Father's Heartbreaking Letter to His Aborted Daughter: "Goodbye, Darling Pilgrim, I love you - - Dad." He began his column with this question: "What do you tell an unborn daughter that was aborted 40 years ago by its mother?" Softball Hall of Famer on the Future of Men in Women's Sports - 'Girls Are Going to Get Wiped Out' As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up. After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'." Climate alarm 'blaring from every direction' Climate-driven disasters are reaching "nightmare proportions" due to humanity's "addiction" to fossil fuels, a top UN official warned on Tuesday. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion. The active agents in mifepristone - the first of the two "abortion pills" - remain active post-excretion, i.e., they enter public water systems. The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents. Colorado Teen Dies From Planned Parenthood Abortion. Media Is Mum A Colorado teen died after undergoing an abortion through Planned Parenthood, though the media and local officials have tried to bury the story.

Editorial
Remembering the People: Today, as we remember Nagasaki, I do not want simply to speak about an event in history. I want us to remember people - fathers and mothers, children and grandparents, students and workers, priests and religious sisters - whose lives were suddenly destroyed on August 9, 1945.
As a Catholic priest who has lived and served in Japan for 61 years, I have come to understand that Nagasaki is not simply a place on a map. Nagasaki is a sacred place of memory. It is a place where the history of Japan, the history of the Catholic Church, and the tragedy of war come together. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Ben Peterson The war on spiritual poverty is worth fighting, and we need foot soldiers and generals who are willing to wage it. Shenan J. Boquet Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty. Dan Hart Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws. Roi Yozevitch An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic. Joseph A. DeAngelo The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.
Ron Panzer What can we learn from history? Those who create policy in government need to be people of integrity, who value the lives of the people and honor the divine and the natural moral law. When they are not, each of us must still choose to honor God by how we live, wherever we serve in society - or choose to go along with terrible evil that harms or even kills others. Each of us is responsible for our own choices. With peer pressure comes the opportunity to show what kind of individual we choose to be. Dianne N. Irving It is not that Dr. Cobbe is pointing out anything new and unknown about human cloning to his research colleagues; they know the accurate objective scientific facts and the details of the studies to which he refers. Rather, it is that finally Dr. Cobbe is publishing (for the world to see) the massive problems that his colleagues have refused to articulate or admit to all these many years.
Gavan Jennings The transgender revolution is just one facet of the larger revolution of the self in the Western world. Steven Mosher We all remember Obama's campaign rhetoric. "This election is not just about playing defense, it's also about playing offense," he said to cheers and shouts from Planned Parenthood in 2007. "When the real war is being fought abroad, they would have us fight 'culture wars' here at home. But I am absolutely convinced that culture wars are 'just so nineties.'" E. Christian Brugger In mammals -- and so humans -- parthenogenesis refers to a process in which an egg (oocyte) begins to divide without being fertilized by a male sperm. Since mamalian reproduction is sexual, parthenogenesis in humans is a profoundly abnormal process. Although we use the same term as we do with insects and lizards, we don't know if true reproduction ever takes place in human parthenogenesis. By "reproduction" I mean embryogenesis, the coming into existence of an embryo, not full-term fetal development, which, because the developmental potential of an unfertilized human oocyte is very minimal, is probably not possible. Carolyn Moynihan Family stability is good for kids growing up, and having your own two parents still around as a teenager indicates stability. So, what is the recipe for that kind of success?
Latino Literature on the Life Issues:
Commentary on Tato Laviera's "Jesús Papote," Judith Ortiz Cofer's "Silent Dancing," and Bella
Jeff J. Koloze Now that Latinos are the dominant minority in the United States, and are becoming much more integrated into American society, one can expect a deluge of narratives on the first life issue of abortion. Moreover, as Latinos become further integrated into American society, their exposure to the remaining two life issues (infanticide and euthanasia) could follow the sociological trend of other ethnic groups which - secularized, focused on material comforts, and bereft of their ethnic identities - adopted infanticide and euthanasia positions contrary to those of their cultural and religious heritages. Alternatively, if Latinos retain their positive and life-affirming values, then the anti-life philosophy which seems ascendant in American society may find a worthy adversary in a culture that has promoted respect for family and life for the past five hundred years and has demonstrated no inclination yet to abandon those values.
Xavier Symons Strict new abortion clinic laws are now in effect in Pensylvania, following the 2010 exposure of Dr. Kermit Gosnell's infamous Women's Medical Society abortion clinic. Anthony Zimmerman Here Matthew writes about Matthew, in a document destined for the world to see, during all generations until the end of time. Michael Cook It's easy to imagine a situation where pressure would be put on patients, who are not economically profitable, in order to persuade them to end their life. Such pressure is absolutely immoral. But there have been voices who were actually calling for such pressure.
