Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever
A growing body of research suggests that living near grandparents can have lasting benefits for parents, children, and family life as a whole. Mailed Abortion Pills, Part 2: Physical Perils and Mental Traumas
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against buying abortion pills through mail. On its website, it headlines a section, "FDA Does Not Recommend Buying Mifepristone Online." It elaborates "buying it online" means "bypassing important safeguards specifically designed to protect health." It comments there is no way to be certain any medication received through mail is safe. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
On June 5, 2026, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of herself and 13 other state attorneys general questioning whether "the abortion pill[1]" was contaminating American water. What does this mean? It means that, if ambient concentrations of mifepristone reach "sufficient concentration," it could affect pregnant women who unintentionally are exposed to it. Nor is there clear research about how it could affect "reproductive organ development and fertility," i.e., the next generation of young people entering puberty. British Medical Association Requires Doctors to Starve Patients to Death
The subtitle of the revised and updated version of my book criticizing utilitarian bioethics, Culture of Death, is, "The Age of 'Do Harm' Medicine." Helping patients kill themselves by self-starvation and dehydration -- known in euthanasia parlance as VSED (for voluntary stopping eating and drinking) -- certainly fits that designation. Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons
The question Congress will have to answer is, "Who gets to deprive a preborn baby of his or her 5th Amendment right to life without due process?" The telemedicine company illegally shipping the drugs across state lines? The doctor? The abusive boyfriend or husband? The politician? The womb renters? The mother? National Day of Remembrance Will Mourn 66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions
"Mourn for these children because they are members of the human family," Jansen said. "They were created in God's image like we were. They deserve to be mourned for." The joy of killing babies
There are scenes that sum up the sickness of an era, and we saw one of them unfold in the office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Monday. She was at her desk, surrounded by beaming women. There was flashing and the sound of camera shutters; the governor bent over and signed a document. She nodded as the women broke out into laughter and applause. 'Thank you,' she said. ...The momentous event was Governor Healy's signing of the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which eliminated one of the state's last remaining abortion laws. If You Want To Be A Grandparent One Day, Raise Your Kids To Get Married And Want Babies ASAP
If you'd rather spend your 60s holding grand-babies instead of watching your 30-something daughter livestream hormone injections, start laying the foundation for marriage and parenthood now. They Cheered Abortions Up to Birth, And They Want More
I watched a clip of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the bill legalizing abortion up to the moment of birth. It felt completely surreal. A group of women stood around her, applauding. The thought that came to mind was "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Caitlyn Jenner Has a Simple Answer to the WNBA's Transgender Player Problem
Where sex is concerned, human reproductive biology is pretty standard: Humans are sexually bipolar, with two sexes, male and female. This is determined genetically at conception; barring a few rare and usually debilitating genetic disorders, an XX chromosome pair results in a female, and an XY pair, a male. That's just how it is. These are facts. And another fact is that the XY pairing gives the resulting child and, in time, adult, a significant advantage in sports. More Headlines…

Through the Eyes of a Missionary Priest Working in Japan: Working in pro-life ministry for over 40 years as a Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate has given me the opportunity to meet people at almost every stage of life. I have shared the happiness of families welcoming a new baby. I have spent time with young people at Kochi University trying to figure out who they are and where their lives are going. During my many pro-life trips throughout Asia, I have visited people in hospitals, listened to those going through difficult times, and prayed with people nearing the end of their lives. All of these experiences have taught me something very simple but very important: human life is beautiful, and human life is sacred.
I think we sometimes forget this, especially in a world that is constantly telling us what a "successful" life should look like. We see it on social media, where everyone seems happy, attractive, and successful. Young people can begin to feel that their grades measure how intelligent they are, that getting the right job will determine whether they succeed in life, or even that the number of followers and "likes" they receive says something about their worth. Without realizing it, we can begin to feel that we have to prove ourselves. But our value as human beings does not depend on our grades, our appearance, our career, our popularity, or what other people think of us.

