France's euthanasia law is disturbing.
We are horrified by the implementation of this law in France and are gravely concerned with the countless French citizens who are now at risk of deadly harm, particularly people with disabilities. Mail Order Abortions Kill Babies, Hurt Women and Break the Law
Last week, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a new report: "Mifepristone Without Guardrails: An Investigation Into How Chemical Abortion Drug Makers Are Putting Mothers and Babies At Risk." The report confirms what many in the pro-life movement had already suspected -- mifepristone manufacturers are contributing to the current abortion drug crisis. Doctors are Pushing Patients to Starve Themselves to Death
Many Western countries and jurisdictions are legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. That opens up a problem for the death pushers. Since states aren't going to get into the wet work of the actual killing, medical professionals and caregivers are going to be conscripted to do the deadly deeds -- even if that means violating their religious beliefs and moral consciences. Catholic teaching on IVF leads physician to a new path in fertility care
In light of the recent attention drawn to increasing IVF and fertility insurance coverage around the nation, the Florida Catholic explores the decisions of doctors to change course, Church teaching on the matter, and moral issues at stake in a series of articles. This is the first. Hong Kong judges uphold Cardinal Zen's conviction over fund to help protesters
A panel of three appellate judges in Hong Kong this week upheld convictions for retired Cardinal Joseph Zen and four other pro-democracy advocates who operated a legal defense and medical fund that supported people engaged in widespread protests in 2019 and 2020. Girls Just Want a Locker Room
I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. A crowd showed up to support Sophie Cunningham and a pretty uncomplicated proposition: girls deserve locker rooms and sports of their own. Another crowd showed up to oppose them. And based on what I watched, some of the descriptions of the demonstration don't look much like the video. What a Male Breastfeeding Image Reveals About the Transgender Movement
Conservatives may be tempted to laugh at the absurdity of a breastfeeding organization featuring a man attached to breast pumps, but we shouldn't simply move on--it reveals something important about the effect of transgenderism on America's institutions. First, what happened? Confusing the innocent
Australia now has a confused generation of teenagers raised in the shadow of gender identity divorced from biological reality, according to Professor Emerita of Psychology Dianna Kenny. ...The definitions of 'man' and 'woman' were removed from the law. As a new protected attribute, the concept of gender identity uncoupled from biological sex was introduced. Abortion now leading cause of death in Scotland, a new analysis of data has revealed
According to the most recent data published by Public Health Scotland, there were 18,783 terminations of pregnancy recorded in a single year. ...When these figures are integrated into wider human mortality data from the National Records of Scotland--where all cancers combined accounted for 16,486 deaths recorded in Scotland in 2025, ischaemic heart disease for 7,000 deaths and dementia accounting for 6,612 deaths--the loss of unborn life stands as the highest single source of mortality in the nation. This Isn't Healthcare: How the abortion pill kills and injures
Heavily marketed as 'safe and effective,' the abortion pill has rapidly grown in popularity among women seeking abortions. It now accounts for about 65% of all abortions. Pro-abortion groups portray the abortion pill as just another 'treatment,' even using the moniker 'medication abortion.' But medication is meant to heal, not intentionally harm. The abortion pill is not healthcare. More Headlines…

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

It is in the martyrs, both those who have shed their blood for God but also those martyrs of "everyday life," the martyrs of charity, that we most clearly behold the splendor and magnificence of humanity. Dan Hart
New data shows that more Americans now use marijuana daily than smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, as experts debate whether the trend will last. Douglas McManaman
A non-repressed and openly gay Catholic is one who can live that faith without looking at women as inferiors, but as equals, who is free from the need to create and control an environment that fuels an unhealthy narcissism that exploits others, and who lives in hope and with a healthy self-esteem, and yes, a certain degree of pride. Marianna Orlandi
Technology is not our problem. Our problem is an obsessive concern for our own good, our distrust of others, and the terror of losing ourselves. No algorithm will solve this. Steven Mosher
Monty Patterson loved being a dad with his whole heart. So when a nurse called to tell him that his 18-year-old daughter, Holly, was in the ICU, he dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. That day quickly became the worst of his life.

James Jay Lee was not operating in a vacuum. Quite the contrary, individuals with similar viewpoints, though apparently not as radical or physically violent in their behavior as Lee, are making statements that convey this same diabolical hatred toward the human person. Judie Brown
We all know how easy it is to become sensitized to something -- whether it be violence on TV, song lyrics on the radio, or something else entirely. But what kind of nation do we live in when we find the majority of people sensitized to the killing of innocent babies? For 40 years now, it has been legal for a mother to have her tiny child killed. For 40 years, too few tears have been shed for these babies. And now we discover a man like Kermit Gosnell, who devalues life so much that he stabs it out of a baby with a pair of scissors. This is what the last 40 years has brought us. What will happen in the next 40?

Bioethics is like ice cream: there are many different flavours on a common base. There is utilitarian bioethics, deontological bioethics, natural law bioethics, principalist bioethics, Islamic bioethics, and so on. What they have in common is that some things are moral and others are immoral. Michael Cook
Scientists are close to finding out how to create eggs and sperm in a Petri dish. Dianne N. Irving
As in most states, Catholics in Wisconsin no longer understand why IVF or other ARTs are morally objectionable because no one ever taught them why this is so, even in our "Catholic" schools. Also note here the now-familiar false science "language" used currently in human cloning debates: "In vitro fertilization is the process of extracting eggs from a woman's ovaries, fertilizing them with a man's sperm, choosing the most promising cell clusters and injecting several into the mother's uterus." These "most promising cell clusters" are not just cell clusters; they are living human beings, including the single-cell embryo. Small world. Judie Brown
In 1932 an experiment by our government involved a group of 600 impoverished black men, most of whom had the sexually transmitted disease syphilis, all of whom became human guinea pigs used at taxpayer expense for reasons that are both atrocious and inhumane.

A new Australian think tank has issued a call for the legalisation of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Dot McGinnis

Priests often ask me what they can do at the parish level to promote Humanae Vitae and Natural Family Planning. What must first be established is the importance of this task. I firmly believe that if priests inspired their parishioners to do just two things, most everything else they want to do with them and for them would be significantly easier. These two things are: Promoting Eucharistic Adoration and, promoting fidelity to the Church's teaching on sexuality. Ann Farmer
Documents have revealed that the FBI monitored traditionalist Catholic communities, citing old-fashioned liturgy as a potential extremism indicator, sparking concerns over religious profiling and political bias.
