Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever
A growing body of research suggests that living near grandparents can have lasting benefits for parents, children, and family life as a whole. Mailed Abortion Pills, Part 2: Physical Perils and Mental Traumas
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against buying abortion pills through mail. On its website, it headlines a section, "FDA Does Not Recommend Buying Mifepristone Online." It elaborates "buying it online" means "bypassing important safeguards specifically designed to protect health." It comments there is no way to be certain any medication received through mail is safe. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
On June 5, 2026, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of herself and 13 other state attorneys general questioning whether "the abortion pill[1]" was contaminating American water. What does this mean? It means that, if ambient concentrations of mifepristone reach "sufficient concentration," it could affect pregnant women who unintentionally are exposed to it. Nor is there clear research about how it could affect "reproductive organ development and fertility," i.e., the next generation of young people entering puberty. British Medical Association Requires Doctors to Starve Patients to Death
The subtitle of the revised and updated version of my book criticizing utilitarian bioethics, Culture of Death, is, "The Age of 'Do Harm' Medicine." Helping patients kill themselves by self-starvation and dehydration -- known in euthanasia parlance as VSED (for voluntary stopping eating and drinking) -- certainly fits that designation. Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons
The question Congress will have to answer is, "Who gets to deprive a preborn baby of his or her 5th Amendment right to life without due process?" The telemedicine company illegally shipping the drugs across state lines? The doctor? The abusive boyfriend or husband? The politician? The womb renters? The mother? National Day of Remembrance Will Mourn 66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions
"Mourn for these children because they are members of the human family," Jansen said. "They were created in God's image like we were. They deserve to be mourned for." The joy of killing babies
There are scenes that sum up the sickness of an era, and we saw one of them unfold in the office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Monday. She was at her desk, surrounded by beaming women. There was flashing and the sound of camera shutters; the governor bent over and signed a document. She nodded as the women broke out into laughter and applause. 'Thank you,' she said. ...The momentous event was Governor Healy's signing of the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which eliminated one of the state's last remaining abortion laws. If You Want To Be A Grandparent One Day, Raise Your Kids To Get Married And Want Babies ASAP
If you'd rather spend your 60s holding grand-babies instead of watching your 30-something daughter livestream hormone injections, start laying the foundation for marriage and parenthood now. They Cheered Abortions Up to Birth, And They Want More
I watched a clip of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the bill legalizing abortion up to the moment of birth. It felt completely surreal. A group of women stood around her, applauding. The thought that came to mind was "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Caitlyn Jenner Has a Simple Answer to the WNBA's Transgender Player Problem
Where sex is concerned, human reproductive biology is pretty standard: Humans are sexually bipolar, with two sexes, male and female. This is determined genetically at conception; barring a few rare and usually debilitating genetic disorders, an XX chromosome pair results in a female, and an XY pair, a male. That's just how it is. These are facts. And another fact is that the XY pairing gives the resulting child and, in time, adult, a significant advantage in sports. More Headlines…

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.

Genuine humility is the road to wisdom. And growth in wisdom leads to even more humility. It's a virtuous cycle. Tony Perkins
Pride Month 2026 began with some bracing news for the LGBTQIA+ movement. According to Gallup's latest annual survey, public support for same-sex marriage, the morality of homosexual conduct, and transgenderism has declined significantly. James Macpherson
Politicians abandoned common sense for fear of offending. David Upham
Indeed, because our Constitution recognizes the right of both mother and father to the custody of their joint offspring, that Constitution surely permits - if not requires - all the states of our Union to publicly favor, once again, the lifelong "union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Shenan J. Boquet
Genetic manipulation becomes arbitrary and unjust when it reduces life to an object, when it forgets that it is dealing with a human subject, capable of intelligence and freedom, worthy of respect whatever may be their limitations; or when it treats this person in terms of criteria not founded on the integral reality of the human person, at the risk of infringing upon his dignity.

Presented are ten strategies of argumentation that are characterized by their manipulative approach to debate. The purpose is to win the debate, not clarify the issues. The arguments must be won at any cost, even if it means switching the terms of the debate and engaging in inconsistent and incompatible arguments. These arguments can be very irrational and it is very irritating to debate with someone who doesn't mind being irrational. That is why such debates often deteriorate into emotional conflicts. This is, of course, counter productive to educating people about the abortion issue. Michael Cook
The world's most prestigious science journal, Nature, has thrown its weight behind the legalisation of "three-parent embryos". Kurt Mahlburg
Activists are wasting their time tearing down old statues. Abuse is happening here and now. Anthony Zimmerman
Fr. Anthony Zimmerman was a dear friend, a great priest, an enthusiastic promoter of Humanae Vitae and NFP, and a zealous teacher-sharer who worked right up to the end of his life. Fr. Zimmerman WAS and IS and always WILL BE a gift to the Church, leaving behind his writings and his missionary zeal. May his example inspire all members of the Body of Christ and assist us in our efforts. He was truly an NFP giant and had a tremendous love for the Church. He will be missed.

Russian scientists claim to have discovered liquid woolly mammoth blood in a frozen carcase in Siberia, which would make cloning a real possibility. Judie Brown
The taking of one's own life is nothing but a tragedy. Helping someone to take his life only compounds this tragedy. As we see in today's guest commentary, there are many who advocate for just this thing - assisted suicide. As the author explains, all life must be valued - whether this life is healthy or sick. Read on for more on this timely subject. Douglas McManaman
We all have our own particular battle ground, that is, our own unique struggles. What I have found over the years is that the seven capital sins are a continuum that marks a range on which each person can begin to outline, in general terms, his own particular battle ground. Nathanael Blake
For a political order supposedly built on faulty philosophical foundations, liberalism has been surprisingly resilient. Political theorist David Walsh argues it is the political expression of the Christian epiphany of the person that has been differentiated by modern philosophy. Yet Even in Walsh's defense of liberal modernity, the menace of Luciferian possibilities flickers at the edge of vision.

Vietnamese outlet Thanh Nien News reports that the Vietnamese government is preparing to categorically reverse its two-child policy. If this happens, Vietnamese families will be able to decide for themselves how many children they can have, without government fines or punishment. Shenan J. Boquet
Catholic theologians are expressing alarm after a Vatican institute originally founded by Pope St. John Paul II to defend Catholic teaching on life and family has instead published a book that includes sections that appears to undermine Catholic teaching, particularly on the issue of contraception.
