Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children.

When Silence Feels Too Easy: A Christian Reflection on Abortion Pills

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Those Who Die in Violence

Restoring the Natural Definition of Marriage

Shenan J. Boquet
Of all the saints, Joseph stands as the model of faithful fatherhood: the man whom God entrusted with the protection of the Holy Family, and who fulfilled that mission with quiet, unwavering devotion. In him we see what marriage and fatherhood are meant to be, i.e. a sacrificial gift of self, ordered toward the good of spouse and children, rooted in obedience to God's plan.

Down Syndrome and Abortion

Susan Ciancio
A mother recently told me that, when she found out that her baby had a 99% chance of having Down syndrome, her first course of action was to do an online search for what she could expect. What she found frightened her.

Missouri pharmacists don't need to "believe" that "emergency contraception" can cause abortions; It's an objective scientific fact.

Dianne N. Irving
In the article below, NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri's "survey" is referenced, indicating that pharmacists "cite morals" for bans on "emergency contraceptives" ("morning-after" pills), and that "pharmacists' right to dispense prescriptions" is "based on personal beliefs." .. The article continues with its deceptions: "EC is not the same as the RU-486 pill; it does not cause abortion and will not work if a woman is already pregnant." Wouldn't that all be convenient - if it were true?

Syrian Children v. American Children

Judie Brown
No matter which adjective you put in front of the word "children," it does not add to or take away from the importance or sacredness of each and every one of their lives. Syrian children, American children, preborn children - all their lives have value and deserve respect and protection. Yet it seems, to some, that there is a hierarchy to this value. And this mindset is lethal.
