Haiti: Child malnutrition crisis worsens amid escalating violence
Haiti is facing a worsening child malnutrition crisis, with an estimated 253,725 children aged 6 to 59 months projected to suffer from acute malnutrition between June 2026 and May 2027, new UN-backed analysis has revealed.

Setting the Bar
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. ... "As scars heal, the inflammation will slowly fade, but we retain the mark for the rest of our lives," my mother tells me. "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. It "criminalizes 'interference' with 'reproductive' or 'gender-affirming' care," as well as "inflicting 'emotional harm' against those seeking or providing 'reproductive health care services.' It also bans filming and sharing videos within 100 feet of an abortion clinic."

Mail Order Abortions Kill Babies, Hurt Women and Break the Law
Last week, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a new report: "Mifepristone Without Guardrails: An Investigation Into How Chemical Abortion Drug Makers Are Putting Mothers and Babies At Risk." The report confirms what many in the pro-life movement had already suspected -- mifepristone manufacturers are contributing to the current abortion drug crisis.

Doctors are Pushing Patients to Starve Themselves to Death
Many Western countries and jurisdictions are legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. That opens up a problem for the death pushers. Since states aren't going to get into the wet work of the actual killing, medical professionals and caregivers are going to be conscripted to do the deadly deeds -- even if that means violating their religious beliefs and moral consciences.

When Silence Feels Too Easy: A Christian Reflection on Abortion Pills

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore.

New! Toward an Understanding of Suicide

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.

New! Love My Neighbour - and My Enemy?

Ann Farmer
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.

New! The Death Spiral Continues: France Legalizes Euthanasia

Shenan J. Boquet

It is unsurprising that public confidence is at a low ebb when the law, which regularly turns a blind eye to people going to commit suicide in Switzerland, stationed uniformed police officers outside little Alfie's hospital room, apparently to protect him from being saved.

Obama's Achilles' Heel -- Preborn Babies

Judie Brown
Amidst the nation's numerous tragedies occurring today, we find our president willing to comfort the victims and rush to their aid. While this is both necessary and most certainly appreciated by those suffering, we must not forget those tiny victims of the nation's most appalling tragedy -- the victims of abortion. Not merely forgotten by our president, these innocent victims have been brushed aside and considered only a problem to dispose of -- problems that necessitate not even a second thought.
