We Should have Compassion for Babies, Born and Unborn
The importance of a single life -- specifically, a baby's life -- to change the world can never be underestimated. Planned Parenthood Kills 40% of All Babies Who Die in Abortions
Planned Parenthood's latest annual report "Above & Beyond" for 2022-2023 is of special interest because it is the first by the abortion giant officially covering the time since the June 2022 overturn of Roe. As such, it gives people an idea as to how much business was and was not affected by the Dobbs decision overturning Roe and what steps the group has taken to keep the nation's largest abortion chain open and busy. Planned Parenthood Brought in $2.9 Billion Last Year, Killed 1,075 Babies in Abortions Every Day
Despite the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on June 24, 2022, Planned Parenthood aborted five percent more unborn children during the 2022-2023 fiscal year than the previous year and brought in more than $2.9 billion in assets. Catholic Bishops Call for Day of Prayer to Save Babies From Abortion
The Catholic bishops in Poland are calling for citizens of the eastern European country to set aside a day of prayer to save babies from abortion. While the call is for the EU nation to rally in prayer, there's no reason why Christians across the globe can't join in to pray for unborn children to be spared from the terrible tragedy of abortion. Is a 15-Week Abortion Ban Actually Pro-Choice? And if so, how should pro-life Christians respond?
In 2012, when I became the president and CEO of Care Net, the Republicans and Democrats supported very different national policy positions on abortion. Assisted suicide numbers in Oregon continue to rise
In 1997, Oregon became the first jurisdiction to legalise physician-assisted suicide for people with a terminal illness. Since then, numbers have increased year-on-year, and this shows no sign of slowing. Inside the horrifying world of transgender surgery
WPATH, or the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, is respected as the peak body for transgender medicine. Its 'standards of care' (SOC) were once regarded as a benchmark for ethical and effective treatment for minors and adults. ...Its prestige, however, has been tarnished by the leak of hundreds of posts from an internal messaging forum. These are evidence of doctors basing their surgery, even on young people, on trial and error, not on medical research. The internet went wild over the leak. The Times of London called WPATH quack medicine, and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Lauren Schwartz, MD, stated: 'WPATH has evolved into one of the most egregious disfigurements of medical practice our profession has ever encountered. MIT, Harvard professors slam pro-LGBT phrase 'sex assigned at birth' in New York Times column
Instead of asking for a person's sex, some medical and camp forms these days ask for 'sex assigned at birth' or 'assigned sex' (often in addition to gender identity). The American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association endorse this terminology; its use has also exploded in academic articles. The Cleveland Clinic's online glossary of diseases and conditions tells us that the 'inability to achieve or maintain an erection' is a symptom of sexual dysfunction, not in 'males,' but in 'people assigned male at birth.' In short, this shift in language has been real, discernable, and imposed from the top down. New Study: Abortion Increases Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases
A new longitudinal peer-reviewed study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute has shown that abortions are an independent risk factor for increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death among women. Catholic Bishops Say Killing Babies in Abortions "Can Never be a Fundamental Right"
"By inserting it into the constitution, the left wants to make abortion sacred as if it were a value at the heart of the national 'social contract,'" Bauer told the Catholic News Agency last year. "From being a crime, abortion has become a banal medical act, and the left now is seeking to make it a fundamental right, superior to every other right." More Headlines…

Editorial
It appears today that the truth is not important anymore. What is important is to do what is "politically correct", not what is right. Our involvement in politics should be driven by the uncompromising belief that no one is worthless and that truth is paramount. For this reason, we, as Christians, defend the Right of the unborn to live. It is also the reason why we stand against suicide and euthanasia. We do not have a right to kill people because they are near death and need our help. Our witness to the dignity of human life also requires that we speak up against unjust wars, (eg. Ukraine, Gaza), for migrants who are fleeing violence (eg. Somalia, Kenya) and other hardships (eg. North Korea, Afghanistan). These people have dignity no matter what language they speak and no matter what religion they practice. The same is true for prisoners. No matter what crimes they have committed, their lives still matter and they still deserve to be treated with respect. As Christians, we must give voice to all those people whom the world says are worthless. When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make any compromises. Period! The world needs our witness more than ever. So let us not be afraid to speak up for those who are so often forgotten and overlooked.

Dignitas infinita is receiving considerable attention in the media, due to the fact that it re-affirms long-standing Catholic teaching on certain controversial issues, such as transgenderism, abortion, euthanasia, and surrogacy.

If any single age really attains, by eugenics and scientific education, the power to make its descendants what it pleases, all men who live after are the patients of that power, slaves to the dead hand of the great planners and conditioners. If man chooses to treat himself as raw material, raw material he will be. - C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man. Katy Faust
What should be at the forefront of everyone's mind is the question, "How does all this technological tinkering affect the kids?" We are only beginning to be able to answer that question. Faith Kuzma
The idea of a "sex change" is essentially binary and therefore old-fashioned. There are only two sexes, so there are only two possible sex changes - male to female and female to male. A gender fluid world opens up a whole spectrum of possibilities. New! Pastoral statement for World Earth Day
Earth Day focuses attention on appreciation and stewardship for Planet Earth.
Michael D. Pfeifer
Earth Day reminds us that the engagement of the world must transcend politics, personal policy, agendas, and focus on human ecology which calls for a conversion of political, economic, cultural, and social systems as well as individual lifestyles, and sharing all of Earth's goods with all inhabitants. We are living in a time of crisis, fracturing the environment in countless ways including global climate change.

Let's get one thing straight: are we against the sexualization of children or are we not? If we -- adult, mainstream society -- are against it, we had better start explaining to ourselves why there are people employed in public institutions who say openly that they do not believe in the sexual innocence of children and want to expose it as a myth. Xavier Symons

The priest, who is called to Christ's side to be his chosen friend, participates in this priestly function of dedicating the universe to God. Like Christ, the priest is consecrated - set aside from secular purposes - to live the cosmic consecration to God.
Tragedy or Tissue?
The Contradictory Ways We Talk about the Unborn John Stonestreet
If it weren't so jarring and tragic, the contradictory laws and language tolerated in our country about abortion would be laughable. Antonio P. Pueyo
The affairs of the Kingdom are more important than one's comfort. A faithful disciple and steward gets involved in God's affairs. This entails inconveniences and risk-taking. Antonio P. Pueyo
So what is it in childhood that pleases God? It was a time for just being. It was a time of engaging life in an immediate manner. Today is good and tomorrow is another good day. Before we learned to be cunning or pragmatic or calculating, we were innocent children. Our powers of imagining, reasoning, and willing worked hand in hand with our sense of joy, friendship, play, duty, fairness, and reverence for God.
Proclaim Sermons
When our Lord reached out to heal a leper, one of the untouchables of his day, he set for us an example by feeling both heartfelt pity and perhaps even righteous anger at the customs of his day, customs that isolated those who needed support and love the most. The leper set for us an example by coming forward boldly in faith -- recognizing that Jesus was able to heal miraculously -- but also acknowledging that it's up to God to decide when healing would take place.

At the same time as IVF experts in the UK issue dire warning to women that their fertility drops rapidly with age, they are also touting the possibility freezing their eggs as an insurance policy Wesley J. Smith
Another great article by Wesley Smith that exposes another case showing the harsh reality behind the much-touted "strict safeguards" in Oregon.
