Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"

EPPC looked at more than 865,000 insurance claims of actual mifepristone patients and determined that the serious adverse events rate was closer to 11%! Just war doctrine and the duties of soldiers
What of the servicemen who have to fight in the wars their governments decide to wage? Do they have an obligation to make a moral judgment about these wars in light of just war criteria? The Parental Rights Paradox
"Teachers, counselors, doctors, and social workers all play valuable roles in children's lives. But they are not parents. They lack the lifelong attachment and responsibility that anchor parental authority. For that reason, American law traditionally resisted allowing outsiders to direct a child's upbringing. The presumption has long been that parents, not institutions, should guide a child's development." How Trans Ideology Demolishes Itself
Insights from the Paradox Institute's Cynthia Breheny: "Proponents of trans ideology will go so far as to claim that acknowledging sex is an erasure of someone's trans identity -- even saying something along the lines of acknowledging sex erases their very personhood. And that's where the primary contradiction of trans ideology lies: in order for it to be a groundbreaking revelation about humanity, it has to have ground to stand on - it has to rely on sex." New: IOC Policy Protects Female Sports
On Thursday, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a new policy to protect the female (women's) category in Olympic sports. Eligibility for female sports will now be determined by a genetic test for the presence of the SRY gene, which triggers male sexual development and cannot change. The IOC policy is likely to have downstream positive effects on international federations and sports governing bodies. However, past Olympic medals awarded to males competing in female sports will not be rescinded. Americans Oppose Mail-Order Abortions That Kill Millions of Babies

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby's heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies we see around us. That is why, for decades, we have been bombarded with messages seeking to downplay the fact that abortion kills a human being. Mark Powell

A critique of UK political commentator Matthew Parris challenges his reading of Christ and assisted-dying advocacy, defending Jesus' teaching on the poor, and warns that secular "solipsism" undermines compassion, dignity, and the sanctity of life. Susan Ciancio
Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, we have seen anger. We have seen violence. And we have seen the dispersal of all kinds of misinformation - most of it aimed at increasing rage, stirring up indignation, and causing confusion. One of the pieces of misinformation that continues to spread pertains to ectopic pregnancies. Judie Brown
Everyone deserves to know the truth about what it means to die. But more importantly, each of us should be aware of what others might do to rob us or our loved ones of each moment that God has planned for us during this life.

On July 4, 1995, Myrna Lebov, age 52, committed suicide in her Manhattan apartment. The case generated national headlines when her husband, George Delury, announced that he had assisted Lebov's suicide at her request because she was suffering the debilitations of progressive multiple sclerosis. Delury became an instant celebrity. He was acclaimed as a dedicated husband willing to risk jail to help his beloved wife achieve her desired end. The assisted-suicide movement set up a defense fund and renewed calls for legalization. Delury made numerous television appearances and was invited to speak to a convention of the American Psychiatric Association. He signed a deal for a book, later published under the title But What If She Wants to Die? Delury soon copped a plea to attempted manslaughter and served a few months in jail. Holly Taylor Coolman
Welcoming children surely is a great responsibility; no one can know ahead of time the challenges and joys that are waiting for them. But perhaps the greatest surprise is that every decision and every parenting strategy will find its true home in realities that, blessedly, far exceed them. John Stonestreet

Credibility is a prerequisite for any successful truth seeking process. Earning credibility involves independence, transparency, trustworthiness, competence, sensitivity and rationality. However, both the commissions lack most of these qualities.

It is no wonder, given the disheartening versions of abortion narratives of the early twentieth century, that Simone de Beauvoir and American abortion activists like Betty Friedan found such a fertile population in which to grow their life-denying version of feminism. Fortunately, both current research and the subsequent waves of pro-life researchers can develop the corpus of anti- and pro-life fiction to an even higher degree so that, besides enjoying the works as literature, society can learn from the mistakes of fictional characters in the past to protect and improve human life in the future.

For social progressives, the sexual revolution was one of the greatest achievements in the history of the human race. At long last (the sexual revolutionaries proclaim), sexuality could be enjoyed outside of the framework of the old-fashion religious beliefs that had done nothing but induced crippling guilt and robbed generations of the pleasures of sexuality.
