School Districts Stonewalling Parents Despite SCOTUS Rulings

If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood? Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital

The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life. Afghanistan: 3.7 million children under five at risk of malnutrion
A new UNICEF report warns that 3.7 million Afghan children under the age of five are at risk of malnutrition, urging urgent investment in preventive nutrition measures before the country's annual peak hunger season. Want More Babies? We Need More Friends
The American birthrate has fallen below 1.6 children per woman. Replacement fertility requires about 2.1. The United States is now in its third extended period of below-replacement fertility, after the Great Depression years and a stretch from 1972 to 1989. The current period, though, has lasted longer and fallen lower than either of the previous two. When the year 2000 arrived, we came in about a billion short. I Lived as a Woman for 8 Years. Being 'Transgender' Is a Fantasy
Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one's sexual identity, either XX (female) or XY (male). Cross-sex hormones and surgery cannot change intrinsic sex. The Media Eagerly Take the Wrong Side of the Facts on Girls Sports
Journalists love to boast that they are "Facts First" people, that they are the brave souls seeking out 'truth.' But when it comes to transgenderism, facts go out the window, and truth is triggering.

Imagine a young married couple. They have dreamed of having children since the day they were married. Month after month they hope, pray, and wait?but nothing happens. Eventually, their doctor suggests in vitro fertilization (IVF). Friends encourage them to try it. Social media is full of happy stories about babies born through IVF. It seems like the obvious answer.
In recent decades, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become one of the most widely accepted ways for couples struggling with infertility to have children. Millions celebrate IVF as a scientific miracle that fulfills the dream of parenthood. The pain of infertility is real, and every couple who longs for a child deserves compassion, understanding, and support. However, compassion should never prevent us from asking an important moral question: Does every technological possibility respect the dignity of human life?
From a Catholic perspective, the answer is not simply whether IVF works, but whether it respects God's plan for human life and the dignity of every child. Two serious concerns arise. First, IVF attempts to replace God's design for the beginning of human life. Second, it risks treating unborn babies as products that can be created, selected, bought, sold, or discarded according to human preferences.

It is in accepting the poor and the wretched refuse that the greatness and promise of America are to be found. Christopher O. Tollefsen
There is no guarantee that the bioethics of our future will live up to America's founding promises and insights. Those of us concerned that such a bioethics should exist must, as Lincoln said in honoring the dead of Gettysburg, "be dedicated to the unfinished work" of creating, sustaining, and defending that bioethics. It will be no small task, but I hope to have given some sense of what the shape of that task must be. Siobhan Heekin-Canedy
Perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from the Olympian mothers is that women are more than their bodies, and that we are all called to integrated human excellence, body and soul. Mark Bauerlein
What counts as serious? At what point does difficulty signal a disability? Much of that is up to the disabled one, whose lived experience is decisive. Judie Brown
Life is indeed in God's mind sacred from conception, and as it is a unique act of creation of a new person, God alone is the final author of how conception is to take place for those who read, believe and care deeply for the word of God.

Children's relationship to the political community is fundamentally different from that of adults, because it is mediated through their belonging to a family and living under the authority of their parents. John Stonestreet
So, says Anderson, instead of being about equal rights, "ENDA creates special rights for transgendered individuals - males who dress and act as females, and females who dress and act as males - and forbids employers from considering the consequences of such behavior in the workplace."

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. Anthony Zimmerman
This letter takes issue with opponents who do not support restrictive legislation on abortion, who take an "all or none" attitude.

The economic crisis caused by Myanmar's civil war is a humanitarian catastrophe, fuelling hunger, desperation - and the sale of human organs. Alexis Heng

A phenomenon is emerging where prospective adoptive parents are getting involved in the lives of the birth mother and their hoped-for child earlier and earlier. Shannon Roberts
It is interesting that, once a child is born, family law principles all seem to boil down to "the well-being of the child". At least in theory. Yet, before birth, in conceiving children, society seems to place so much more weight on the adult's 'right' to that child at any cost or 'right' to be happy than on a child's well-being and natural need to have a stable family unit to fall back on.

News reports tell us that religiosity has plummeted among US residents over the last 10 years. Pollsters usually miss the mark, but in this case they missed the truth.
