How the Abortion Industry Enables Human Trafficking
Each year sex trafficking claims an estimated 100,000 new victims in the US and in various forms enslaves as many as 400,000 young people. Shockingly, the average age of enslavement of girls is 12-14 years. While public awareness of sex trafficking is growing, sadly most Americans have yet to comprehend just how deeply its ugly tentacles have infiltrated American society. Sex trafficking is literally all around us--hiding in plain sight, if we know what to look for. Gavin Newsom is Obsessed With Killing Babies in Abortions
Newsom signed a budget bill that coughed up $90 million in "one-time emergency funds" for Planned Parenthood, the king of abortion "providers" and other women's health providers. That was in addition to his October generosity when Newsom approved a $140 million allocation to PPFA, raising the total to above $200 million. Two-thirds of aborted babies lost their lives to abortion pills, report finds
After a report found that nearly two-thirds of abortions are chemical, advocacy groups are pushing for national and local safeguards against mail-order abortion pill prescriptions. Gender Ideology Threatens Catholic Formation
"Not all Catholic educators, and not all Catholic schools, oppose gender ideology. Some dioceses have given no guidance or encouragement to families (or their Catholic schools) on this issue - despite the devastating effects on a child, and the whole family, when a child is wooed and won by the lies of gender ideology. Worse, too many Catholic families I have met in my work have felt betrayed by Catholic schools that affirmed and encouraged their child's newfound 'LGBTQ' identification, often behind parents' backs." An Atheist's Argument Against Abortion
Don Marquis was an atheist philosopher best known for his argument against abortion, which makes absolutely no appeal to religion, the soul, or God. So, how does Marquis reason to his conclusion? Studies Show Unborn Babies Demonstrate Consciousness During Pregnancy

Wombs for sale? Unborn baby pricing? Selling motherhood? I want to be honest with you: surrogacy, human trafficking, and Catholic teaching are challenging issues. They touch on deep longings (to be loved, to be a parent), real human suffering (poverty, coercion, abuse), and big questions about what it means to treat people with dignity. My aim here is not to lecture but to help you think through the moral issues associated with "MODERN-DAY SLAVERY".
Advances in reproductive technology have changed what families look like today. For some, surrogacy brings real hope. But when surrogacy becomes a commercial transaction - when reproductive labor is bought and sold - it raises serious ethical and social questions. Many Catholics compare COMMERCIAL SURROGACY to forms of modern corruption and TRAFFICKING.

Basic decency provides more than enough grounds for Christians to oppose hateful and irrational attacks against Jews and Israel. We should treat these episodes as tests of our courage and discernment, because that's exactly what they are. Judie Brown
We have spent decades working to help our brothers and sisters discern the simple fact that when a man and a woman procreate a child, that human being is as deserving of life as her parents. It seems simple enough, but as we know, rhetorical machinations, false science, and skewed marketing have resulted in a literal bloodbath, taking the lives of millions of preborn babies. Shenan J. Boquet
Human dignity is not measured by its efficiency or usefulness. Life always has value, despite illness, frailty, and limitations. The answer to suffering is not to offer death, but to guarantee forms of social support, continuous health care, and home health care, so that the patient does not feel alone and families can be supported and accompanied. Walt Heyer
A landmark malpractice verdict exposes the harms of so-called "gender-affirming care", vindicating a young woman's justice and accelerating accountability for doctors who medically harm vulnerable children. Nathanael Blake
Forming young men will be a lot easier if we remove the filth that is choking out loving and flourishing complementary relationships between men and women.

Synopsis: Dr. Jack Kevorkian was a very polite human being, especially towards his clients. He was very considerate of his clients feelings, and he was unwilling to oppose his will to theirs. He did not hold negative or adverse feelings towards any of them, but he hated them entirely

Rather than emphasizing the church as a sacramental reality imbued with the presence of God, or a conception of the church as a pilgrim people, Pope Francis voiced a preference for the church as a field hospital with a battlefield task: Heal the wounds! Start from the ground up. Encounter those on the margins. Accompany those who feel left out. Dot McGinnis

Phrases like 'good governance' are often used in less developed countries without attaching a specific meaning to them. The experience of the present government in Sri Lanka is a clear example of this. Carolyn Moynihan
We all know that kids use their phones too much. They are too much on Snapchat or texting their friends. They would take their phones to bed if no-one stopped them and never sleep if the bodily need for slumber did not overpower them. They are exposed to cyberbullying and tempted to over-expose themselves.

Earlier this week, we released a report outlining some of the horrors of India's sterilization camps. We called the world's attention to the US Agency for International Development's complicity in coercive sterilization camps in India. Among the evidence was a report published by the OECD describing a multi-million dollar program by USAID to reduce fertility in India.

Obviously there can be good reasons for introducing a step-parent into the home. Traditionally remarriage was considered the best thing for the children when a father lost his wife in childbirth or she died for some other reason. Similarly for a widow (my own paternal grandmother was a case in point). A lot has changed since then and the good of the children is not always uppermost in the minds of adults contemplating remarriage; it really should be. Shenan J. Boquet
France recently announced that the number of births in the nation has dropped to the lowest level since World War II. In 2023, less than 700,000 births were recorded in the country, a drop of 20% since 2010, and a number that hadn't been seen since 1944. With an overall fertility rate of 1.68 children born per woman, France's fertility rate is higher than many European countries, but far below the replacement fertility rate of 2.1. How astonishing, therefore, to read that this past week the French Parliament voted overwhelmingly to add a "right" to abortion to the nation's Constitution - becoming the first nation in the world to take this radical step.

Over 600,000 Rohingya refugees crossed the border from Myanmar to Bangladesh since the end of August -- joining the 200,000 who were already there. Ann Farmer
