Hospitals Profited From Harmful Surgeries on Minors
'Catholic teaching is clear: these medical and surgical interventions are immoral and offend human dignity,' Hasson continued. 'This report should move every Catholic to condemn the exploitative practices of the gender industry and recognize the harm done to vulnerable people.' Nazis Euthanized Disabled Children, Now the Netherlands is Doing It
The report justifies the killing based on the child being born prematurely and having significant disabilities. But the child had lived approximately 2-years-old, meaning, that the killing was actually based on the disabilities since the child had survived two years since birth. Haiti: Child malnutrition crisis worsens amid escalating violence
Haiti is facing a worsening child malnutrition crisis, with an estimated 253,725 children aged 6 to 59 months projected to suffer from acute malnutrition between June 2026 and May 2027, new UN-backed analysis has revealed. Setting the Bar
What happened to us? How did our natural instinct to rage against the dying of the light, and with it, humane treatment of the vulnerable, slip away? What are we aspiring to? Who's setting the bar? The Problem with Offering Abortion First
In the waiting room, she kept her eyes fixed on her lap. No one knew she was here: not her mom, not her dad, not her best friends. Only her boyfriend, who was splitting the cost with her. ... "As scars heal, the inflammation will slowly fade, but we retain the mark for the rest of our lives," my mother tells me. "Not of shame, but of regret for the unfixable, unchangeable decision made out of fear." With Pro-Abortion Speech Law, New Jersey's War on Women Continues
According to the Catholic News Agency, the bill will implement a sort of "bubble" zone around reproductive health centers. It "criminalizes 'interference' with 'reproductive' or 'gender-affirming' care," as well as "inflicting 'emotional harm' against those seeking or providing 'reproductive health care services.' It also bans filming and sharing videos within 100 feet of an abortion clinic." Massachusetts Takes Daughter from Catholic Parents for Refusing to Affirm Trans Identity
A Catholic couple in Massachusetts had their daughter taken away by the state under the guise of child abuse after refusing to affirm her so-called transgender identity. 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.

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.

The new law permits an adult to request death if he or she is a French citizen or stable legal resident, suffers from a serious and incurable illness that is advanced and life-threatening, experiences physical or psychological suffering deemed unbearable or resistant to treatment, and is judged capable of making a free and informed decision. Lori Hadacek Chaplin
Understanding that both the suffering and their caregivers experience loneliness and isolation, a new Catholic ministry called The Peace in the Storm Project aims to accompany them both to help foster faith, fellowship, and peace. The project, founded in 2023 by Catholic author Maureen Pratt, is available to dioceses, parishes, and individuals. Brian Clowes
Ancient and modern Catholic bishops and theologians have consistently condemned the practice of contraception since the founding of the Church. Since the reign of Pope Pius IX, when the question of contraception was first raised in modern times, more than thirty Church documents have stated that Catholics must not use it. Mike Johns
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.

In a culture with so many shades of gray and with people caring mainly for themselves and looking out for their own interests, is it any wonder that most people are able to accept the slaughter of preborn babies in at least some cases? When will people wake up and realize that this death sentence imposed upon preborn babies is a sickening act that will lead to the downfall of morals within our society? Natural Family Planning
When Natural Family Planning is used to avoid a pregnancy or to space the number of children when there are justifying reasons to do so, it is free of the detrimental moral and physical elements which are so intrinsic to artificial methods. Natural Family Planning is a method of spacing births that fully respects the beauty of human sexuality according to the design of God. But NFP is more than a technique of family planning it is actually a way of life.

The enemy's goal is to undermine real marriage and the family. We must resist him with every fibre of our being - through speaking up for the truth and by faithfully upholding God's model in our personal lives and Christian communities. Carolyn Moynihan
The Cosmopolitan editor's sexual agenda has been a spectacular failure for women. What a shame it obscured some rather good advice. Maurizio P. Faggioni
The crucial ethical and Iegal issue is the recognition of the human quality of the embryo and the conviction that "the fruit of human generation from the first moment of its existence, that is to say, from the moment the zygote has formed, demands the unconditional respect that is morally due to the human being in his bodily and spiritual totality." Douglas McManaman
It is difficult to believe that some Catholics have begun to talk about the COVID-19 as a divine chastisement. This is a very Old Testament mindset, and it is a dangerous posture, but one that is very attractive to those of a fundamentalist bent. Louis T. March
The decline in faith has precipitated a drop in procreation. Carson Holloway
The oral arguments on Proposition 8 at the Supreme Court suggest that there is very good reason to believe that the declaration of a "right" to same-sex marriage will set us on the path to polygamy. Judie Brown
Lent is about halfway through, and we draw nearer to the day when Our Lord gave His life to save us from our sins. Yet our society daily tempts us to draw closer and embrace those sins. In fact, it is doing almost everything in its power to discard morality and God. William Huang
For years now, South Korea has been a poster child for extreme low fertility. Its total fertility rate (TFR) tumbled to 0.72 in 2023 and continues to fall. (To maintain its population, a country needs to have a TFR of 2.1.) Even more shocking is that not a single province managed to break the TFR level of 1. The country's "highest" fertility rate is in the rural province of Jeolla-namdo - only 0.97.
