IVF Kills More Unborn Babies Than Planned Parenthood
If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood? Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital A baby born weighing barely a pound at just 22 weeks gestation has finally been sent home after months in hospital, making him the most premature baby to survive at the hospital where he was born. Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school.

The United States is now in its third extended period of below-replacement fertility, after the Great Depression years and a stretch from 1972 to 1989.

Being 'Transgender' Is a Fantasy Thirty trillion cells make up the human body, and they deliver undeniable evidence of one's sexual identity, either XX (female) or XY (male). Cross-sex hormones and surgery cannot change intrinsic sex. The Media Eagerly Take the Wrong Side of the Facts on Girls Sports Journalists love to boast that they are "Facts First" people, that they are the brave souls seeking out 'truth.'

Editorial
If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Mike Johns It is in accepting the poor and the wretched refuse that the greatness and promise of America are to be found. Christopher O. Tollefsen There is no guarantee that the bioethics of our future will live up to America's founding promises and insights. Those of us concerned that such a bioethics should exist must, as Lincoln said in honoring the dead of Gettysburg, "be dedicated to the unfinished work" of creating, sustaining, and defending that bioethics. It will be no small task, but I hope to have given some sense of what the shape of that task must be. Siobhan Heekin-Canedy Perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from the Olympian mothers is that women are more than their bodies, and that we are all called to integrated human excellence, body and soul. Mark Bauerlein What counts as serious? At what point does difficulty signal a disability? Much of that is up to the disabled one, whose lived experience is decisive. Judie Brown Life is indeed in God's mind sacred from conception, and as it is a unique act of creation of a new person, God alone is the final author of how conception is to take place for those who read, believe and care deeply for the word of God.
Judie Brown It is helpful for the newcomer to these brazen examples of dissent and disregard for truth to understand that the horror of permitting an abortionist to hold any sort of position in a Catholic hospital is overshadowed by the obvious fact that the diocese has no problem with it. A.I.R.V.S.C. A special issue highlighting factors in the decision to abort. Included articles are Fetal Development Information: An Essential Aspect of Informed Consent by Monte Harris Liebman, M.D.; Women Report Lack of Informed Consent by Wanda Franz, Ph.D.; and Male Attitudes Are Important in Abortion Decision-Making by Thomas W. Strahan Asia Human Rights In the face of the world pointing accusatory fingers at the State for harbouring terrorists and militants, plus US President Trump's threat of sanctions against Pakistan, State Officials are denying the existence of militancy in the country. A.I.R.V.S.C. The identification of a pregnancy as "unintended" or"unwanted" is usually based on relationship factors with such pregnancies more common when relationships are just beginning, nearing an end, or are otherwise unstable. Decisions regarding resolution of unplanned pregnancies are likewise relational, involving the couple's connection to each other and each partner's relationship to the developing fetus. When pregnancy is terminated, the abortion becomes a part of the couple's shared history with potential to affect their future. An attempt is made in this article to integrate the limited available evidence in order to formulate a clearer picture of how abortion may adversely impact partner relationships. Adolfo J. Castaneda We live in a hedonistic society. Hedonism is the idea that pleasure, and especially physical pleasure, is the primary goal of life, instead of love of God and love of neighbor. One of the most common ways in which pleasure is pursued is sexual pleasure. Having sex outside of marriage has become so common that people, even some Catholics, do not understand anymore why such relations are sinful. Dot McGinnis Their leaves upturned in praise unto, / Christ who gave Himself for you. No Disposable People Warden Burl Cain and the Dignity of Prisoners Eric Metaxas It's easy to forget that every human being is made in God's image - even those behind bars. Carolyn Moynihan There is an interesting alignment of seemingly quite different stars in China: Christian-inspired abstinence education and official population policy. Eric Metaxas If a transgender person asks you to use a pronoun or name in line with his or her preferred gender, what do you do? It's no longer a hypothetical question. Men Not at Work The Church and combatting joblessness Eric Metaxas Demographers and economists say American men are facing an epidemic of epic proportions: joblessness.
