No, Parents Shouldn't Be Browbeaten into 'Affirming' Their Gender-Dysphoric Children
Rarely does a single journal article capture the full range of intellectual errors committed by pediatric 'gender' activists. A June 2026 'clinical perspective' in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry comes very close. A mere glance at Michal J. McDowell et al.'s 'Using a Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Model to Join Caregivers of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth' is enough to alert the reader that he or she is in strange territory indeed. Children Bring Higher Meaning and Purpose to Life
Conventional wisdom holds that children bring a special kind of existential purpose into the lives of their parents. A Pew survey of 17 countries found that 'family and children' was by far the most commonly selected source of meaning in life, and a survey of Greeks found that 87% of parents marked 'giving meaning to life' as an advantage of having children. Same-sex marriage arguments are now selling polyamory
The old joke that 'whoever said marriage is a 50-50 proposition didn't know the half of it,' takes on a whole new meaning in a culture flirting with 'polyamory.' Within the word, 'poly' means multiple, and 'amor' means love. Thus, polyamory refers to multiple loves, or what has traditionally been called 'open relationships.' Abortion and Euthanasia Wrongly Tell People Death is a Solution
Whatever happened to medicine saving lives? How is it that so many can claim that abortion, the intentional killing of a baby not yet born, constitutes health care? Why is euthanasia, the intentional killing of someone who would otherwise live longer, described as a "hard beauty"? It makes no sense. Not if you still believe what medicine was always supposed to believe: that doctors exist to save lives, not to end them on purpose. Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths are Rising Because of Abortion Pills
Every few months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its 2022 Dobbs decision, another article claims that prolife laws are keeping women from essential medical care, and higher rates of maternal mortality are inevitable. The most recent example is an article in Propublica magazine, which asserted in its title: "Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It's Worse in States With Abortion Bans." Over 50 abortions for every prenatal visit: Why are we funding Planned Parenthood?
Ninety days of conversations. Ninety days of closed-door discussions between members. Ninety days of delay while the largest abortion business in America continues collecting taxpayer money and killing our youngest, most vulnerable citizens. On July 4, 2025, a one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood took effect under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For 12 months, families were no longer forced to underwrite the nation's abortion giant. That protection ended on July 4, 2026, and the funding was restored. In the three months since, Congress has done nothing but talk. Canada Approved Euthanasia for Woman Who Could No Longer Cook for Her Family
A Canadian woman in her 70s was approved for euthanasia after she lost the ability to cook for her family, a role she had prized as the matriarch. New Study Undercuts Messaging of Transgender Ideologues
Studies claiming that the brains of males who identifies as 'transgender women" appear more anatomically similar to female brains than to other males are methodologically very weak and are not supported by the evidence, says a new, peer-reviewed study. Canada's MAID Program Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
Following the death of a beloved grandmother who was killed without her consent through Canada's government-run assisted suicide program, public outcry is building against the 10-year-old scheme that has killed over 100,000 Canadians. Expert Debunks Claim Abortion Bans Led to Higher 'Suicidality' Among Teen Girls
Teen girls are not more likely to consider suicide just because their state bans abortion, contrary the claims of researchers. More Headlines…

Editorial
Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...

If America's unity frays, the problem is probably not its diversity, but that America needs its many cultural groups - and perhaps new ones - to contribute more of their special strengths to public life. Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters. Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance. Jordan J. Ballor
Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another.

We live in an age where the rights of animals appear to have caught the imagination of many, leading one to wonder what has happened to the moral compass in our land. Asia Human Rights
There has been an epidemic of summary killings and extrajudicial executions across the Philippines for decades now. Tom Bartolomeo
Generally speaking many people, when asked, would say that at their death they would hope and pray to go to heaven and many, perhaps some here, may not really know what that entails. A reward for living a good life however one see it? If that is true then there are these concerns we should have about Jesus' instructions. "No one has ever ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven" to which Jesus added, "the Son of Man, who is in heaven."(John 3, 13). I am tempted to stop here and let you figure that out. Proclaim Sermons
Summary: Jesus told a parable about our ability to receive a seed from God and produce an abundant harvest. If we are good soil, we'll be amazed by what is created. Proclaim Sermons
If you have ever been surprised by the sudden appearance of in-laws at the door of your home, you know that hospitality can be a burden. If we never had to serve another turkey dinner or grill steaks on the barbie for guests, it would not bother us in the least. Yet, at some point, we cannot get away from the fact that Jesus encourages us to be welcoming. Fine. Does that mean anything more than simply being polite?

A visit to the hospice in China where her father was recently moved left her shocked at the conditions for those who did not have family to sit with and look after them, and worried about the dignity of the elderly in China in general - even more so given the increase in the elderly population to come.

America's election mail-in ballot scam has been a huge problem the last four national elections (2012 thru 2018). Is there any solution that can be applied with only 40-some days until the November 3, 2020 election?

A curious and tragic disconnect marks India's attitude to its female population. One third of the seats in the Indian Parliament are now occupied by women, but the practice of female feticide and female infanticide remains widespread. Proclaim Sermons
A salesman staying at a hotel gets an unwanted wake-up call on his first morning in town. Unable to get back to sleep, he browses through the room's Bible. A verse in Ephesians about waking up and arising in the light of Christ catches his attention. His experiences over the next days help him begin to see how to live in the light and expose the works of darkness. Ron Panzer
It seems that healthy debate within the pro-life community can bring out more effective methods of advocacy than doing nothing. If questioning the NRLC raises a ruckus, then so be it. I'd rather that in the pursuit of the truth and in the sincere pursuit of safety for the vulnerable. We're not here to protect NRLC. We're here to protect life.
