With Abortion Pills, The Abortion Clinic Has Moved Into the Home
For most of the modern abortion debate, we could focus on a physical location. There was a clinic. There was a doctor. There were protesters outside and counselors nearby. Legislatures debated how those facilities should be regulated, courts debated what restrictions states could impose, and the pro-life movement organized much of its work around the places where abortions occurred. Increasingly, abortion doesn't take place in a designated space. It happens at home. Canadian Doctors Promote Plan to Euthanize Newborn Babies
A Quebec physicians' group is again promoting euthanasia for newborn babies, saying euthanasia can be an "appropriate treatment" for infants with severe disabilities or malformations even though Canadian law still forbids the practice and a baby cannot consent. Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever A growing body of research suggests that living near grandparents can have lasting benefits for parents, children, and family life as a whole. Mailed Abortion Pills, Part 2: Physical Perils and Mental Traumas The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against buying abortion pills through mail. On its website, it headlines a section, "FDA Does Not Recommend Buying Mifepristone Online." It elaborates "buying it online" means "bypassing important safeguards specifically designed to protect health." It comments there is no way to be certain any medication received through mail is safe. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue On June 5, 2026, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of herself and 13 other state attorneys general questioning whether "the abortion pill[1]" was contaminating American water. What does this mean? It means that, if ambient concentrations of mifepristone reach "sufficient concentration," it could affect pregnant women who unintentionally are exposed to it. Nor is there clear research about how it could affect "reproductive organ development and fertility," i.e., the next generation of young people entering puberty. British Medical Association Requires Doctors to Starve Patients to Death
The subtitle of the revised and updated version of my book criticizing utilitarian bioethics, Culture of Death, is, "The Age of 'Do Harm' Medicine." Helping patients kill themselves by self-starvation and dehydration -- known in euthanasia parlance as VSED (for voluntary stopping eating and drinking) -- certainly fits that designation. Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons The question Congress will have to answer is, "Who gets to deprive a preborn baby of his or her 5th Amendment right to life without due process?" The telemedicine company illegally shipping the drugs across state lines? The doctor? The abusive boyfriend or husband? The politician? The womb renters? The mother? National Day of Remembrance Will Mourn 66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions "Mourn for these children because they are members of the human family," Jansen said. "They were created in God's image like we were. They deserve to be mourned for." The joy of killing babies There are scenes that sum up the sickness of an era, and we saw one of them unfold in the office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Monday. She was at her desk, surrounded by beaming women. There was flashing and the sound of camera shutters; the governor bent over and signed a document. She nodded as the women broke out into laughter and applause. 'Thank you,' she said. ...The momentous event was Governor Healy's signing of the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which eliminated one of the state's last remaining abortion laws. If You Want To Be A Grandparent One Day, Raise Your Kids To Get Married And Want Babies ASAP If you'd rather spend your 60s holding grand-babies instead of watching your 30-something daughter livestream hormone injections, start laying the foundation for marriage and parenthood now.

Editorial
Through the Eyes of a Missionary Priest Working in Japan: Working in pro-life ministry for over 40 years as a Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate has given me the opportunity to meet people at almost every stage of life. I have shared the happiness of families welcoming a new baby. I have spent time with young people at Kochi University trying to figure out who they are and where their lives are going. During my many pro-life trips throughout Asia, I have visited people in hospitals, listened to those going through difficult times, and prayed with people nearing the end of their lives. All of these experiences have taught me something very simple but very important: human life is beautiful, and human life is sacred.
I think we sometimes forget this, especially in a world that is constantly telling us what a "successful" life should look like. We see it on social media, where everyone seems happy, attractive, and successful. Young people can begin to feel that their grades measure how intelligent they are, that getting the right job will determine whether they succeed in life, or even that the number of followers and "likes" they receive says something about their worth. Without realizing it, we can begin to feel that we have to prove ourselves. But our value as human beings does not depend on our grades, our appearance, our career, our popularity, or what other people think of us.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives 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. Glenn Stanton Pride Month 2026 marked the date on which two of its groundbreaking leaders publicly confessed their movement's ungovernable anthropological problem. Shenan J. Boquet On Wednesday, August 12, a baby boy was born three weeks early in a hospital near Dallas. This is hardly an unusual event. However, that this particular child was born was a near miracle. Baby Gabriel had been the target of a conspiracy against his life that nearly resulted in his destruction, and which has drawn international scrutiny of one of the darkest, and least-talked-about aspects of the surrogacy industry. David C. Reardon Using a topic-blind survey distributed to a national random sample of women, the researchers examined women's reproductive histories, abortion decision types, pre-abortion risk factors, and negative outcomes women attributed to their abortions. Among respondents, 22.6% reported a history of abortion, a rate that closely matches the Guttmacher Institute's national estimate. Nancy Valko Personally, I am not against all organ donation. In the past, I have offered to be a living donor for a friend who needed a kidney, watched my grandson cured of a rare disease through a bone marrow transplant and told my family that I wanted to donate my corneas and any other tissues that can be taken after natural death. I am open to new facts but, until then, I refuse an apnea test or any other test to specifically determine brain death if I have a severe brain injury.
Shenan J. Boquet Chemical abortion has provided the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry with the ability to expand abortion by involving more providers outside a traditional abortion business, like Planned Parenthood.
Michael Cook The prospect of "designer babies" is both a dream and a nightmare. For a growing number of companies, it is not just a dream, but the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Ben Terangi Even the most rusted-on Democrats used to argue that abortion should be "safe, legal and rare". The overthrow of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 returned abortion regulation to the states, prompting a rash of new legislation across the US in the months since. While many conservative-leaning states have moved to strengthen protections for the unborn, Ohio is the first to significantly buck that trend.
Proclaim Sermons Luke's account shows that even after Jesus had rejected the devil's offer of world power. Jesus' temptations continued all the way to the cross. As we begin Lent, we're reminded that temptations will continue through life, that we will sometimes fail and that because of Christ's faithfulness we can get back up when we fall.
Judie Brown You will probably remember the Disney character Cruella De Vil as the main evil character in the 1961 animated Disney classic 101 Dalmatians. Her name, a play on the words cruel and devil, stops us in our tracks. Proclaim Sermons Jesus concludes his discourse to his disciples about the future with a brief parable and the lessons they are to draw from it. We are to be alert, knowing what is going on in the world and thinking God is there. We know something that those first disciples didn't realize at the time: that God's work of new creation has already begun with the cross and resurrection of Christ. Knowing that, we are to watch for the signs that God is completing that work. Anthony Zimmerman Being myself a retired professor of moral theology in major seminaries, I initially oriented my writing for classroom work. Greatly encouraged by the observations of respected readers, I then revised the text to translate seminary lessons into a more readable form for a wider reading audience. This Chapter deals with Contraception.
Bill Muehlenberg Transgenderism and transhumanism are both on a roll, and I have often discussed them on my site. Of interest is how much the two are actually connected. They tend to play off each other, and we need to be aware of this. One new book powerfully makes this case. Michael Kirke A mother's death becomes instant propaganda for dismantling protection of unborn children. Xavier Symons A 35-year-old man who had been in a vegetative state for 15 years after a car accident has shown signs of consciousness after neurosurgeons implanted a nerve stimulator into his chest.
