"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.

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."
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Stephen G. Gilles 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.
Asia Human Rights The border regions of India are manned by members of the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, who are always heavily armed, and wield significant power over the residents of these border villages. Asia Human Rights In this short essay, we use advocacy to mean those efforts to promote understanding and to win support for matters relating to human dignity, equality before the law and respect for human rights. This unique use of the meaning of the term advocacy needs to be thoroughly grasped in attempting to evolve the methods pertaining to the various measures that are taken for such advocacy. A.I.R.V.S.C. The following studies provide details about the extent to which induced abortion, including repeated abortions, are involved in population control; the various techniques used to carry out population control policies; the characteristics of Chinese women who obtain abortions; additional moral and ethical issues related to abortion, such as coerced abortions; sex-selection abortions; and late term abortions. A subsequent article will describe some of the adverse physical, psychological, social and reproductive effects of induced abortion on Chinese women and children. Douglas McManaman Consider the pain of wanting to right certain wrongs that we recognize we were responsible for, but are unable to right immediately. A person with a just will refuses to accept rest until those wrongs and the damage they have caused are made right, which is why the souls in purgatory accept their suffering -- caused by the knowledge of those wrongs -- until all of them are made right, which in most cases would take decades, some even centuries. The essence of purgatory's sorrow is summed up by poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-92): "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'" James Parker Parents need to wake up to the possibility of LGBTQ+ indoctrinationg. Xavier Symons The Dutch Voluntary End of Life Association (NVVE) is rolling out is latest project to bolster public support and acceptance of euthanasia - a school curriculum program called 'euthanasia - dead normal'.
Sheila Liaugmina On this journey, Pope Francis took two notable friends from Argentina: Rabbi Abraham Skorka and Sheikh Omar Abboud. What did that mean, and what did it accomplish? Judie Brown When The Babylon Bee published the satirical piece entitled "Serial Killer Released after Explaining Murder Was Only 3% of What He Did," a strange reaction occurred in my brain as I thought about Planned Parenthood's phony claim that only three percent of its business is aborting children. Shannon Roberts India's growth, once the horror of the alarmist West, is slowing sharply. In fact, the 2019 Economic Survey conducted by the Indian Ministry of Finance predicts that the country's fertility rate will fall below the replacement rate (generally regarded to be 2.1 children per woman) as soon as 2021. Judith Reisman Groomed at younger and younger ages to be sexually active, the students of modern sex education are being set up for exploitation by predators even as they are taught to exploit each other. And they will continue to suffer the consequences. As long ago as 1994, even the Guttmacher Institute acknowledged that approximately one in four sexually active teens were contracting a sexually transmitted disease each year.
