A Canadian 'human rights' tribunal just exposed the Orwellian strategy of the transgender movement--it seeks to weaponize "empathy" to demand allegiance to the absurd and dangerous idea that men can become women and vice versa.

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.

Netherlands Allows Euthanizing Newborn Babies, Canada Could be Next
The question before us is not merely about alleviating suffering, expanding choice, or any other rationale used to end the lives of those who require protection; it is first and foremost about moral principles. If human dignity is deemed unimportant, conditional, or dependent on cognitive ability, independence, or perceived quality of life, then no one is truly safe. Once we deny some human beings their status as moral persons, legal protections inevitably erode for everyone. More Headlines…

Editorial
Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

When all is said and done, God has designed the procreative acts of parents as the best and most ethical way to bring children into the world. For those who are unable to conceive on their own, there are alternatives that do not include accepting babies created in petri dishes, filtered for flaws and discarded like trash. Joshua Arnold
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons breaks ranks, urging gender transition surgeries for minors be delayed amid low-quality evidence, ethical concerns, and growing recognition of irreversible harms. Douglas McManaman
The developmentally disabled are not productive in the way we typically employ that word, but what these people do, whether we are talking about Alzheimer's patients, or Down Syndrome children, developmentally disabled people, etc., is they provide us with the opportunity to love them for their own sake, to learn to love human beings for their sake alone, not for the sake of what they can do for me or for society at large. Jay W. Richards
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.

The issue of homosexuality and the moral evaluation of homosexual acts have increasingly become a matter of public debate, even in Catholic circles. Since this debate often advances arguments and makes assertions inconsistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church, it is quite rightly a cause for concern to all engaged in the pastoral ministry, and this Congregation has judged it to be of sufficiently grave and widespread importance to address to the Bishops of the Catholic Church this Letter on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons. C. Ward Kischer
...Where has respect for the recognition of human life gone? What will it take to get the O'Reillys, the Hatchs, the Hendrixs, the Baltimores, the Turleys, and the Sunsteins, to recognize the long established objective scientific facts of Human Embryology? These are the people who are refractive to the truth, and they do not bother to consult the basics of scientific truth, which have been and are readily available. The only conclusion we can draw is that they prefer to insult the collective intelligence of science by elevating political correctness over and above the objective truth. But, sooner or later such political correctness will backfire - on all of us. Asia Human Rights
On International Human Rights Day, the Asian Federation against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAD), the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), and Odhikar pay tribute to and stand in solidarity with the victims and survivors of human rights violations. Tom Bartolomeo
We have all heard as Catholics that we are made of bodies and souls, but unless we expend some significant effort and time in caring for our souls then our souls become orphans. Between the two, body and soul, without some concerted effort the body will always have its way. Frank J. Moncher
All of us turn to doctors in our most weak and vulnerable moments, and we trust them first and foremost to do no harm. Yet, a glimpse at statistics coming out of northern Europe reveals that, where it is permitted, euthanasia is growing, accounting for as many as 3-4% of deaths in some countries, a rate 2-3 times higher than only a decade ago. S.A. McCarthy
An explosive new report challenges official data, showing that real-world use of the abortion drug mifepristone leads to serious complications in more than 10% of cases. Margaret Somerville
I was asked to comment on Dr Henry Morgentaler's death on both radio and television and to write a comment article by the Ottawa Citizen. I refused all of these requests on the grounds that I believe in the adage "One should not speak ill of the dead." But many others, whose views of Morgentaler ranged from seeing him as a Canadian hero to labelling him as evil personified, were not so reticent. So, what might their reactions tell us about current Canadian culture and values? Kurt Mahlburg
In a moment made for television, President Donald Trump has spectacularly confronted the South African President over his nation's official narrative on race-based farm attacks. Judie Brown
This past year has seen race relations decline as a result of a well-orchestrated attempt by a corrupt government that wants to divide us at all costs. And the propaganda peddlers known as the news media are making it more obvious than ever that they get most of their talking points from the Obama administration.
