No, Parents Shouldn't Be Browbeaten into 'Affirming' Their Gender-Dysphoric Children
Rarely does a single journal article capture the full range of intellectual errors committed by pediatric 'gender' activists. A June 2026 'clinical perspective' in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry comes very close. A mere glance at Michal J. McDowell et al.'s 'Using a Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Model to Join Caregivers of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth' is enough to alert the reader that he or she is in strange territory indeed. Children Bring Higher Meaning and Purpose to Life
Conventional wisdom holds that children bring a special kind of existential purpose into the lives of their parents. A Pew survey of 17 countries found that 'family and children' was by far the most commonly selected source of meaning in life, and a survey of Greeks found that 87% of parents marked 'giving meaning to life' as an advantage of having children. Same-sex marriage arguments are now selling polyamory
The old joke that 'whoever said marriage is a 50-50 proposition didn't know the half of it,' takes on a whole new meaning in a culture flirting with 'polyamory.' Within the word, 'poly' means multiple, and 'amor' means love. Thus, polyamory refers to multiple loves, or what has traditionally been called 'open relationships.' Abortion and Euthanasia Wrongly Tell People Death is a Solution
Whatever happened to medicine saving lives? How is it that so many can claim that abortion, the intentional killing of a baby not yet born, constitutes health care? Why is euthanasia, the intentional killing of someone who would otherwise live longer, described as a "hard beauty"? It makes no sense. Not if you still believe what medicine was always supposed to believe: that doctors exist to save lives, not to end them on purpose. Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths are Rising Because of Abortion Pills
Every few months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its 2022 Dobbs decision, another article claims that prolife laws are keeping women from essential medical care, and higher rates of maternal mortality are inevitable. The most recent example is an article in Propublica magazine, which asserted in its title: "Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It's Worse in States With Abortion Bans." Over 50 abortions for every prenatal visit: Why are we funding Planned Parenthood?
Ninety days of conversations. Ninety days of closed-door discussions between members. Ninety days of delay while the largest abortion business in America continues collecting taxpayer money and killing our youngest, most vulnerable citizens. On July 4, 2025, a one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood took effect under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For 12 months, families were no longer forced to underwrite the nation's abortion giant. That protection ended on July 4, 2026, and the funding was restored. In the three months since, Congress has done nothing but talk. Canada Approved Euthanasia for Woman Who Could No Longer Cook for Her Family
A Canadian woman in her 70s was approved for euthanasia after she lost the ability to cook for her family, a role she had prized as the matriarch. New Study Undercuts Messaging of Transgender Ideologues
Studies claiming that the brains of males who identifies as 'transgender women" appear more anatomically similar to female brains than to other males are methodologically very weak and are not supported by the evidence, says a new, peer-reviewed study. Canada's MAID Program Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
Following the death of a beloved grandmother who was killed without her consent through Canada's government-run assisted suicide program, public outcry is building against the 10-year-old scheme that has killed over 100,000 Canadians. Expert Debunks Claim Abortion Bans Led to Higher 'Suicidality' Among Teen Girls
Teen girls are not more likely to consider suicide just because their state bans abortion, contrary the claims of researchers. More Headlines…

Editorial
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...

If America's unity frays, the problem is probably not its diversity, but that America needs its many cultural groups - and perhaps new ones - to contribute more of their special strengths to public life. Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters. Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance. Jordan J. Ballor
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.

A state in northeast India, is currently considering a bill which would impose a two-child limit on all government employees. If an employee will have more than two children while on job, that particular employee will lose his or her job.

Passing a gay marriage law does not end the marriage debate, as the Prime Minister of France is discovering. Francois Hollande's Socialist-led government has had to shelve plans to "update" family law after huge demonstrations in Paris and Lyon on Sunday against any further meddling with marriage and the family, Reuters reports. Brian Clowes
We are being conditioned by force and by media propaganda to accept the idea that transgenderism is here to stay. One of the ways the "trans" rights movement does this is to attempt to show us that we are helpless to stop it by intruding into every facet of our lives and threatening to punish us severely if we do not submit. Anthony Zimmerman
The public acceptance of the idea that families should, have no more than two or three children, and that additional births must be avoided through contraceptives, has also prejudiced Japan's public acceptance of abortion on a grand scale during the past 30 years. The Japanese are not so naive as to think that contraceptives have to work all the time; so they permit abortion as a necessary back-up measure for the anti-birth policy in force.

Sixty-two years ago, a young Italian woman named Edi Bocelli, pregnant with her first child, was hospitalized with appendicitis. Her doctors advised her to abort the child because, they said, "the baby would be born with some disability." A devout Catholic, Edi Bocelli refused, but the doctors' prognosis was correct. Her son Andrea was born with congenital glaucoma and was completely blind by age 12. Judie Brown
Masking the actual intentions of those who promote medical aid in dying becomes very easy in an era when nobody wants to recognize the value in suffering for Christ and with Him. One Catholic writer opines, "Worldly people are miserable when they have crosses, and good Christians are miserable when they have none. The Christian lives in the midst of crosses, as the fish lives in the sea." David C. Reardon
The legalization of abortion has done nothing to advance women's freedom. Given research and anecdotal evidence showing that most abortions are unwanted or coerced, one could argue that abortion makes women less free. William E. May
For years I have been writing articles opposing euthanasia and assisted suicide, grave violations of the inviolable dignity of human bodily persons, whose bodies are integral to their being as human and not spirit persons. Michael Cook
After Rio, it's clear that Christianity is not about to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Judie Brown
The God-given unalienable right to life has been redefined for the purpose of eliminating the Lord Himself and the millions whose development from the first cell onward has been denied.
