by killing; of ending violence through violence. A major defect of this morally flawed system is that innocence, or the degree of innocence, is very often determined by economics and power influence. People who are poor and people of color are often provided poor legal defense and are disproportionately executed.
Steven Mosher "Just a few days ago, I got a case involving a man who was disabled due to a severe beating by local government personnel just because his sister-in-law had had an additional baby without a permit." -- Chen Guangcheng Janet E. Smith Priests and bishops often shy away from preaching against contraception because they think people will be driven out of the Church. One of my most moving moments regarding Humanae Vitae was hearing Rex Moses, now of Corpus Christi, Texas tell how he and a large number of his extended family were converted to Catholicism after reading Humanae Vitae. Scott Hahn's experience and that of his wife Kimberly are also very telling. He and his wife stopped contracepting after she discovered the immorality of contraception while doing a research project on for a class in a Presbyterian seminary. The grace from that act of intellectual honesty and moral uprightness, I am convinced, was one of the major causes for their entry into the Church. Now their witness is drawing thousands closer to the Church and God. Asia Human Rights Universal Children's Day is being celebrated today (20th November), world over, with regrettably a majority of Pakistani children still facing a number of threats to their safety, security, and welfare, either due to the lack of or inadequacy of laws, and hazardous living environment.
John Stonestreet A recent shift in left-wing thought may mean a realignment with common sense and basic biology.
