UK transgender bathroom ban is the latest setback for the LGBT lobby
Because the landmark 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling stating that 'sex' in the Equality Act refers only to biological sex -- rather than 'gender identity,' as trans activists claimed -- the transgender movement has faced setback after setback. After being almost entirely conquered by the trans movement in less than a decade, the pendulum has been swinging back in the UK.

Science Is Making the Humanity of Unborn Babies Harder to Ignore

Abortion Industry Promotes New, Dangerous Chemical Abortion Regimen

Sex-Affirming Care vs "Gender-Affirming Care"
"Gender-Affirming Care is dressed in the language of compassion. Yet behind the reassuring vocabulary sits the automatic medicalisation of a person's sense of identity...Therapy has moved from helping people understand themselves to helping them reshape their bodies and faces so that their appearance reflects an inner psychological reality."

Gaza children trapped 'in an endless cycle of suffering': UNICEF
The dire conditions in the Gaza Strip are trapping children "in an endless cycle of suffering" and their heartbroken parents can only look on, an official with the UN child rights agency UNICEF said on Friday in a fresh appeal for greater humanitarian access to support families in the war-ravaged enclave.

I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth
Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control.

Pope Leo's over 400 appeals for peace during first year of pontificate

Who Decides When A Life Is Valuable?

Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Ethical Perspectives

New! A Father's Cry

Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.

New! War, Restraint, and the Christian Conscience

Russell L. Lackey
The church's task is neither to baptize the sword nor to pretend the sword has no place in a fallen world. It is to stand beneath the cross, telling the truth.

New! From Promised Autonomy to Delivered Harm: Structural Violence in the Era of Mail-Order Abortion Drugs

Gavin Oxley
Government systems should be designed with care in mind, not weaponized to harm abortion-vulnerable women.

Nathanael Blake
Only a revitalization of the richness of Christian marriage will suffice as a bulwark against the insanity, exploitation, and selfishness of the gender and sexual revolutions.

New! Physician-Assisted Suicide and Death Tourism: Fake Choices and Dangerous Abuses

William Lawyer
Over the last few years, the United States has seen a significant increase in the number of states allowing physician-assisted suicide. Similar to euthanasia, where a doctor intentionally causes a patient?s death, physician-assisted suicide involves the prescription of lethal drugs that patients can then take themselves.

Pornography and the Attack on the Living Temple of God

Official Documents
We stand at a threshold - either we can continue to allow this plague to spread with fewer and fewer checks, or we can take concrete steps to uproot it in our lives, our families, our neighborhoods and our culture. A free people can combat the tremendous moral, social and spiritual danger of pornography with great courage. My fervent prayer is that Catholics, other Christians, and all people of good will understand this threat, confront it, facilitate true healing, and ever more fully live out our God - given use of human sight.

Critical Disability Studies and Fiction on the Right-to-Life Issues: Carlos Fuentes' Christopher Unborn (1987), Lois Lowry's The Giver (1993), and the Million Dollar Baby Franchise

Jeff J. Koloze
After supplying examples of the jargon-laden academic discussion of critical disability studies, this paper summarizes major ideas which constitute the literary theory. Critical disability studies is the newest literary theory which students of literature can use in their analysis and appreciation of literature. Although surprising, since one would think that disability critics would be vocal in their criticism of politicians who support the killing of the handicapped person (whether he or she is unborn or born), searches on academic databases for critical disability studies on the three right-to-life issues yielded dismally few results.

Transition Surgeries in a Global Crisis

John Stonestreet
A recent article in Vice described how certain "life-altering" surgeries had been deemed "non-essential" during this COVID-19 crisis.

The wrong lesson from Hiroshima

Michael Cook
It's not weakness to regard dropping atom bombs on two Japanese cities as immoral.

Let's Talk about Abortion: A Response to Dennis O'Brien

Christopher Kaczor
Fetal killing imposes a serious bodily harm on an innocent human being. The law should prohibit abortion just as it does other serious harms to the well-being of persons, such as assault, rape, kidnapping, and theft.

New Research on Same-Sex Households Reveals Kids Do Best With Mom and Dad

Mark Regnerus

Michael Cook
The UK government has decided that it will allow the creation of three-parent embryos to prevent the births of children with mitochondrial diseases.

The Erasure of the Elderly and Its Horrible Consequences

Shenan J. Boquet
Ultimately, a society is only as strong as the bonds that unite people to one another. In the past, it was common for the elderly to spend the final years of their lives in the homes of one of their children, where they would be surrounded by the liveliness and joy of their grandchildren. As the family has disintegrated, and as our lives have become busier and busier, this situation has become rarer and rarer. It is up to us to rebuild those social bonds, by making concrete choices that prioritize the dignity of persons over every other consideration.

The world's median age by continent

Marcus Roberts
This shows how different Africa is to the rest of the world - it is so much younger than everywhere else. Indeed, by the year 2100 it is estimated that half of all infants in the world (those 4 years old and younger) will be African (the proportion is currently at about a quarter).
