A coalition of medical professionals, pro-life advocates, and the director of the Catholic Institute of Bioethics held a press conference in Seoul, Korea on Wednesday to "slam the South Korean government's move to review the possible legalization of abortion pills, emphasizing protection of pregnant women and children," according to UCA News. School Districts Stonewalling Parents Despite SCOTUS Rulings
Despite the Supreme Court rulings affirming parental rights in Mirabelli and Mahmoud, public school districts continue to hide student?s "gender identity" from parents. IVF Kills More Unborn Babies Than Planned Parenthood
If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood? Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital
A baby born weighing barely a pound at just 22 weeks gestation has finally been sent home after months in hospital, making him the most premature baby to survive at the hospital where he was born. Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life. Afghanistan: 3.7 million children under five at risk of malnutrion
A new UNICEF report warns that 3.7 million Afghan children under the age of five are at risk of malnutrition, urging urgent investment in preventive nutrition measures before the country's annual peak hunger season. Want More Babies? We Need More Friends
The American birthrate has fallen below 1.6 children per woman. Replacement fertility requires about 2.1. The United States is now in its third extended period of below-replacement fertility, after the Great Depression years and a stretch from 1972 to 1989. The current period, though, has lasted longer and fallen lower than either of the previous two. When the year 2000 arrived, we came in about a billion short. I Lived as a Woman for 8 Years. Being 'Transgender' Is a Fantasy
Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one's sexual identity, either XX (female) or XY (male). Cross-sex hormones and surgery cannot change intrinsic sex. The Media Eagerly Take the Wrong Side of the Facts on Girls Sports
Journalists love to boast that they are "Facts First" people, that they are the brave souls seeking out 'truth.' But when it comes to transgenderism, facts go out the window, and truth is triggering. When the Supreme Court upheld state bans on boys in girls sports, NBC anchor Craig Melvin sounded apologetic in live coverage. More Headlines…

If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Mike Johns
It is in accepting the poor and the wretched refuse that the greatness and promise of America are to be found. Christopher O. Tollefsen
There is no guarantee that the bioethics of our future will live up to America's founding promises and insights. Those of us concerned that such a bioethics should exist must, as Lincoln said in honoring the dead of Gettysburg, "be dedicated to the unfinished work" of creating, sustaining, and defending that bioethics. It will be no small task, but I hope to have given some sense of what the shape of that task must be. Siobhan Heekin-Canedy
Perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from the Olympian mothers is that women are more than their bodies, and that we are all called to integrated human excellence, body and soul. Mark Bauerlein
What counts as serious? At what point does difficulty signal a disability? Much of that is up to the disabled one, whose lived experience is decisive. Judie Brown
Life is indeed in God's mind sacred from conception, and as it is a unique act of creation of a new person, God alone is the final author of how conception is to take place for those who read, believe and care deeply for the word of God.

You don't have to go out of your way today to be confronted with the subject of contraception. In November 2012, the United Nations Population Fund issued its annual report entitled "By Choice, Not by Chance," describing contraception as a global "right" for women, and calling for the removal of all social and financial obstacles to access to its presumed benefits. In the very same month, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists publicly called on the federal government to permit over-the-counter sales of birth control pills. Theresa Burke
The human mind has a tremendous capacity to repress undesirable feelings and re-channel them into more tolerable tortures. If we cannot find a way to work through the trauma with our conscious intellect, our unconscious mind will accomplish the task for us. Trying to cope with these shattered phantoms may invite the abuse of alcohol or drugs, and a vicious, unrelenting cycle of self-destruction, heaping insult on top of injury until awareness of the original problem has been annihilated. Eric Metaxas
2017 is a year of milestone anniversaries for events that shaped our world: the Reformation, the Russian Revolution, and one horrible Supreme Court decision. Carolyn Moynihan
The British government is very active on the family front right now. Some of what they are doing is potentially good -- like speeding up adoptions, which are often delayed through efforts of the authorities to "match" children with adoptive parents of the same race, and giving fathers the right to share maternity leave (12 months total).

Sometimes we behave as if no one's watching. In such times we must remember we are not alone. God walks with us. That should affect how we act! God is waiting not only for our confession and repentance, but also to grant us the gifts of hope, restoration and goodness in our lives as we go forward with God. The prophet Joel tells us, despite all we have lost, there is still time. The Day of the Lord looms - a truly dark day when it happens. But God is patient. For now. But for how much longer? Sheila Liaugmina
When Pope Francis visited each stop on his Holy Land pilgrimage last weekend, he delivered short but poignant messages, keeping with the way Francis addresses everything he sees and sums up concerning problems for global humanity. Asia Human Rights
Reports indicate that police accept bribes to ignore prostitution and sex trafficking. Women and girls are also sold into forced marriages; in some cases, their "new husbands" prostitute them in Iran or Afghanistan. In other cases, girls are used as chattel to settle debts or disputes.

Eric Voegelin's warnings about the dangers of gnostic politics apply to the right as well as the left. Christians must make a clear and unequivocal distinction between the historic Christian faith and the misleading political religion that is more pervasive on the right than anyone seemed to realize. Judie Brown
The fact is that those who advocate the killing of the preborn child are the very same people who would deny that a preborn human being is a person. PP and its cronies are committed to deception, for if they were not, they would never defend an act that kills someone by claiming that it was something else entirely. If this sounds like double-talk to you, then you understand the fundamental problem with abortion -- abortion is a lie.
