Germany's Trans Laws are a Threat to Women, Free Speech, and Common Sense
Germany is becoming a world leader in transgender confusion. Since its implementation in 2024, the country's Self-Determination Act has given rise to an increasing number of surreal court proceedings. One such case--which, fortunately, ended in an acquittal earlier this month--involved the chairperson of a feminist group called 'Frauenheldinnen,' an organisation that has been battling the transgender spell.

New Report Shows Abortions Killed 99,470 Babies in January
A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year.

UK transgender bathroom ban is the latest setback for the LGBT lobby
Because the landmark 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling stating that 'sex' in the Equality Act refers only to biological sex -- rather than 'gender identity,' as trans activists claimed -- the transgender movement has faced setback after setback. After being almost entirely conquered by the trans movement in less than a decade, the pendulum has been swinging back in the UK.

Science Is Making the Humanity of Unborn Babies Harder to Ignore

Abortion Industry Promotes New, Dangerous Chemical Abortion Regimen
Pro-abortion organizations are touting a dangerous, unproven chemical abortion regimen to stymie potential regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone.

Sex-Affirming Care vs "Gender-Affirming Care"
"Gender-Affirming Care is dressed in the language of compassion. Yet behind the reassuring vocabulary sits the automatic medicalisation of a person's sense of identity...Therapy has moved from helping people understand themselves to helping them reshape their bodies and faces so that their appearance reflects an inner psychological reality."

Gaza children trapped 'in an endless cycle of suffering': UNICEF
The dire conditions in the Gaza Strip are trapping children "in an endless cycle of suffering" and their heartbroken parents can only look on, an official with the UN child rights agency UNICEF said on Friday in a fresh appeal for greater humanitarian access to support families in the war-ravaged enclave.

Canada Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
In April 2026, Canada surpassed 100,000 reported euthanasia deaths since legalization in June 2016. Canada doesn't need to further expand euthanasia to people who are mentally ill but rather Canada needs to completely review its euthanasia killing program.

UN Report: Unseen Child War Victims Soar
The most advanced age in human history is tolerating a kind of global war on children that no normal person, left or right, would defend if they saw the numbers laid bare.

Ebola epidemic spreading rapidly and outpacing containment efforts

Who Decides When A Life Is Valuable?

Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Ethical Perspectives

New! Gen Z and Men Who Yearn

Beatrice Scudeler
For a generation marked by a noticeable gender split on political beliefs as well as by ever declining marriage rates, it would seem that young women still retain a desire for a specific vision of manhood. But what exactly is that vision?

A Father's Cry

Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.

War, Restraint, and the Christian Conscience

Russell L. Lackey
The church's task is neither to baptize the sword nor to pretend the sword has no place in a fallen world. It is to stand beneath the cross, telling the truth.

From Promised Autonomy to Delivered Harm: Structural Violence in the Era of Mail-Order Abortion Drugs

Gavin Oxley
Government systems should be designed with care in mind, not weaponized to harm abortion-vulnerable women.

What Binds Marriage Forever?

Nathanael Blake
Only a revitalization of the richness of Christian marriage will suffice as a bulwark against the insanity, exploitation, and selfishness of the gender and sexual revolutions.

India: Curious case of anti-farmer, anti-consumer, self-pricing tomatoes

Asia Human Rights
Looking at the pattern of tomato pricing in India, year after year, could lead one to believe that tomatoes are pricing themselves, evilly conspiring against the farmers producing them and the consumers buying them, helping only the intermediaries in the process.

Americans Don't Want to be Taxed to Pay for Abortions

Steven Mosher
Countries Receiving U.S. Foreign Aid Money Don't Want to be Pressured into Abortions Either.

Pope Francis, Civil Unions, and Moral Truth

Ryan T. Anderson
More deeply understanding the truth about marriage and human sexuality will help all of us flourish. And that is what a pastor like Pope Francis desires. We can understand - indeed we share - the frustration of our fellow Catholics with the ways in which the Holy Father conducts interviews and the ways in which the media distorts them, but we must not do anything to undermine the truth that sets us free.

Lisabeth Posthuma's Baby & Solo (Candlewick Press, 2021)

Jeff J. Koloze
A well-written odyssey of a male teen who befriends a teen mother who rejects abortion, Posthuma has generated a fast-paced novel that transgender and pro-life activists can enjoy without being bashed over the head with woke or leftist nonsense.

Death: The Definitive Painkiller

Judie Brown
Palliative care was originally understood to be the practice of offering relief and comfort to a suffering or dying patient. But the popular version of this technique is something quite different. Ione Whitlock suggests that today "one is well-advised to be skeptical of a referral to palliative care."

Who qualifies as a 'real expert' when it comes to coronavirus?

Irving News Comments
Academics "stay in their lanes" when commenting on the pandemic. Whether for narcissistic, or self-delusional, or devious reasons, major crises such as the one we are currently in re the Coronavirus pandemic always "justify" such non-experts to come out of the woodwork and "instruct" the rest of us as to what to think and what should be done about it. Academics should face more scrutiny and accountability by officials, the public and the media as well, and be legally required to "stay in their lanes" -- or face fines and jail time as their duly deserved consequences.

Abortion as a Feminist Concern

Janet E. Smith
Rather than being a "right" of women, abortion is a great disservice to women, one which reflects both a growing lack of appreciation among women for those powers and capacities which are distinctly theirs as women and a growing despair that women are willing and able to be full participants in society and to make the sometimes noble sacrifices demanded of individuals for the good of society Seeing abortion as solely a matter of women's rights assumes that the fetus has no rights or that the rights of the woman are unquestionably superior. But abortion, no matter where it tits into the scheme of the rights for women, is a violation of the right to life for another human being.

The Devil Made Me Do It!

Judie Brown
In the 1960s the well-known comedian Flip Wilson memorialized the phrase "The devil made me do it!" He was very funny, and the phrase caught on.

Course Correction (Ordinary Times 22)

Proclaim Sermons
Our passage is about a time when Jesus showed Peter a "course correction" he needed to make. Had he not made that correction, Peter would have continued "setting his mind not on divine things but on human things." The good news for us is that Jesus is patient and willing to help us make course corrections as we follow him.

Doctor Executioners

Judie Brown
The word "physician" has historically connoted a feeling of trust, of comfort, and of reassurance. A doctor must care for his patients, must do his best to heal them, and must never put them in harm's way. But is this the case today? Are all physicians to be trusted? Are all of them valuing the lives of each and every patient- born and preborn, sick and healthy - and practicing medicine accordingly? Sadly, the answer is no.
