With Abortion Pills, The Abortion Clinic Has Moved Into the Home
For most of the modern abortion debate, we could focus on a physical location. There was a clinic. There was a doctor. There were protesters outside and counselors nearby. Legislatures debated how those facilities should be regulated, courts debated what restrictions states could impose, and the pro-life movement organized much of its work around the places where abortions occurred. Increasingly, abortion doesn't take place in a designated space. It happens at home. Canadian Doctors Promote Plan to Euthanize Newborn Babies
A Quebec physicians' group is again promoting euthanasia for newborn babies, saying euthanasia can be an "appropriate treatment" for infants with severe disabilities or malformations even though Canadian law still forbids the practice and a baby cannot consent. 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.

Editorial
Through the Eyes of a Missionary Priest Working in Japan: Working in pro-life ministry for over 40 years as a Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate has given me the opportunity to meet people at almost every stage of life. I have shared the happiness of families welcoming a new baby. I have spent time with young people at Kochi University trying to figure out who they are and where their lives are going. During my many pro-life trips throughout Asia, I have visited people in hospitals, listened to those going through difficult times, and prayed with people nearing the end of their lives. All of these experiences have taught me something very simple but very important: human life is beautiful, and human life is sacred.
I think we sometimes forget this, especially in a world that is constantly telling us what a "successful" life should look like. We see it on social media, where everyone seems happy, attractive, and successful. Young people can begin to feel that their grades measure how intelligent they are, that getting the right job will determine whether they succeed in life, or even that the number of followers and "likes" they receive says something about their worth. Without realizing it, we can begin to feel that we have to prove ourselves. But our value as human beings does not depend on our grades, our appearance, our career, our popularity, or what other people think of us.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Steven Mosher Monty Patterson loved being a dad with his whole heart. So when a nurse called to tell him that his 18-year-old daughter, Holly, was in the ICU, he dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. That day quickly became the worst of his life. Glenn Stanton Pride Month 2026 marked the date on which two of its groundbreaking leaders publicly confessed their movement's ungovernable anthropological problem. Shenan J. Boquet On Wednesday, August 12, a baby boy was born three weeks early in a hospital near Dallas. This is hardly an unusual event. However, that this particular child was born was a near miracle. Baby Gabriel had been the target of a conspiracy against his life that nearly resulted in his destruction, and which has drawn international scrutiny of one of the darkest, and least-talked-about aspects of the surrogacy industry. David C. Reardon Using a topic-blind survey distributed to a national random sample of women, the researchers examined women's reproductive histories, abortion decision types, pre-abortion risk factors, and negative outcomes women attributed to their abortions. Among respondents, 22.6% reported a history of abortion, a rate that closely matches the Guttmacher Institute's national estimate. Nancy Valko Personally, I am not against all organ donation. In the past, I have offered to be a living donor for a friend who needed a kidney, watched my grandson cured of a rare disease through a bone marrow transplant and told my family that I wanted to donate my corneas and any other tissues that can be taken after natural death. I am open to new facts but, until then, I refuse an apnea test or any other test to specifically determine brain death if I have a severe brain injury.
Proclaim Sermons Many self-proclaimed prophets have predicted the end of the world and the date of the Second Coming. But that's a fool's game. The job of Christians is to watch with Christ and respond to the wounds and needs of people, trusting that we can leave the ultimate fate of the world to our loving God. Judie Brown A "perfect" person with no flaws, no illnesses, super strength, and a long life. Sound great in theory, doesn't it? Who wouldn't want to eradicate suffering and loss? But think of the cost and the different kind of loss that would result. With these "superhuman" characteristics come the loss of free will, the loss of our uniqueness, and the loss of what makes us human. God has created us in His image and likeness. If we strip ourselves of that and become essentially robots, where will that leave us? More importantly, where will that leave our souls? Douglas McManaman Synopsis: Hell is one of the greatest signs of God's love for us: He loves us so much, that He will allow us to reject Him for all eternity.
Ana Maria Dumitru As long as complicit bystanders refrain from voicing dissent, embryo destruction will continue to masquerade as a practical, commonplace business, rather than the social cancer it truly is. Kurt Mahlburg It is a understatement to observe that the Biden administration's moral compass is broken beyond repair. Martha Shuping The existence of a growing abortion recovery movement, with thousands of support groups and programs from which to choose, testifies to the need women have to grieve for their loss while offering true hope that healing can take place. Only in vacant policy debates and politically sanitized clinical studies do abortion's effects on women seem minor and unworthy of recognition. The real voices of many women tell far different stories - stories of life-altering experiences marked by a profound sense of loss and the need for spiritual and emotional repair. Maria put it this way, "The day that my baby died I realized that I had died, too." She is not alone. Maria and many others like her deserve our acknowledgment, our help and our love. Margaret Somerville A controversial article linking autism with vaccinations continues to do immense damage. Marcus Roberts January sees another unwanted demographics milestone. Dot McGinnis There are many temptations that plague us, as Christians, because we live in the permissive society that we do. Sexual sins like fornication, adultery, and homosexuality are some of the ones that are most prevalent. John Stonestreet Anyone who wants to truly communicate the horror of killing needs to do more than cite statistics. They have to tell stories.
