Pope Francis Called Abortion the "Slaughter" of Innocent Babies
He likened the act to murder, emphasizing the innocence of the unborn and described the killing of babies in abortions as a "slaughter." Pope Francis: "Defend the Unborn Against Abortion"
I learned that, as a Cardinal in Argentina, he was quoted as saying, "Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you." Strong words from a man who valued the sacredness of life from the moment of conception to the instant of natural death. The late Holy Father was a champion of the marginalized - and no one is more marginalized in our society than the unborn child. Tim Walz Signed a Law Allowing Infanticide, Letting Babies Die Who Survive Abortions
Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) is backing under Minnesota law legislation to restore protection for born-alive infants, including those who survive abortion and those with disabilities. But many people find it hard to believe that protection was ever lost in the first place. Death as the Way to Life
No longer is death for us the shadow darkening the world; or the end of our ambitions and our loves. No longer may we use it as a threat or a solution. We look to our own dying, not as an abridgement but as a consummation, not as a boundary, but as a passage; not as the end, but as the way to life. Two AI's Debated about Abortion: Here's What Happened
Dr. Choice opened the debate with a surprising admission: It is a scientific fact, the AI model stated, that life begins at conception. However, Dr. Choice continued, the fetus, despite being alive, is not officially a person at the early stages of pregnancy. ... Dr. Life's response to Dr. Choice's contentions was nothing short of beautiful. The Amazing Design of Our Bodies - Samantha Kelley
Samantha Kelley, founder of Fierce Athlete, reminds us about the beautiful design of our bodies made as male or female and how we're unique in the eyes of God. Abortion Pill Used to Kill 26-Week-Old Unborn Baby
Right To Life UK is calling for an immediate end to the 'pills by post' at-home abortion scheme, after a jury was told that one of the UK's largest abortion providers, MSI Reproductive Choices (previously Marie Stopes) supplied pills through this scheme, which the jury heard were used to end the life of an unborn baby through an abortion at 26 weeks gestation. Slovakia's PM warns of 'extremely high' levels of DNA contamination in mRNA Covid shots
Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico warns the mRNA Covid vaccines contain "extremely high levels of DNA" and is calling for further investigation, after an expert report published last month found residual DNA in Slovakia-sourced vials of both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines at up to 100 times higher than the regulatory limit. Study: Suicide risk increases with loneliness and depression.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on March 26, 2025 looked at 3,764,279 Korean adults who are living alone. The study found that depression or anxiety was associated with a significantly higher risk of suicide, particularly among middle-aged individuals (aged 40 to 64 years) and men. The Eucharist and the Preborn Child
As pro-life people, we know that the preborn child is truly present within his mother's body from the first cell onward. There is no point throughout a woman's pregnancy when a child is not really and truly present.

Poet Warsan Shire hit a nerve with she composed this stanza in her poem "Home"...
No one leaves home unless / home is the mouth of a shark.
You only run for the border / when you see the whole city / running as well, and
no one puts their children in a boat / unless the water is safer than the land.
Today, we are facing a global refugee crisis. In mid-2024, the refugee population reached 43.7 million. In addition to this number, there were 72.1 million internally displaced people and 8 million asylum seekers, leaving a total estimate of 122.6 million people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes.

The government's role, as well as all social institutions, is directed toward both serving and assisting each human person and the family to fulfill their vocation. It is to assist parents in their role and duties, providing reasonable aid, and never in any way to limit the freedom of couples in deciding about their children - who with love for their children know what is best for them. This implies that parents should have the individual autonomy to raise their children outside of government control. Michael F. Burbidge
In the past decade our culture has seen growing acceptance of transgender ideology - that is, the claim that a person's biological sex and personal identity have no necessary connection and could in fact contradict each other. According to this view, "human identity" is self-defined and "becomes the choice of the individual." Consequently, our culture is experiencing a rapid rise in the number of persons claiming an identity contrary to their biological sex. Attempts to accommodate such claims already have resulted in tremendous upheavals in our social, legal, and medical systems. This situation presents a serious challenge for all members of the Church because it presents a view of the human person contrary to the truth. John F. Doherty
Many religious people lament that the contemporary world has hidden God from their sight. But what if that spiritual darkness is precisely where God is waiting for us? Anthony Jose Sirven
If Congress were to pass laws endorsing, protecting, or expanding access to IVF, it would, to my knowledge, be the first time federal law has spoken on the nature of prenatal personhood - at least since Roe. And like Roe, it would once more require us all to accept the premise that unborn (and even certain classes of born) children are not "persons in the whole sense": a sharp turn in the wrong direction. Douglas McManaman
What is so important about Holy Thursday night is the explicit connection between the institution of the Eucharist and a life of service, that is, the link between the sacrament and works of mercy, works of charity, which includes the commitment to social justice in all its forms. An ardent love of the Eucharist and relative indifference to those who suffer is a love that is essentially a farce.

The pressing need to convince a broken world that human persons have a right to be respected from the beginning of their existence grows more serious with the passing of each day. All one needs to do is read the silly remarks of pro-abort leaders claiming that they speak for all Americans who, they say, are totally opposed to protecting innocent children prior to birth. Dianne N. Irving
The bottom line is that there is absolutely no question whatsoever as to when human beings begin to exist, and that arguments for delayed personhood can neither be scientifically nor philosophically defended successfully. To legally deny the youngest of new living innocent human beings their inherent right to life is unquestionably an obvious and odious violation of their civil rights, and it is about time that all involved in these debates be held to accountability.

Since the beginning of the year, headlines have touted advancements in prenatal testing for unborn children with Down syndrome. But what is less reported in the coverage on the new testing is its likely impact. Already, existing prenatal testing is followed by high termination rates, exceeding 70 percent in California, and 90 percent in England and Europe. At this high percentage, it is more accurate to call it an "elimination rate." With each advance in prenatal testing, the next generation of children born with Down syndrome is smaller, so much so that there are close to 50 percent fewer children born with Down syndrome than if all were carried to term.

"Now wait a minute. Why did I come here? Let me think." Have you ever gone somewhere, to another room or to another place and have forgotten why you came to where you are? Perhaps, you are following some ingrained routine and are so preoccupied with something that you lose your way. More than likely this happens when we are "busy" or so we say. So busy that the days of our lives sift through our fingers like sand. Wesley J. Smith
The opportunities for developing successful therapies from stem cells that do not require the destruction of human embryos should be very big news. But where are the headlines? Tom Bartolomeo
Men, what divorced or single mother's boy in your extended family needs the companionship of a man? And ladies, what girl? What boy or girl in the Big Brother Big Sister's program needs an adult mentor to spend afternoons with? You will find a Big Brothers Big Sister office in Rockford on Y Boulevard. My young boy at Big Brothers would stare at the door waiting for me, his mother told me, until I arrived. In three weeks we were fast friends. Without healthy Catholic normalcy in their lives besides their mothers your niece, nephew, or neighbor's child will, statistically speaking, fail at marriage themselves or avoid marriage and cohabitation without first encountering a positive adult man or woman' leadership. Would you want a New Year's Resolution which may save a child's life? I have just given you a great one. Douglas McManaman
Identity politics involves, among other things, a categorical error; it confuses moral categories with categories that are entirely outside the moral domain. A nation is a moral agent as is an individual person, but "Caucasian" is not, nor is female, male, Hispanic, etc. To even feel one has to pay a black teenager double the price one would pay a white teenager for mowing one's lawn, in order to do one's part in making restitution for the sufferings of black people in the past, is to experience a false sense of responsibility.
