"My Voice, My Choice" and the Silence Beneath It
The Church reminds the modern world that voice itself is a gift, received before it is exercised. Perhaps the most urgent question is not whose voice will prevail, but whether we still remember the One who spoke us into being. Pope Leo Blasts Abortion: "Every Human Life Must be Safeguarded From Conception"
The Pope told Spanish lawmakers that ?every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence.? The Porn Industry Doesn't Just Sell Sex, It Sells Violent Abuse of Women
Violence against women is common in mainstream pornography, yet many viewers may not recognize how frequently aggression is portrayed as normal or desirable. This article explores the research on violence in porn and examines how repeated exposure to these messages can influence attitudes toward women, sex, and consent. Aborting Babies Because They Have Down Syndrome is Wrong. Period. End of Story
Targeting unborn children for abortion because they carry an extra chromosome is wrong. Period. End of story. Pope Leo XIV: 'The elderly can be life teachers'
"The elderly, in serene acceptance of the limitations imposed by the passing years--without hiding them or being ashamed of them--can be life teachers, able to show everyone--and especially young people--that the value of a life is not measured by efficiency or self-sufficiency, but by the capacity to love and to be loved, to give and to receive." U.S. bishops consecrate nation to Sacred Heart of Jesus
The U.S. bishops consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, entrusting the United States to Christ's merciful love during a solemn Mass as part of their spring plenary assembly. When it Comes to Abortion, Men Should Have a Voice Too
We've collectively been so inundated with the "fact" that abortion is a "woman's decision" that it's difficult to remember that this is an absurd proposition on a gazillion different levels. 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. More Headlines…

Editorial
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."

By re-energizing a state's pro-life base and attracting enough swing voters to tip the scales, the movement can make real, even if "imperfect," progress toward ending elective abortion in America. Emily Hancock
AI can shift how we communicate with one another, what work looks like for many roles, how relationships unfold, and how we order our lives. Much of our reaction to these projects reflects the understanding that this technology has the power to reshape the way humanity marches into the future, and not always in a way that serves the greater good. Bill Muehlenberg
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age. Gregory E. Ganssle
Both Jesus and Nietzsche announce in the same sort of bold terms their own visions of life and death; prosperity and adversity. They set before us two paths to consider: one leading toward the flourishing life and one leading toward death. One toward liberation and one into oppression. Which path will we choose? Shenan J. Boquet
Euthanasia is a false solution to the drama of suffering, a solution that is not worthy of man. The real answer cannot be, in fact, to give death, as 'gentle' as this may be, but to testify to the love that helps us to face pain and agony in a humane way.

Take advantage of this time to enrich family life and reach out to others. C. Ward Kischer
Development is an integrated biological progression of events, involving each cell, tissue, organ and organ system, all dependent on their preceding events for any particular biological significance. If these events are of proper significance to policy formulation and law making in deciding whether the embryo or fetus may be disposed of with impunity, they must be considered "in toto" and in context of a "continuum". No point, time or stage of our development stands alone to the exclusion of all others to be judged relevant or irrelevant to any socio-legal consideration. Anthony Zimmerman
The articles appeared monthly during January-November 1965, and there is one of April, 1966. Some are now quaint and outdated, but they open a view on affairs as they looked 35 years ago. Xavier Symons
Russian scientists claim to have discovered liquid woolly mammoth blood in a frozen carcase in Siberia, which would make cloning a real possibility. Love Into Light
A Christian Approach to Homosexuality Eric Metaxas
Too often, opinions about how the Church should respond to homosexuality fall into two diametrically opposed camps: one side urges us to cast aside, or at least downplay, what the scriptures and the Church have taught for two thousand years in the hope of "saving the brand." Asia Human Rights
These two cases separated by almost a decade,are far more than a statistic of ordinary crime, such as that committed in a fit of rage or planned in cold blood; they are a comment on the very body politic of the republic.

Does Islamic law itself justify early abortions? Could the current change in abortion law in Iran (see news article below) be just the first step toward justifying the use of abortifacients, genetic pre-selection, human cloning, human embryonic stem cell research, human genetic engineering, etc.?

Please tell me Lord, where is Your sea; Your "Sea of Forgetfulness." Steven Mosher
Europe will be losing 3 to 4 million people a year by mid-century. Asia will be close behind, as the voluntary childlessness of the Japanese is matched by the force-pace population reduction in China's one-child policy. China's population will peak at 1.5 billion in 2020 or so, and then dramatically shrink. By mid-century, Europe and Asia could be losing a quarter of its population each generation. Asia Human Rights
Jammu and Kashmir has seen an estimated 70,000 killed, 8000 disappeared, and countless tortured and victims of sexual violence.
