Called to Be Counter-Cultural
The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy.

UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It

"Give Them Something to Eat": The Hungry Children of Asia

Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five... Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! A Democrat's Ideological Journey on Abortion

Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters.

UNAIDS and UNFPA Want More of the Same for Asia

Steven Mosher
As far as the HIV/AIDS hustlers at UNAIDS and UNFPA are concerned, Uganda and the Philippines do not exist. Yet these two countries, by promoting sensible and inexpensive prevention programs based on abstinence and marital fidelity, have stopped the AIDS epidemic in its tracks. Over at the UN, however, and at USAID, the focus continues to be on "safe sex" -- the costly pornographic sex ed and condom distribution schemes that only make the problem worse. When will President Bush intervene to rescue his HIV/AIDS plan from these profiteering zealots? (Steven W. Mosher)

Psycho-Social Aspects of Late Term Abortions
Thomas W. Strahan, B.S., J.D.

A.I.R.V.S.C.
Women who have induced abortions at 16 gestational weeks or later are more likely to be teenagers under the age of 18, black women, unemployed women, or women covered by Medicaid. These abortions are also more apt to be performed if the reason was possible fetal health problems, if the womans' parents wanted her to have an abortion, or if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest. Women were significantly less likely to have a later abortion if they were age 30 or older, if they had no religious affiliation, if they were having health problems, or if their husband or partner wanted them to have an abortion.
