Softball Hall of Famer on the Future of Men in Women's Sports - 'Girls Are Going to Get Wiped Out'
As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up.

After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion.

The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

Nagasaki, 81 Years Later: A Wound That Calls Us to Peace

Remembering the People: Today, as we remember Nagasaki, I do not want simply to speak about an event in history. I want us to remember people - fathers and mothers, children and grandparents, students and workers, priests and religious sisters - whose lives were suddenly destroyed on August 9, 1945.

As a Catholic priest who has lived and served in Japan for 61 years, I have come to understand that Nagasaki is not simply a place on a map. Nagasaki is a sacred place of memory. It is a place where the history of Japan, the history of the Catholic Church, and the tragedy of war come together. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Don't Worry. Be Conservative.

Ben Peterson
The war on spiritual poverty is worth fighting, and we need foot soldiers and generals who are willing to wage it.

New! America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty.

New! Abortion Drug Crisis: Four Years After Overturning of Roe v Wade, Abortions Have Nearly Doubled

Dan Hart
Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws.

New! Roi Yozevitch Is AI Taking Over the "Religion of the Book"?

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

Ten Great Reasons to Have Another Child

Steven Mosher
Not sure if you should have another baby? These 10 compelling reasons will show you why growing your family is a great choice not only for you, but for the world.

Newman's The Idea of a University and Engineering Programs in Today’s Universities

Jeff J. Koloze
I hold that the nineteenth-century Newman can say much to us in the twenty-first century regarding the vital purposes of the university not only in encouraging humanities knowledge, but also in strengthening the specialized, often scientific focus of many university programs. Moreover, I believe that Newman's framework for university education, although formulated with a Roman Catholic institution in mind, bears sufficient universal principles so that they can be implemented without creating undue tension between secular and religious interests.

Let's not pretend that abortion doesn't hurt

Nicole M. King
For more than 40 years, feminist activists have been congratulating themselves on having won for American women a nearly unfettered right to abortion. That these activists ignore the unborn lives snuffed out has deeply troubled many Americans. But new research is raising troubling questions even for Americans willing to focus exclusively on the well-being of the women who seek abortions.

Early pregnancy is so important for child development

Carolyn Moynihan
The New Zealand Herald print edition today has a large photo of the unborn child -- early gestation -- on the front page. It's a rare event but nice to see in a country where the abortion rate (21 per 1000 known pregnancies) is as high as in the US or Australia. But the picture has nothing to do with status of the child as such.

Becoming Jesus

Tom Bartolomeo
The only real obstacle to our union with God is our stubbornness and pretense that we are full without him. This is the good news God sent angels to announce to humble shepherds in a field near a stable in Bethlehem.

Good Catholics cannot be Pro-Choice

Judie Brown
God's law in the Old Testament is clear and unambiguous: You shall not kill. Jesus is even more demanding: Every one who is angry is liable to judgment.

Am I Pro-Life?

Ron Panzer
You may think that the answer to that question is pretty straightforward, a simple matter of opinions held or asserted, or not, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Many think that it's simply a question of whether you hold a certain political view or not: for or against the right to kill others in certain situations, like saying, "it's ok to kill a person who is in an embryonic, fetal or otherwise unborn state." Or, "it's ok to kill others who are just born, very old, very disabled, genetically-different, chronically-ill or who take up too much time in the hospital, who cost too much for the taxpayer-funded government services." Or not.

Grief Responses from Induced Abortion
Thomas W. Strahan, J.D.

A.I.R.V.S.C.
Two studies on grief reactions relating to induced abortion are summarized in this Newsletter. One study describes pre-abortion and short-term post-abortion reactions. The other study describes long term reactions. These studies did attempt to use objective test methods and criteria to measure the multifaceted aspects of grief. This factor alone separates them from the vast majority of psychological studies reported in the literature.

Which Products Use Aborted Fetuses?

Shenan J. Boquet
Today's consumer products are not the soap and lampshades of "recycled" Nazi concentration camp victims that we see in museums. The new utilitarian use of "people as product" is a sophisticated enterprise that is not visible to the human eye.

Playboy's Historical Hate Rape

Judith Reisman
Playboy's recent online "So Right, It's Wrong" campaign to "hate rape" ten conservative women, providing a gallery with their names, photos and videos has received some rightful condemnation. However, few people realize that "hate rape" mirth is in keeping with Playboy's long history of marketing the sexual assault of women and children.
