Canada's MAID Program Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People

Fresh research highlights the strong links between active Christian faith, marital happiness, sexual satisfaction, family stability and the formation of future generations. Called to Be Counter-Cultural
The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy. UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop." The Moral Problem With IVF: Human Beings Aren't Property
In-Vitro Fertilization has created a moral crisis. There are now as many as 1.5 million frozen embryos in the U.S. alone. Many of these will remain frozen or simply tossed out.

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.

This article is a continuation of Pregnancy-Related Death of African Women (I) which concentrated on Background and Risk Factors. This article summarizes hospital and community based studies of pregnancy-related deaths of African women in several countries. It also includes a description of the abortion methods used, if described in the article, as well as the identity of those performing the abortion. Demographic data on the background of women who obtain induced abortions as well as who dies from pregnancy-related causes is also included. Although the studies have some important limitations, they also provide valuable insights of the various reasons why African women die from abortion and childbirth. Xavier Symons
Scientists have moved closer to growing human organs in animals, with US researchers reporting that they have successfully created human-pig chimera embryos Michael Cook
The keenness of British journalists to score exclusives and to run down the last details of stories are legendary - or at least they are now, after the News of the World phone hacking scandal. Asia Human Rights
The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) once again draws the attention of the Human Rights Council and the Special Procedures to the massive arbitrary detention occurring in Bangladesh. Tom Bartolomeo
The seat of either virtue or vice resides not in the visible body but in the secret chambers of a person's heart, in his mind and free will. Invisible festering anger, Jesus taught, leads to murder or it brings 'death by a thousand cuts' especially to the one who harbors anger. Adultery, Jesus taught, infects first the heart, one of the deadliest of sins affecting both husband and wife and their relationship with their children. Today that would include contraception and abortion. Destroy God's gift of life in our bodies and destroy his gift of love in a heart growing cold. Proclaim Sermons
Philip and Andrew bring a group of Greeks who have requested to see Jesus. Jesus takes this opportunity to continue teaching the disciples and us about his death and resurrection, and about our need to remain faithful followers. We need to be continually expanding our vision of Christ, so we do not stagnate in our faith.

The only problem is who is going to decide precisely where the sexual guardrails are to be installed? Who is going to provide the standard of moderation, restraint, and respect when it comes to sexual matters? Why should anyone restrain themselves according to Brandan's criterion? Perhaps moving the guardrails do not go far enough. Perhaps they should be removed altogether, especially if one's personal experience suggests as much. Whose boundaries should we look to? The boundaries Christ drew or the boundaries that Brandan now draws? Brandan expects others who are reasonable to go along with him (Brandan), while Christ expects us to go along with him (Christ). Into which basket are you going to put your eggs? Steven Mosher
Guttmacher claims that the number of induced abortions worldwide declined from nearly 46 million to under 42 million between 1995 and 2003. In actual fact, neither Guttmacher nor anyone else knows how many abortions have been performed worldwide in this year or any other year. Guttmacher's numbers may be reasonably accurate for countries with socialized medicine, like Great Britain, where accurate records are kept. But for other developed countries, like the United States, they are at best educated guesses. Abortion may be legal, but its proponents have kept it deliberately shrouded in secrecy. Steven Mosher
In this space, we often criticize and warn. This time, we will point to some signs of hope and progress, at least in media discourse and people's mentalities, on demographic issues. The crisis of falling birthrates worldwide continues to get more and more attention from pundits and politicians, as does the differentials in birthrates between different demographic groups.
