Study Finds Higher Rates of Suicide Attempts for Women Who Have Abortions
In a new topic-blind study, 2,829 American women between ages 41 and 45 were surveyed about their reproductive health and suicide attempts. Authored by Elliot Institute Director David Reardon and published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology, the study found that women who had abortions or natural pregnancy loss were twice as likely to attempt to end their lives. Puberty Blockers and Brain Research
"Doctors announced research about brain development 17 years ago, but the results of the studies were never announced. Thus, one might assume this means nothing harmful came as a result. However, Sarah Burke, a neuroscientist who did brain research at the Amsterdam clinic 12 years ago, stated that the research was limited, and the participating group was very small, leading to an inconclusive study. So, the true effects of puberty blockers on pubertal brain development are unknown." Bishops Barron and O'Connell Respond to Failure of U.S. Senate to Advance Protections for Female Athletes
"An ideological promotion of personal identity, detached from biological reality, undermines human dignity and the role sports play in true educational formation. We reiterate our long-standing support for this Act and encourage female student athletes nationwide to continue to strive to uphold fairness and equality in athletic competitions." Do Aborted and Miscarried Babies Go to Heaven? Here's What the Bible Says
For millions of people, to acknowledge the humanity of the preborn child is to experience genuine remorse over abortion. It creates a thirst to know if and how God can forgive. And it leads to a question, asked with a blood-earnest sincerity, "What happened to my baby?" 'It Happened to Me for a Reason': Female Athlete Injured by Male Competitor to Be Honored by Trump
After a biological male volleyball player injured Payton McNabb, robbing her of the chance to play collegiate sports, she decided to dedicate herself to protecting other women from a similar fate. Who am I?
Gender ideologues are correct when they say gender is a cultural concept, but wrong when they make bizarre claims that sex is also a social construct, that a person can change sex, and there are more than two sexes. Despite the prevalence of gender clinicians who like to gloss over the biological reality that sex relates to the reproductive strategy of humans, there is no society which does not depend on the existence of fertile women and men to maintain or increase their population. Every person on the planet exists because an egg from a female was fertilised by sperm from a male. Until there is a case of a sperm-producing man who undergoes transformation to become an egg-producing woman, I remain unmoved by the belief that it is possible to change sex. Worried about a 'baby bust'? Then prevent pregnancy 'wastage'
Hardly a day goes by now without anxiety-laden news about falling birth rates across the globe. These are routinely accompanied by dire warnings about the anticipated long-term economic and societal consequences of too few babies. The main worries are a depleted workforce, reduced consumer spending, inadequate care for the elderly, and declining tax revenues. Is Hamas a legitimate representative of Islam?
Hamas is an acronym for the Arabic words Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya, which in English means Islamic Resistance Movement. Hamas, in other words, purports to be a representative of Islam. But is it? That is to ask: Is Hamas a legitimate representative of Islam? The Impact of Early Porn Exposure on Boys and How to Protect Them

Study Shows Abortion Pills are Not Safe for Women: More Pain and More Bleeding
One of the reasons (among others) we spend so much time complaining about the "studies" of mifepristone safety and efficacy put out by the abortion industry is that they aren't being straight with women about the risk and severity of side effects. More Headlines…

Millions of babies have come into the world through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This method can provide couples with a child they desperately want. And it has brought many precious new lives into being, and real happiness to millions of parents. Therefore, many now think IVF is the answer to infertility. BUT IT IS NOT! There is no story in the Bible that describes our current society better than the story of the Tower of Babel. Like us, the people of Babel were professionals with a working amount of technical skills. However, they allowed that knowledge to fool them into believing that they could compete with God - that they could do what God alone can do. We know that with all their human know-how, in the end, all they had to show for their work was a pile of rubble. We, in the present century, find ourselves in much the same situation. Our scientific technical know-how today far exceeds the scientists of Babel. However, there has also been a dark side to this technological advancement.

God is with us. This is the message of hope that we want to shout from the rooftops, that we want to beam over the airwaves, that we want to put on the front page of our publications and post on our social media accounts. Emmanuel: God is with us. We face many challenges today. Disease. Abortion. War. Poverty. Injustice. Climate change. Isolation. The terrible polarization that is afflicting our country makes all these challenges worse. It is easy to feel abandoned. Rates of depression and anxiety are up for all age groups, but especially for the young. Yet the Church steadfastly proclaims: God is with us. For two millennia, the Church has followed the example of the Apostles as gifted by the Spirit: proclaiming to each generation the Good News in word and deed. The means of communication may change over the centuries, but the message remains the same. 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 (literally, "out of place") pregnancies. Shenan J. Boquet
Bishop Burbidge points out that there is wide acceptance of IVF, with 82 percent of the general American population believing there is nothing immoral with the practice. And according to a recent Pew Research Center survey cited by the bishop, 65 percent of American Catholics view IVF as a good. This mindset, along with its accompanying actions, poses a grave threat "to human dignity and human rights," which are both "very obvious" and "at other times quite subtle," says Bishop Burbidge. Tragically, a majority of people fail to see or even acknowledge the humanity of the preborn child or how IVF commodifies life. Carson Holloway
In announcing Christianity's incompatibility with civilization, Kingsnorth implicitly claims to have noticed a vital truth of the faith that was somehow overlooked by most of the great teachers of Christianity for most of Christian history. This is a rather dubious proposition. Adeline A. Allen

The Christmas message is one of joy, even "great joy," but not superficial joy. Christmas confronts us with the sobering claim that humankind is in a state of sin - a state from which we cannot save ourselves. Hence the need for a savior, and hence the joyful Christian claim that God himself offers the salvation by coming to live among us. Michael Cook

In this passage, Jesus defines the disciples' -- and our -- primary responsibility: to abide in him. Any bearing fruit or taking action on our part must be a direct result of our first abiding in him.

We cannot possess joy. It possesses us. We are in it. And there are not many joyful people around, because many do not know where the key to joy can be found. But the key to a life of joy is to relinquish the pursuit of happiness. Judie Brown
Biotechnology has made drastic advances over the past few years. This fairly new specialty which, oddly enough, began with the study of the fermentation process associated with brewing beer, is today all about genetic engineering - be it of plants or human beings. Biotechnology encompasses everything from making a baby in a test tube to creating a human being like Superman through the use of nanotechnology. Proclaim Sermons
The apostle Paul is surprisingly candid about death, and the subject pops up frequently in his letters, including this passage to the church at Corinth. He explains his positive attitude toward death by offering a series of contrasts in which the unseen, eternal, incorporeal and immortal aspects of our future existence far outweigh the seen, momentary, corporeal and mortal nature of our brief existence on earth.

Much has been written over the past several weeks about the Netflix mini-series 13 Reasons Why. The series tells the story of a fictional adolescent who committed suicide and left audio tapes to 13 people in her life describing their alleged role in her decision to take her life. I concur with the recommendations that viewing of this series be avoided by all youth (and many adults as well)." Asia Human Rights
