Palliative medicine and its ethical commitment to care for people
Palliative Care is the ethical commitment of a society that is sensitive to the suffering of its citizens. When medicine has failed to prevent or cure a disease, the physician must commit to caring for and supporting the person suffering from the disease in order to alleviate their suffering. It is then that we must adopt an ethical perspective on ? Mifepristone in emergency contraception: a new threat to the embryo
A recent meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of low-dose mifepristone as an emergency contraceptive compared to other interventions. Beyond its effectiveness in reducing pregnancy rates, its mechanism of action and ability to interfere with endometrial receptivity has reignited the debate surrounding its bioethical implications and the information women receive about its possible effects. Men Can't Make a Mother's Milk
As both a mother and a perinatal nurse with extensive training in breast feeding and lactation, I find myself nauseous over the headlines I am reading regarding the assertions from an NHS Trust that milk produced through drug-induced lactation by men is just as advantageous for infants as milk from women or mothers. Men Breastfeeding?
It is well established that breastfeeding is beneficial to both infants and mothers and that breastmilk (from a woman) is the gold standard form of nutrition for babies. Two buses, an apartment block - Ukraine's civilians suffer under Russian assault
As Russia steps up its wave of deadly attacks in Ukraine, civilians are increasingly paying the price. According to the UN, Ukraine saw more civilians killed by August this year than in all of 2025. Thursday saw another such attack: in the eastern front-line city of Kramatorsk, a Russian glide bomb assault on two buses killed at least 30 people. This comes a day after a five-storey block of flats in Pryluky, east of Kyiv, was hit, killing 22 people in the early hours. "Once again, the Russians have struck a location where there are absolutely no military targets," Kramatorsk's city council said. Congressman Slams Abortion: "Babies Deserve Better Than to be Flushed Down the Toilet"
As you know, pregnancy care centers are on the front lines of providing compassionate care to mothers and their precious children--offering free support and resources, which can range from pregnancy tests and ultrasounds to parental education programs and lactation consultations, and much more. Transgender is a Symptom
"Since trans is really a symptom, the goal should never be automatic affirmation, nor should it be to dismiss the person as mentally ill. The goal should be understanding the individual beneath the identity. We should be asking difficult questions about what needs are going unmet and why the transgender identity became so appealing in the first place. "Transgender identification is the visible expression of deeper struggles. If we truly want to help people, we must look beyond the label, beyond the ideology, and beyond the symptom itself. Then, the real sources of distress can be understood, addressed, and resolved." - Pamela Garfield-Jaeger Canada backs off on euthanasia for mental illness, but targets people with dementia.
Some are celebrating Canada's government "indefinitely suspending" legalizing euthanasia for mental illness as a great victory for life. Not me. No, Parents Shouldn't Be Browbeaten into 'Affirming' Their Gender-Dysphoric Children
Rarely does a single journal article capture the full range of intellectual errors committed by pediatric 'gender' activists. A June 2026 'clinical perspective' in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry comes very close. A mere glance at Michal J. McDowell et al.'s 'Using a Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Model to Join Caregivers of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth' is enough to alert the reader that he or she is in strange territory indeed. Children Bring Higher Meaning and Purpose to Life
Conventional wisdom holds that children bring a special kind of existential purpose into the lives of their parents. A Pew survey of 17 countries found that 'family and children' was by far the most commonly selected source of meaning in life, and a survey of Greeks found that 87% of parents marked 'giving meaning to life' as an advantage of having children.

Editorial
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...

AI will make many cognitive techniques obsolete, and preserving them for their own sake would mistake difficulty for formation. Schools and workplaces should instead preserve or rebuild the learning functions that cultivate judgment, prudence, and human agency. John F. Doherty
If America's unity frays, the problem is probably not its diversity, but that America needs its many cultural groups - and perhaps new ones - to contribute more of their special strengths to public life. 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. Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance.

As sensible pro-life people who choose not to be mainstreamed by the contortions of the media, we proclaim that our work to defend innocent human persons occurs because we are all children of God and therefore individually far more important than a number in a math equation. John Stonestreet
Technology is designed to be addictive. With every tap, click, and like, our brain chemistry, which is supposed to spur us on to action, is instead keeping us on our phones. As Lembke writes, "The quantity, variety, and potency of [these highly addicting] behaviors has never been greater." Anthony Zimmerman
How to establish a communications system to carry Catholic culture in the USA? Glenn Stanton
Religious belief and activity - particularly prayer - matter in important ways. They make a deeply practical difference in how husband and wife interact with each other in daily life. Helen Alvaré
The first part of this series summarized two centuries of Supreme Court opinions identifying the state's interest in marriage with its interests in children, their formation for self-government, and the building of a decentralized society. Today, however, those who demand state recognition of same-sex marriage either ignore or minimize the relationship between marriage law and children's welfare. In light of the Supreme Court decisions discussed here yesterday, this seems a foolish strategy, bound to fail. Nathanael Blake
June 24th is the feast day marking the birth of John the Baptist, and it is also the anniversary of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade's false declaration that there is a constitutional right to abortion. John the Baptist is an appropriate hero of faith for us this month: he began his life as a witness for the sanctity of unborn life, and ended it as a martyr for marriage. Asia Human Rights
The government of Nepal has been repeatedly throttling the civil society, media and human rights organizations in Nepal. Steven Mosher
The poll, conducted May 7-10, found that 51% of Americans are now "calling themselves 'pro-life' on the issue of abortion and 42% 'pro-choice.' According to Gallup, this is "the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995." Steven Mosher
In violation of the First Amendment, President Obama has ordered all Catholic nonprofits to provide their employees with so-called "modern methods of birth control." Even the openly abortifacient Morning After Pill is supposed to be included. It is "preventative health care," he claims, and must be "free" for the asking. Eric Metaxas
Last week, the President threw America's parents and their daughters under a bus. And I'm hopping mad about it - and not just because I have a young daughter of my own.
