Softball Hall of Famer on the Future of Men in Women's Sports - 'Girls Are Going to Get Wiped Out'
As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up.

After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion.

The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

Nagasaki, 81 Years Later: A Wound That Calls Us to Peace

Remembering the People: Today, as we remember Nagasaki, I do not want simply to speak about an event in history. I want us to remember people - fathers and mothers, children and grandparents, students and workers, priests and religious sisters - whose lives were suddenly destroyed on August 9, 1945.

As a Catholic priest who has lived and served in Japan for 61 years, I have come to understand that Nagasaki is not simply a place on a map. Nagasaki is a sacred place of memory. It is a place where the history of Japan, the history of the Catholic Church, and the tragedy of war come together. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Don't Worry. Be Conservative.

Ben Peterson
The war on spiritual poverty is worth fighting, and we need foot soldiers and generals who are willing to wage it.

New! America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty.

New! Abortion Drug Crisis: Four Years After Overturning of Roe v Wade, Abortions Have Nearly Doubled

Dan Hart
Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws.

New! Roi Yozevitch Is AI Taking Over the "Religion of the Book"?

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

A Glimpse into a Post-Christian Future: Public Support for Killing the Poor and Disabled

Charles C. Camosy
Playing a strictly defensive game of knocking down attempts to legalize physician-assisted killing - especially as the United States secularizes and becomes more like Canada - seems like an untenable strategy for protecting the most vulnerable from this deadly violence. Locking in dignity and radical equality of all human beings will require more. In short, it is time to go on offense.

Germany to shrink by 10 million people by 2050

Steven Mosher
In 2003, I was in middle school. I had just started to envision a future for myself - one that involved traveling. In high school I began to realize my dream: I went abroad and spent several days in Germany. I learned firsthand that Germany was an energetic country with a rich (if tumultuous) history. But I didn't know back then that Germany was dying.

Thoughts on White Privilege
Some Fundamental Points on the Problem with the Concept "White Privilege"

Douglas McManaman
The concept "white privilege" is just that, a concept, an abstraction. It is a general category, and it is a concept rooted in Marxism, which is a paradigm, a conceptual framework, a narrative in which certain pieces of data are filtered in order to provide a coherent worldview. A paradigm is a model of reality. The problem with models, as any scientist knows, is that reality always seems to exceed the model, as new data eventually shows. In other words, models are simplifications, but reality is highly complex.

Acts, omissions, and euthanasia for organ donation

Xavier Symons
With the push to legalise assisted dying in several Western countries, bioethicists are starting to consider the possibility of "organ donation euthanasia".

At Planned Parenthood, Demons Are Not Confined to Halloween

Judie Brown
Incredible as it seems, there is more gore spewing from Planned Parenthood's inner sanctum each passing day. Let's begin in Kansas where documentation is destroyed and late-term abortionists are held in the highest esteem. It seems that all of the records required by law to ensure that Planned Parenthood was complying with the law, regarding the case former Kansas attorney general Phill Kline had brought against Planned Parenthood and its cohorts, have been shredded! Yes, you got it. They are no more.

What A Muslim Family's Chair for the Pope Teaches Children about Catholic-Muslim Relations

Jennifer S. Bryson
A new children's book provides a way to introduce children to Christian-Muslim relations by celebrating robust and full religious expression in a diverse society.

Logical Fallacies in the Literature on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Jeff J. Koloze
Much of the debate about human embryonic stem cell research involves an effort to persuade the public that such use is ethical. Certainly not all human embryonic stem cell research is fallacious, but I will focus on certain works which contain such errors in thinking. Higher education is keenly aware that most students lack critical thinking skills. I have perceived this lack among my own students over the past fourteen years, and I can testify to students' lack of critical thinking skills on controversial issues, such as the use of stem cells derived from abortions.

Gay sperm donor dad or lesbian partner, who is the legal parent?

Carolyn Moynihan
This has to be one of the craziest, mixed-up "modern family" stories so far, and some time this year the High Court of Australia has to provide a legal ending.

Is 'woke' just a slur to describe 'stuff I don't like'?

Kurt Mahlburg
Woke' is hotly contested by progressives and conservatives.

Why Are Late Abortions Performed?

Brian Clowes
As experts have known for years, unborn children begin to feel pain as early as eight weeks after fertilization, and definitely no later than 14 weeks. Science proves that an unborn child, when being aborted in the second or third trimester, feels hideous pain as he or she is cut apart by the razor-sharp instruments of the abortionist.
