The Surprisingly Controversial IVF Alternative Dividing Washington
Even as support for IVF has grown in the GOP, there are still concerns, particularly among pro-lifers, about its cavalier treatment of human embryos, up to a million of which are on ice at this very moment.

It Happened Again: Man Used Gym's Trans-Friendly Locker Room Policies to Secretly Film Women
The Left has spent years telling women two contradictory things: 1) all men are rapists, so trust your gut instincts and avoid them at all costs, and 2) you must let men who say they're women into your locker rooms, lest we label you a bigot. Those same Leftists insist that men would never abuse their laissez-faire locker room policies, and that only 'trans women' would access private spaces, because they're really women. Now we have a case file of men cosplaying as women who have used these lax policies to abuse women.

Does Humanity Have a Future?

The nuclear family is considered the "traditional" family. The nuclear family consists of a mother, father, and their biological children.

New! The Moral Truth About IVF and Surrogacy

Shenan J. Boquet
Earlier this summer, authorities raided a mansion in Arcadia, California. There they found 21 children, almost all of whom were born through surrogacy. Police say the case began in May, when a two-month-old infant was hospitalized with severe head injuries.
