Nazis Euthanized Disabled Children, Now the Netherlands is Doing It
The report justifies the killing based on the child being born prematurely and having significant disabilities. But the child had lived approximately 2-years-old, meaning, that the killing was actually based on the disabilities since the child had survived two years since birth. Haiti: Child malnutrition crisis worsens amid escalating violence

What happened to us? How did our natural instinct to rage against the dying of the light, and with it, humane treatment of the vulnerable, slip away? What are we aspiring to? Who's setting the bar? The Problem with Offering Abortion First
In the waiting room, she kept her eyes fixed on her lap. No one knew she was here: not her mom, not her dad, not her best friends. Only her boyfriend, who was splitting the cost with her. ... "As scars heal, the inflammation will slowly fade, but we retain the mark for the rest of our lives," my mother tells me. "Not of shame, but of regret for the unfixable, unchangeable decision made out of fear." With Pro-Abortion Speech Law, New Jersey's War on Women Continues
According to the Catholic News Agency, the bill will implement a sort of "bubble" zone around reproductive health centers.

Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...

Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another. Ronald Rolheiser
Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.

Today, despite the progressive emphasis on a multiplicity of 'communities', there is less community feeling than ever before. If not for this progressive policy of 'divide and rule', our own times might be just as neighbourly as in the past, when we were encouraged to prize what we had in common rather than dwelling on our differences. Shenan J. Boquet
The new law permits an adult to request death if he or she is a French citizen or stable legal resident, suffers from a serious and incurable illness that is advanced and life-threatening, experiences physical or psychological suffering deemed unbearable or resistant to treatment, and is judged capable of making a free and informed decision. Lori Hadacek Chaplin
Understanding that both the suffering and their caregivers experience loneliness and isolation, a new Catholic ministry called The Peace in the Storm Project aims to accompany them both to help foster faith, fellowship, and peace. The project, founded in 2023 by Catholic author Maureen Pratt, is available to dioceses, parishes, and individuals.

If the following research announcement is true and accurate, then it is very good news. ... This would mean that it is not necessary to clone a sick patient's cell, thereby reproducting a new human embryo, allow it to develop to the blastocyst stage, and then kill it. No embryo is ever involved. Isn't it interesting what an intellectually honest scientist can accomplish?

We must pray for President Biden, who is approaching the final years of his life, that he may yet learn to use his enormous power to protect, rather than to attack life and family, thereby undoing some of the great harm he has caused throughout his long political career. Judith Reisman
Sex therapists and pornographers have long prescribed pornography to correct male impotence and to "spice up" a couple's sex life. However, the broader meaning of "potency" is "power, authority … a person or thing exerting power or influence." The proper contextual definition of modern impotence, then, is not the narrow classification of "erectile dysfunction." Carolyn Moynihan
And how a big wedding can give your marriage a real boost. Barbara Kralis
Wars produce slaves used by the triumphant forces, who often sexually abuse women and children taken from ravished war-torn villages. The U.S. State Department reports that adult and child males in defeated villages may be turned into forced laborers or soldiers, even pushed to commit atrocities against their own families and communities. Their communities often reject returning child soldiers. Sheila Liaugmina
It is unimaginabke that a Christian mother of five has spent seven years in prison in Pakistan on a blasphemy charge for taking water from a well on a hot day of field labor. As a Christian and therefore considered an 'infidel' unworthy of taking that water. Michael Cook
It is absurdly exaggerated to claim, as the President did in his speech, that "today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people". It was certainly a testament to the skill of the American military. But surely greatness is more than nailing a fugitive. Genuine greatness of spirit lies in following up victory with magnanimity and wisdom. Michael Cook
The evidence that teenagers with gender dysphoria are suffering from mental illness is overwhelming. Yet instead of psychiatric help, the report recommends acceptance by parents, schools, doctors, universities and government agencies. It encourages the children's peers to respect chosen pronouns and names. William E. May
Here I intend to present the Bishops' teaching in Part Two of the Pastoral Letter, which they call "Marriage in the Order of the New Creation: The Sacrament of Marriage" from the perspective of a husband, father, and grandfather. I want to do so because I have now been married more than fifty-one years to a wonderful, loving wife, and God has blessed us with seven loving children, four boys and three girls. Six of them are now married to great daughters- and sons-in-law whom God has blessed with fifteen children and in doing so has blessed us with fifteen grandchildren, ten girls and five boys ranging in age from twenty to seven months. I think this puts me into a position to appreciate the message our Bishops want to communicate in this fine document.
