Haiti: Child malnutrition crisis worsens amid escalating violence

What happened to us? How did our natural instinct to rage against the dying of the light, and with it, humane treatment of the vulnerable, slip away? What are we aspiring to? Who's setting the bar? The Problem with Offering Abortion First
In the waiting room, she kept her eyes fixed on her lap. No one knew she was here: not her mom, not her dad, not her best friends. Only her boyfriend, who was splitting the cost with her. ...

"Not of shame, but of regret for the unfixable, unchangeable decision made out of fear." With Pro-Abortion Speech Law, New Jersey's War on Women Continues
According to the Catholic News Agency, the bill will implement a sort of "bubble" zone around reproductive health centers.

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.

The Culture of Death takes one giant step forward in Britain. A British judge, passing a verdict from his lofty position, looked down on Alfie Evans, a 23-month-old boy who was in a ?semi-vegetative state"? and stated in so many words that human care and treatment for him were "unkind and inhumane". He overrode the wishes of Alfie's parents "to protect their child" and condemned him "to die" by authorizing the hospital to remove his life supports. He decided on his own that the love of Alfie's parents and the medical treatment were not in Alfie's "best interests". For one moment, the judge played God, a false human God who lacked compassion, love and the will to protect the rights of another human being. The sole purpose of judges was established to secure human life, human rights, not to judge its worth. Judges serve mankind, not vice versa. This fact is not debatable.

The NC legislature has before it two bills on assisted suicide, one to authorize it and one purporting to criminalize it. It is important to understand that the right-to-die movement contains two distinct groups, each of which supports one of the bills. This fact is important in explaining why BOTH of the bills that have been introduced in the NC General Assembly this spring are BAD bills which should be opposed. R. J. Snell
In their book What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense, Sherif Girgis, Ryan T. Anderson, and Robert P. George draw our attention to the question that matters most in the marriage debate -- what marriage is -- and make a reasonable and compassionate argument for marriage as a one-man one-woman union.

Big news today on the sexuality education front: solid evidence from a federally funded United States study that a programme limited to an abstinence message can significantly reduce the onset of sexual activity among young adolescents. Steven Mosher
Liu spent decades calling for respect for human rights and far-reaching political reform, efforts that in 2010 won him the Nobel Peace Prize. In awarding him the prize, the Nobel Committee noted "his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China." Elizabeth Wickham
We concluded that even though the message was cast in terms of "improving how people die" the real message was about changing the "default" in health care to withdrawal of life-saving treatment. In other words, patients and families were counseled to err on the side of death, rather than on the side of life. Judie Brown
Basic biology reveals the truth, and of course, the word of God tells us the truth as well: Barring a chromosomal abnormality, gender is either male or female. There is no third gender. Or fourth, fifth, sixth, or so on. So we return to the simple truth that, without an understanding of God, nature, and the human person, anything goes. And it does. Gender choice is not the end, but it does remind us that once man loses his sense of God, the human person is a mere thing to be disrespected, manipulated, and killed. Asia Human Rights

Religious belief and activity - particularly prayer - matter in important ways. They make a deeply practical difference in how husband and wife interact with each other in daily life. John Stonestreet
The worst form of discrimination against women in our time is one that is virtually ignored by feminists.
