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?'."

Mifepristone as a Public Health 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.

Selling Motherhood: Why Commercial Surrogacy Echoes Trafficking

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wireless Birth Control Is No Fantasy

Judie Brown
It seems that organizations are so anxious to provide birth control to women that they are even willing to now use microchips implanted in the human body to dispense it. It may sound crazy or futuristic, but it may become reality. Imagine the implications of doling out a hormone with just a remote control.

Short Commentary on Matthew, No. 31

Anthony Zimmerman
The centurion was a Roman commander of a hundred foot soldiers stationed in Capernaum, the metropolis of the area. One would expect that the Jews would be hostile to these occupation troops and especially to their commander, but such is not the case in this event.

"Analysis: California's Current Cloning Law Allows Both 'Therapeutic' and 'Reproductive' Cloning; Sets Up Arbitrary Regulatory Committee"

Dianne N. Irving
While many are frantically trying to figure out how to block the passage of Proposition 71 in California, most are unaware that human cloning is already legal in the state. All Proposition 71 would do is allow the citizens of the state to pay for it. ... Although the California Cloning Law appears to allow only "therapeutic" cloning, a closer examination reveals that it also allows "reproductive" cloning as well because of the massive "scientific" and "legal" loopholes used.

Comments: CRTL Acknowledges Irving's Scientific, Moral and Legal Arguments on "Personhood"

Dianne N. Irving
It would seem that CRTL is quite graciously agreeing with the scientific and moral points that I have provided, and changing the language of their "Personhood Amendment 48" to reflect both sexually and asexually reproduced human beings (see their Press Release below). Their only remaining disagreement, i.e., over my use of the term "exclusionary" when they refer to their term "including", is, I think, still debatable -- legal advice given to me is that it would be better and far safer legally to use the more inclusive phrase, "including but not limited to". Even better to use the far safer inclusive phrase "whether sexually or asexually reproduced".

Parental Advisory Notice on 13RW: Why Not To Watch

Frank J. Moncher
Much has been written over the past several weeks about the Netflix mini-series 13 Reasons Why. The series tells the story of a fictional adolescent who committed suicide and left audio tapes to 13 people in her life describing their alleged role in her decision to take her life. I concur with the recommendations that viewing of this series be avoided by all youth (and many adults as well)."

The UK's absurd "wrongful births"

Philippa Taylor
The government is shelling out millions to pay for "failed contraception" and "failed sterilizations".

U.S.A. -- Human Cloning As Source of 'Non-Federally Approved' Human Embryonic 'Stem Cell Lines'

Dianne N. Irving
Now that so much false science has been concretized in many stateand federal laws and regulations, as well as in reports by such prestigious advisory bodies as the National Academy of Sciences, we now have included in the definition of stem cells those derived from cloned human embryos. Regardless of their source, all stem cells are now simply lumped together under the protective umbrella of stem cell research based on fairy tale science. The result is that in both federally and privately funded research, real live human cloning is being slipped through the radar using the brave new rhetoric of stem cell research .

United in Opposing People

Steven Mosher
Driven by a population control agenda, running roughshod over the rights of sovereign states, the UN seems increasingly out of control.

Let Us Have Gratitude

Judie Brown
In the throes of struggling against the forces of godlessness in our daily efforts, we often forget to be grateful for blessings. It is challenging to feel compassion for women poisoning themselves by the ingestion of abortion pills when we realize that these very women are literally rejecting the children growing within their bodies.

Demands for Certainty Are Not Always Reasonable

Douglas McManaman
We have a great deal of clarity in the Church when it comes to certain theological and moral questions, but pastoral questions bearing upon individual persons are full of ambiguity, unlike general moral questions like abortion or euthanasia.
