Women Should Not Tolerate Porn
Young women today have unrealistically high standards. When I speak to conservative young men about dating, this is something I often hear. ...What that doesn't mean, though, is that young women shouldn't have any standards. Some are very important, particularly when it comes to a man's character. One standard that is valid is not wanting your partner to watch pornography.

Planned Parenthood's Legacy of Eugenics: From Racial Cleansing to Modern-Day Abortion Mills
This weekend marks 110 years since Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control facility in Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. That facility marked the beginning of her movement, but beneath the glossy facade lies a century-long history of eugenics, racism, and systemic killing. Planned Parenthood's modern image coexists with a documented history involving eugenics and well-established efforts to drive genocidal levels of abortion among vulnerable, low-income populations.

Yes, LGBT identity really is in free fall among American teens
What goes up so quickly will eventually come down just as fast. This is precisely what has happened with gay and trans identity among American teens after our national LGBT social acid trip. Gallup has carefully tracked how dramatically LGBT identity shot up for all ages in the U.S. over the last decade or more. It really rocketed in 2020. In 2012, only 3.5% of Americans identified with any of the experimental sex and gender alphabet soup letters. By 2020, 5.6% did. By 2024, it reached an eye-popping 9.3% of Americans."

No, Two Men Failing To Make A Baby Together Is Not 'Infertility'
Sodomy is not infertility. But money and ideology encourage pretending otherwise. For example, a recent piece in the New England Journal of Medicine complained that the World Health Organization's guidelines on infertility aren't inclusive enough because they 'pertain only to heterosexual couples' rather than also encompassing 'LGBTQ+ people, as well as single people.'

How schools are indoctrinating your kids
Parents are growing suspicious. In WhatsApp groups and at school gates, mums and dads worry aloud that teachers are not simply educating pupils but also filling their heads with views they do not share. Some fret about daughters now convinced they are actually boys, or young children taught about sex and relationships before they are ready.

Why Has America's Fertility Rate Dropped to Historic Lows?
With America's and the globe's fertility rate currently sagging to a historic low, a new survey data analysis has found that supportive friends and family, the influence of pro-natal celebrities, and an active religious life are all major contributors to boosting birth rates and helping couples achieve their desired family size."

The UN & Abortion for Kids
The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has once more pressured governments to promote abortion and gender ideology. The committee of experts also adopted a new general comment on access to justice following intense debate over controversial abortion language and threats to parental rights. The General Comment was circulated in draft form last year and immediately faced pushback from the government of Argentina and the Holy See for including a right to 'effective access to safe abortion services for adolescent girls.

Kennedy's HHS Puts Gender Medicine's Biggest Medical Groups On The Clock
For years, America's leading medical and psychological organizations have insisted that so-called 'gender-affirming care' for minors is medically necessary, evidence-based, and even lifesaving. Questioning these claims could get you labeled a bigot, accused of harming children, or professionally ostracized. Now, they are being pressed to put their money where their mouth is.

Palliative medicine and its ethical commitment to care for people
Palliative Care is the ethical commitment of a society that is sensitive to the suffering of its citizens. When medicine has failed to prevent or cure a disease, the physician must commit to caring for and supporting the person suffering from the disease in order to alleviate their suffering. It is then that we must adopt an ethical perspective on ?

Mifepristone in emergency contraception: a new threat to the embryo
A recent meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of low-dose mifepristone as an emergency contraceptive compared to other interventions. Beyond its effectiveness in reducing pregnancy rates, its mechanism of action and ability to interfere with endometrial receptivity has reignited the debate surrounding its bioethical implications and the information women receive about its possible effects.

AI, Faith, and the Future: Becoming the Person God Created You to Be in a Digital World

If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?

As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.

The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! What Can ICE Learn from the Byzantine Migration Enforcement?

Antonio Lemos
To what extent can migration be legitimately regulated and enforced, and under what circumstances may migrants already residing within a country be returned to their place of origin?

New! How Did Disagreement Become So Violent?