Using a topic-blind survey distributed to a national random sample of women, the researchers examined women's reproductive histories, abortion decision types, pre-abortion risk factors, and negative outcomes women attributed to their abortions. Among respondents, 22.6% reported a history of abortion, a rate that closely matches the Guttmacher Institute's national estimate. Nancy Valko
Personally, I am not against all organ donation. In the past, I have offered to be a living donor for a friend who needed a kidney, watched my grandson cured of a rare disease through a bone marrow transplant and told my family that I wanted to donate my corneas and any other tissues that can be taken after natural death. I am open to new facts but, until then, I refuse an apnea test or any other test to specifically determine brain death if I have a severe brain injury. Steven Willing
Genuine humility is the road to wisdom. And growth in wisdom leads to even more humility. It's a virtuous cycle. Tony Perkins
Pride Month 2026 began with some bracing news for the LGBTQIA+ movement. According to Gallup's latest annual survey, public support for same-sex marriage, the morality of homosexual conduct, and transgenderism has declined significantly. James Macpherson
Politicians abandoned common sense for fear of offending.

The World Medical Association amended its Physician's Pledge during a recent general assembly, much to the chagrin of culture-of-life physicians worldwide. The newly revised language respects the "autonomy" of the patient, which could signal approval of choices to end one's life or the life of a loved one. Judie Brown
The demonic exercise of force against truth (coup d'etat) that I am addressing here has to do with genders, human beings, and the futility of denying who a person is according to nature, according to basic biology, and most importantly according to the Creator Himself. Douglas McManaman
Many young people today are easily lured by socialism. There are a number of factors that might explain this, but this article focuses on one factor in particular: a very real intellectual habit that has deep roots in the history of classical thought, namely the tendency to reify an abstraction, that is, to regard what is only a general idea inside the mind as a real "thing" outside the mind.

UK police investigate a possible pronoun crime. Against the lowering storm clouds of Brexit, a squall involving the "misgendering" of a trans girl, now trans woman, could be dismissed as a storm in a British teacup. But it remains to be seen whether a police investigation into the matter is a sign of things to come. Judie Brown
It all comes down to abortion. That's what my late father-in-law always said. No philosophical disagreement, no policy debate, no theological quibble rivals our fundamental and unbridgeable divide on the question of abortion. No other issue carries half as much baggage in the public mind. Not taxes, not healthcare, not immigration, not war, not peace. In the final tally, it all comes down to abortion. This disease has so infected the body politic that it has begun to make bitter enemies even out of those with seemingly aligned interests. Don't believe me? Consider the strange case of the competing Down syndrome booklets. Grace Melton
Individuals who are victims of abuses against their fundamental human rights can and should be defended and protected using existing human rights laws and norms, regardless of their race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or any other distinguishing characteristic. UN member states and human rights advocates alike should work to promote and protect fundamental, natural human rights, not redefine or eliminate rights based on their particular policy preferences. Marcus Roberts
The name and the story of Belgian chemist Dr Tom Mortier (a MercatorNet contributor) has become known throughout the world. His physically well mother was clinically depressed. Yet in 2012 she was euthanased without his knowledge in Belgium. He and his sister were left to pick up the pieces. Judie Brown
Embryos are not potential human life. They are human life. And every single human embryo from her first cell onward is an unrepeatable human being. Having understood this for many years, we wonder how it can possibly be that people still reject this truth. Do they forget that if each of them had not been a human embryo first, they would not be talking today about the reasons why they detest this fact?

Those who believe abortion to be a morally permissible act are not troubled by the charge that use of aborted fetal tissue amounts to complicity in abortion. Since they do not believe the fetus is a person, they maintain that it is permissible to use fetal tissue much in the same way one could use the hair gathered from the floor of a barber shop. They see use of fetal tissue as transforming what seems to be needless waste into a compassionate good. Shannon Roberts
Appreciation has more impact than financial incentives.
