How the Abortion Industry Enables Human Trafficking
Each year sex trafficking claims an estimated 100,000 new victims in the US and in various forms enslaves as many as 400,000 young people. Shockingly, the average age of enslavement of girls is 12-14 years. While public awareness of sex trafficking is growing, sadly most Americans have yet to comprehend just how deeply its ugly tentacles have infiltrated American society. Sex trafficking is literally all around us--hiding in plain sight, if we know what to look for.

Gavin Newsom is Obsessed With Killing Babies in Abortions
Newsom signed a budget bill that coughed up $90 million in "one-time emergency funds" for Planned Parenthood, the king of abortion "providers" and other women's health providers.

Gender Ideology Threatens Catholic Formation
"Not all Catholic educators, and not all Catholic schools, oppose gender ideology. Some dioceses have given no guidance or encouragement to families (or their Catholic schools) on this issue - despite the devastating effects on a child, and the whole family, when a child is wooed and won by the lies of gender ideology. Worse, too many Catholic families I have met in my work have felt betrayed by Catholic schools that affirmed and encouraged their child's newfound 'LGBTQ' identification, often behind parents' backs."

An Atheist's Argument Against Abortion

Selling Motherhood: Why Commercial Surrogacy Echoes Trafficking

Wombs for sale? Unborn baby pricing? Selling motherhood? I want to be honest with you: surrogacy, human trafficking, and Catholic teaching are challenging issues. They touch on deep longings (to be loved, to be a parent), real human suffering (poverty, coercion, abuse), and big questions about what it means to treat people with dignity. My aim here is not to lecture but to help you think through the moral issues associated with "MODERN-DAY SLAVERY".

Advances in reproductive technology have changed what families look like today. For some, surrogacy brings real hope. But when surrogacy becomes a commercial transaction - when reproductive labor is bought and sold - it raises serious ethical and social questions. Many Catholics compare COMMERCIAL SURROGACY to forms of modern corruption and TRAFFICKING. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! What Is Zionism? What Is Christian Zionism?

Jay W. Richards
Basic decency provides more than enough grounds for Christians to oppose hateful and irrational attacks against Jews and Israel. We should treat these episodes as tests of our courage and discernment, because that's exactly what they are.

New! Pregnancy: Blessing or Disease?

Judie Brown
We have spent decades working to help our brothers and sisters discern the simple fact that when a man and a woman procreate a child, that human being is as deserving of life as her parents. It seems simple enough, but as we know, rhetorical machinations, false science, and skewed marketing have resulted in a literal bloodbath, taking the lives of millions of preborn babies.

New! True End-of-Life Care: Respecting the Sacredness of Human Life

Shenan J. Boquet
Human dignity is not measured by its efficiency or usefulness. Life always has value, despite illness, frailty, and limitations. The answer to suffering is not to offer death, but to guarantee forms of social support, continuous health care, and home health care, so that the patient does not feel alone and families can be supported and accompanied.

New! The Counterfeiting of Males and Females Is Medical Malpractice

Walt Heyer
A landmark malpractice verdict exposes the harms of so-called "gender-affirming care", vindicating a young woman's justice and accelerating accountability for doctors who medically harm vulnerable children.

New! Why Are We So Pornsick?

Nathanael Blake
Forming young men will be a lot easier if we remove the filth that is choking out loving and flourishing complementary relationships between men and women.

Despite the headlines, despite the gruesome photos, Africa is not falling apart

Mathew Otieno
The outbreak of civil war in Sudan has been a disaster. The world is gazing with horror at the mounting civilian death toll and the flight of refugees. However, the conflict has also punched an ugly hole into Africa's already tattered image.

It's time to kick an abortion giant out of Kenya

Mathew Otieno

13 reasons why you should be deeply sceptical of the IVF industry

Michael Cook
After the Alabama Supreme Court's recent ruling that frozen embryos deserve the same protections as children, politicians have been falling over themselves to find ways to defend the US IVF industry. I'd like to convince you that IVF is a morally complex issue, so complex and tangled that it needs to be regulated. This is the case whether or not you believe that frozen embryos are "extrauterine children" living in a "cryogenic nursery", in the words of the Court.

Costa Rican organ trafficking exposed

Boy born without a brain dies after three years

Michael Cook
A Colorado family is mourning this week the death of a son who was born without a brain. Although anencephaly - a condition in which babies are born with only a brain stem - affects 1 in 10,000 births, most live only a few hours or days. Nickolas Coke lived three years before succumbing to pneumonia.

Abortion Isn't 'Healthcare'

John Stonestreet
One step in making abortion illegal and unthinkable is unmasking the verbal tricks that obscure reality. It's time to make abortion advocates tell the truth, and that begins with refusing to play the language game.

How do we want our great-great-grandchildren to die?

Margaret Somerville
Striking down, as unconstitutional, the Criminal Code provision prohibiting assisted suicide, as the Gloria Taylor case does, in effect legalizing physician-assisted suicide, is a very bad idea for many reasons and a step backwards for Canada and Canadians and Canadian values, ethics and law. Not least because it will, inevitably, lead to legalizing euthanasia.

I am Kelvin Cochran

Carolyn Moynihan
After 34 years of service he must have done something pretty bad to get fired, so what was it? Did he let someone's house burn down? Nope. Did he suddenly get incompetent at dealing with his staff? Did he launch an unauthorised, bold new plan to reform the fire service in Atlanta? No, and no.