James Macpherson
Without a moral authority above ourselves, we risk turning our political convictions into absolute truths -- and our opponents into obstacles to be destroyed.

New! Outcry Grows Over Canada's 100,000 and Counting 'Assistance in Dying'

Dan Hart
A grandmother's disputed death has put Canada's euthanasia regime under fresh scrutiny, as the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program passes 100,000 deaths with a further expansion slated for 2027.

New! Should We Be Worried About Advanced Agentic AI?

Thomas D. Howes
The effort by all the major AI frontier companies to get government assistance in regulating the technology strikes a familiar note. There have always been incentives for top companies in an industry to call for regulations that give them a competitive advantage over upstart companies. Regulatory capture, as it is called, is a real concern. But is that what is going on here?

New! Clear and Present Dangers of AI

Charles T. Rubin
It is genuinely difficult to know how to begin to navigate all of this chatter and adopt a more thoughtful stance on the issues facing us. But Sherry Turkle's latest book is a good place to begin.

The way of the cross: atonement

Tom Bartolomeo
The gospel passage of Jesus' arrest and crucifixion - for his followers before his resurrection - is inconclusive. Jesus' Apostles, disciples and our lives are suspended for days, weeks and years without some direction, meaning and fulfillment. It is the condition of everyone before death.

Irving Weissman Finally Fakes His Way Through Hwang Scandal Interview

Dianne N. Irving
California's Irving Weissman has apparently finally broken his long silence about the Hwang cloning scandal. It is worth mentioning that Weissman is a close colleague of U.S. human cloner Gerald Schatten (Univ. of Pittsburgh), the senior author of Hwang's Science paper now being investigated. Most of these researchers have adopted Weissman's fake "scientific" claims that "therapeutic cloning" is not cloning (just "stem cell research"), and that the immediate product of both fertilization and asexual human reproduction is just "cells" -- not a human organism, a human being. The only "ethics" issues left to discuss are about "eggs", "hope and hype", and "regulation" -- from both sides of the aisles. Nothing about the half-dozen other major international research ethics violations clearly articulated in the Declaration of Helsinki and the Nuremberg Code, about faking scientific data, about injecting potentially millions of vulnerable human patients with dangerous "stem cells", about the massive killing of millions of innocent human beings at the beginning of their lives.

Death: The Definitive Painkiller

Judie Brown
Palliative care was originally understood to be the practice of offering relief and comfort to a suffering or dying patient. But the popular version of this technique is something quite different. Ione Whitlock suggests that today "one is well-advised to be skeptical of a referral to palliative care."

Study show complementarity of men and women's brains

Shannon Roberts
A new brain connectivity study published last week has found that men and women's brains really are wired differently - surely something that is already clear to anyone who lives, works or generally associates with both men and women?

Unsafe at any 'choice'

Tom Bartolomeo
Nothing much man-made achieves perfectly it's intended purpose neither automobiles or contraceptives.

Parental Rights and the Duties of Conscience

R. J. Snell
Children are no small matter. We don't simply have offspring or produce another member of the species, for children are persons endowed with intrinsic and unalienable dignity. To have a child is to become responsible for a being of incalculable value and worth.

If you were a surgeon and someone asked you to perform a surgery that would not heal, would not help, would not make them feel better, and would leave the patient with a permanent wound, would you do it?

Indian women victimized in sterilization camps

Michael Cook
Sterilization of poor Indian women is still a major tool used by state governments to slow population growth. India carries out 37% of the world's female sterilizations - 4.6 million of them last year.

Could there be a better example of the slippery slope at work?

The Primeval Revelation

Anthony Zimmerman
Summary: Our faith teaches that God revealed Himself to our first parents in an intimate manner, and the revelation was not broken off with original sin (CCC 54-55). The hunter-gatherer peoples who from the time of Adam and Eve until about 10,000 years ago celebrated myths that probably echo this primeval revelation, about the Supreme Being, about the moral law, about heaven and hell. The book relates myths collected by anthropologists.
