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. That was in addition to his October generosity when Newsom approved a $140 million allocation to PPFA, raising the total to above $200 million. Two-thirds of aborted babies lost their lives to abortion pills, report finds After a report found that nearly two-thirds of abortions are chemical, advocacy groups are pushing for national and local safeguards against mail-order abortion pill prescriptions. 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 Don Marquis was an atheist philosopher best known for his argument against abortion, which makes absolutely no appeal to religion, the soul, or God. So, how does Marquis reason to his conclusion? Studies Show Unborn Babies Demonstrate Consciousness During Pregnancy Do fetuses have sensory experiences? 685 UK Babies Were Killed in Abortions Just Because They Had Down Syndrome In England and Wales, 685 babies with Down's syndrome were aborted in 2023, while 40 babies with a cleft lip or palate were aborted.

Youth loneliness, a global challenge with profound bioethical implications Loneliness has become one of the most worrying social and health phenomena of our time, with a particularly intense impact among adolescents and young people Gender Ideology Threatens Catholic Formation The primary targets of gender ideology are children, adolescents, and young adults.

Editorial
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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
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. Mathew Otieno Marie Stopes International has been called to account, but decisive action should follow. 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. Xavier Symons Costa Rican police have arrested a doctor for organ trafficking. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Asia Human Rights The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), a regional human rights organization in Asia, condemns the repeated arbitrary arrest and detention occurring in Papua. Three particular cases have come to the AHRC's attention, documented below. Judith Reisman Mother Marge is used to snare millions of child "Simpson" fans, future pornography addicts, boys made impotent, dependent on pornography and often predatory, to "feel" anything, and girls trained to risk their very survival however an eortotoxic society has shown them is desirable.
