EU Parliament Says Men Are Women And Anyone Can Get Pregnant
In a stunning 340-to-141 vote, with 68 members abstaining, the parliament of the European Union last Thursday approved a resolution affirming 'the full recognition of trans women as women.' Yes, you read that right. Men are now women according to the EU. Female parliamentarians happily celebrated their own erasure. There was no vote on whether a gender-confused woman is a man." Empathy Disorder: The Key Difference Between Left and Right
A sweeping study suggests the real divide between Left and Right lies not in policy, but in how each orders empathy -- from family and nation to all humanity. Can a Marriage Survive Porn Addiction?

12 Reasons Marco Rubio's Munich Speech Was a Masterpiece
In a bold Munich address, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urges Europe to reject globalism, restore sovereignty, and revive Christian-rooted Western civilisation alongside America's renewal. The Linguistic Collapse of Late-Stage Civilisation
A sharp critique of media language on gender identity, arguing that when words are bent to fit ideology, clarity collapses - and with it, public trust and eventually, civilisation. U.K. Hospital Cuts Off Disabled Patient's Life Support Over Family's Objections
Readers may recall the Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans cases in the U.K., in which National Health Service hospitals took the parents of terminally ill children to court after they refused to acquiesce in doctors' recommendations that life support be ended. Canada is About to Euthanize Patient Number 100,000
Canada is about to kill its 100,000th citizen through Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) this spring. Study Shows Unborn Babies Experience Consciousness
In the ongoing discussions about fetal pain and fetal consciousness, some groups have argued fetuses have no sensory experiences throughout all of pregnancy. They say the neuroinhibitors in fetal blood continually sedate them, so they aren't likely to experience pain (or anything else) until they're born. The Misguided Campaign for "Gender-Affirming" Care
"The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it, and a lie is still a lie even if everybody believes it." - Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Skrmetti Is a Partial Victory for Common Sense
While the efforts of gender ideology and its activists have been subdued due to federal and state legislation and executive orders, the threat still remains. PIP's co-founders Mary Hasson and Theresa Farnan discuss why this is the case in context of a major SCOTUS victory which protects children from sex-rejecting procedures. 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.

Basic decency provides more than enough grounds for Christians to oppose hateful and irrational attacks against Jews and Israel. We should treat these episodes as tests of our courage and discernment, because that's exactly what they are. Judie Brown
We have spent decades working to help our brothers and sisters discern the simple fact that when a man and a woman procreate a child, that human being is as deserving of life as her parents. It seems simple enough, but as we know, rhetorical machinations, false science, and skewed marketing have resulted in a literal bloodbath, taking the lives of millions of preborn babies. Shenan J. Boquet
Human dignity is not measured by its efficiency or usefulness. Life always has value, despite illness, frailty, and limitations. The answer to suffering is not to offer death, but to guarantee forms of social support, continuous health care, and home health care, so that the patient does not feel alone and families can be supported and accompanied. Walt Heyer
A landmark malpractice verdict exposes the harms of so-called "gender-affirming care", vindicating a young woman's justice and accelerating accountability for doctors who medically harm vulnerable children. Nathanael Blake
Forming young men will be a lot easier if we remove the filth that is choking out loving and flourishing complementary relationships between men and women.

A new study is being used to make the claim that allowing conscientious objection to same-sex marriage leads to increased rates of mental health problems in sexual minorities. But is that really what the data show Michael Cook
Much of the jousting over same-sex marriage, same-sex parenting and transgender issues takes place in a fact-free arena. Fortunately, there has been a pushback from academics dismayed by the lack of academic rigour. The consensus is flawed by small-scale studies, badly framed questions and poorly understood data. Tom Bartolomeo
To this day at nearly every funeral service I have conducted I have meet many who are confounded by issues of life and death not grasping Jesus' teaching, "unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (John 12, 24-25) (Italics mine). Where is our treasure: "in this world" or in the world to come . . . without Christ or with Christ? Frank J. Moncher
Thus, the "courage" Jenner showed is not that of classic virtue theory which demands more than merely being fearless or willing to face perceived threats. True courage, can only be found in choices and actions that result in flourishing and the greater good. Steven Mosher
Four months after one camp killed a dozen women, sterilization camp horrors continue Carolyn Moynihan
How good are your children at relating to their grandparents? How would they respond if granny developed Alzheimer's? These questions beg an even bigger one: how will societies with an average of 2 or less children per woman cope with a burgeoning elderly population and a growing worldwide epidemic of dementia? South Korea has come up with answers in a remarkable campaign. Tamara Rajakariar
Women love advising other women when it comes to guys. As a girl, I can vouch for this. And a new app called Lulu is letting women do this even more - but you get to "advise" women that you've never met, regarding guys that they're potentially interested in. What Human Embryo?
Funniest Mental Gymnastics from Medicine and Research
Dianne N. Irving
Such is merely a very small sampling of the fate of the McCormick and Grobstein "pre-embryo" over the last 30 years. Now, instead of human embryos, human individuals, human persons, human beings, human organisms, human cloning and other human genetic engineering, we now have only "pre-embryos" or their "substitutes", "cells", "reconstructed oocytes", "infertility treatments", "near-cloning", "bio-tech inventions", and "human embryonic stem cell research". Some "mental gymnastics" those are! But at what cost?

Unless you live under a rock, you have probably noted the two diametrically opposed events that occurred within the past couple weeks. The first is our hero, Harrison Butker, a Catholic and the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. In 102 words, excerpted below, Butker created a controversy merely because he told the truth. Shenan J. Boquet
While some may see no ethical problem, for many a straight line can be drawn from the ending of a human life in an abortion to a vaccine or drug created using cells derived from the harvesting of the fetal tissue. Even if the cells have been propagated for years in the laboratory far removed from the abortion, that connection line remains. That is why we must look to the Church for an answer to this dilemma.
