For decades, the most potent image deployed in favor of legalized abortion has been the coat hanger. The message has always been blunt: If abortion is not provided by licensed physicians using sanitized instruments, women will resort to desperate and dangerous methods on their own. Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children. Will the younger sibling follow?...Not every younger sibling is equally vulnerable. Understanding the risk and protective factors helps you calibrate your response." The Magisterium of the Popes and nuclear weapons
Our Editorial Director recalls the teachings of the Popes on nuclear weapons since the atomic bombings of Japan in August 1945. The Bible Does Not Support Abortion. Here's Proof

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Philip Irvin
What if we replace traditional pronouns with biological chromosome labels XY and XX? A strategy to push back against transgender ideology and reclaim gender as biologically determined.

Marriage and family are among the basic goods of the good life, of flourishing, of delights. Shakespeare is cheering us on. May we take heart and enter the dance. Susan Ciancio
Awkward. Embarrassing. Uncomfortable. Any or all of these words are likely to describe the way that parents feel when they think about teaching kids about sex. But acknowledging and overcoming these feelings - one of the more difficult parts of Catholic parenthood - is incredibly necessary if we are to raise children who see themselves as gifts to others and who then go out into the world to live as gifts. Michael D. Pfeifer
The Bible clearly teaches that human life is sacred and precious from conception, and that murder is wrong (Genesis 9:6). This sacredness flows from the sacrament of marriage in which a married couple cooperates with God in bringing new human life into our world.

Researchers at the National Foundation for Educational Research asked the English pupils, aged between 10 and 15, whether they agreed, disagreed or were unsure about the statement: "I feel happy about life at the moment." Steven Mosher
Will they cure Europe's demographic sickness or just temporarily alleviate the pain? Judie Brown
The life of Dr. Grant Clark, of Depoe Bay, Oregon, calls to mind Saint Augustine's words: "Our hearts are restless till they rest in Thee." Decades ago, just a few years after finishing medical school, he began committing abortions. He only recently broke his silence about that dark chapter in his long medical career, because, he explained, "What the Lord has put me through ... was gradual. ... It takes courage to admit you were a murderer." Michael Cook
An extensive survey of assisted suicide in Switzerland between 2003 and 2008 has found that the most vulnerable people are women, people who live alone or people who are divorced. People who ask for assisted suicide tend to be wealthier and better educated. Judith Reisman
Dads, if you read nothing else in your life, I urge you to read pediatrician Dr. Meg Meeker's very sane, very clear but very chilling book. "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" is easily the most sensible fathering manual available for men who cherish their daughters. My favorite Meekerism: "If she knows that you are there, dependable and full of love for her, you will have taught her this great lesson: Life is good. Good men help make it so." James Bradshaw
Published to much acclaim in March, Matthew Desmond's Poverty, by America focuses on one of the most distinctive aspects of American life: abnormally severe poverty existing alongside abundant wealth. Judie Brown
Love the sinner, hate the sin. That is something we are taught from the time we are children. But, in today's society, we are now taught to tolerate the sin, embrace the sin, or even advocate for the sin. If we dare to mention that a type of behavior is sinful, we are castigated and branded intolerant. As we regularly see, Catholic clergy often do not give voice to God's word and God's will. Consequently, we now live in a society where it is the peoples' will that rules. Why have we silenced God? Margaret Somerville
The euthanasia debate is on the front-burner in Australia, especially in the states of Victoria and Tasmania. In one of the latest salvos, ethicist Professor Margaret Somerville claimed that suicide rates rise in jurisdictions where euthanasia and assisted suicide are legal. Steven Mosher
You probably didn't know it, but some of the money extracted from your paycheck by the IRS winds up in China, where it is used to fund that country's population control programs. Here's how it works: Judie Brown
Various statements attributed to Cardinal Timothy Dolan continue to create concern among Catholics and frustration among those of us who can see the double standard that is being applied when the theology of tolerance becomes an avenue for a seat at the table of human power. One of the pro-life movement's most stalwart legal scholars shares his views with Judie Brown on this burning subject.
