The number of babies born in the United States declined in 2025 while the number of babies killed in abortions has hit record highs. Study: Adolescents Who Received Gender Reassignment Have Worse Mental Health
A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations. The study tracked 2,083 people who had sought medical services for gender confusion between 1996-2019." Despite the glaring evidence of harm, many American "medical" institutions continue to provide harmful interventions to vulnerable persons. Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church's teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings
If the pre-born are not human, pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf is fond of saying, then no defense of abortion is necessary. But if they are human, no defense of abortion is adequate. Just One Study Found Abortion Pills Injured Over 95,000 Women
EPPC looked at more than 865,000 insurance claims of actual mifepristone patients and determined that the serious adverse events rate was closer to 11%! Just war doctrine and the duties of soldiers
What of the servicemen who have to fight in the wars their governments decide to wage? Do they have an obligation to make a moral judgment about these wars in light of just war criteria? The Parental Rights Paradox
"Teachers, counselors, doctors, and social workers all play valuable roles in children's lives. But they are not parents. They lack the lifelong attachment and responsibility that anchor parental authority. For that reason, American law traditionally resisted allowing outsiders to direct a child's upbringing. The presumption has long been that parents, not institutions, should guide a child's development." How Trans Ideology Demolishes Itself
Insights from the Paradox Institute's Cynthia Breheny: "Proponents of trans ideology will go so far as to claim that acknowledging sex is an erasure of someone's trans identity -- even saying something along the lines of acknowledging sex erases their very personhood. And that's where the primary contradiction of trans ideology lies: in order for it to be a groundbreaking revelation about humanity, it has to have ground to stand on - it has to rely on sex." New: IOC Policy Protects Female Sports
On Thursday, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a new policy to protect the female (women's) category in Olympic sports. Eligibility for female sports will now be determined by a genetic test for the presence of the SRY gene, which triggers male sexual development and cannot change. The IOC policy is likely to have downstream positive effects on international federations and sports governing bodies. However, past Olympic medals awarded to males competing in female sports will not be rescinded. More Headlines…

Imagine not being able to go to church without fear. Imagine having to hide your faith from your friends, your neighbors, or even your government. For millions of Catholics around the world, this is not just a possibility - it is their everyday life. Religious persecution is often talked about in general terms, but for many Catholics, it is deeply personal. In many countries, they face discrimination, violence, imprisonment, and even death simply because of their faith. While the modern world often presents itself as tolerant and progressive, the truth is that Catholic Christians remain one of the most persecuted religious groups today. Continue reading at Fr.

Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby's heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies we see around us. That is why, for decades, we have been bombarded with messages seeking to downplay the fact that abortion kills a human being. Mark Powell
Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, this article explores a biblical framework for immigration - balancing compassion for foreigners with the responsibility of nations to protect unity and the common good. Ann Farmer
A critique of UK political commentator Matthew Parris challenges his reading of Christ and assisted-dying advocacy, defending Jesus' teaching on the poor, and warns that secular "solipsism" undermines compassion, dignity, and the sanctity of life. Susan Ciancio
Since the reversal of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, we have seen anger. We have seen violence. And we have seen the dispersal of all kinds of misinformation - most of it aimed at increasing rage, stirring up indignation, and causing confusion. One of the pieces of misinformation that continues to spread pertains to ectopic pregnancies. Judie Brown
Everyone deserves to know the truth about what it means to die. But more importantly, each of us should be aware of what others might do to rob us or our loved ones of each moment that God has planned for us during this life.
I Have a Dream
Who Inspired Martin Luther King, Jr.? John Stonestreet
If you have children who are learning about the "I Have a Dream" speech today, make sure they understand what motivated Martin Luther King, Jr. It was his faith in the God who authored justice. Because of this, as King reminded us fifty years ago today, when it comes to civil rights, we should not be satisfied with America's progress until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." Michael Cook
Should whole-genome sequencing be used in public-health programs which screen newborns for rare conditions? That question is likely to stir debate in coming years in many of the 60+ countries that provide newborn screening, as whole-genome sequencing (WGS) becomes increasingly affordable and reliable. Michael Cook
While virginity tests for unmarried women have been universally regarded as unethical in Western countries, the practice is spreading in immigrant communities. Judie Brown
Clearly the lives of innocent people of every age are at risk in our nation today because the moral precept "thou shalt not kill" has become a decaying relic from a time when human beings revered each other and their lives. At this moment nobody can take that time-honored precept for granted lest their life be at risk or taken because they presumed decency where only deceit and death exist. Michael Cook
Two recent controversies over "brain-dead" patients have obviously flustered some medical ethicists. Writing in a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine, David C. Magnus, Benjamin S. Wilfond, and Art Caplan insist that the definition of death as brain death must be maintained. Judie Brown
As we come closer to the time where we adore the precious Baby Jesus born in a manger, we are constantly reminded of those babies in danger of not being born at all. People who believe a woman has the "right" to choose whether her baby lives or dies do not understand that each and every person is a creation of God-fully alive from the moment of his or her biological beginning. Frank J. Moncher
Some recent events in the news have highlighted just how difficult it is to affirm modesty as a virtue worth instilling. In one particular instance, a public school principal took a stance for modesty, and may end up in court as a result. Shenan J. Boquet
We mourn the millions of lives lost, due to the hubris of seven unelected judges, who took it upon themselves in 1973 to unconstitutionally steal authority from the American people, and to impose their nihilistic, radically individualistic, anti-life worldview on the whole nation. And yet, we face the future with renewed hope and gratitude. Richard J. Fehring
According to an article in The Alan Guttmacher Institute's journal, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, the Today contraceptive sponge is back on the market. Asia Human Rights
Cambodians' dissatisfaction with the country's direction is well-documented.
