After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'." Climate alarm 'blaring from every direction' Climate-driven disasters are reaching "nightmare proportions" due to humanity's "addiction" to fossil fuels, a top UN official warned on Tuesday. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion. The active agents in mifepristone - the first of the two "abortion pills" - remain active post-excretion, i.e., they enter public water systems. The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents. Colorado Teen Dies From Planned Parenthood Abortion. Media Is Mum A Colorado teen died after undergoing an abortion through Planned Parenthood, though the media and local officials have tried to bury the story. Doctors Oppose South Korea Plan to Promote Abortion Pills A coalition of medical professionals, pro-life advocates, and the director of the Catholic Institute of Bioethics held a press conference in Seoul, Korea on Wednesday to "slam the South Korean government's move to review the possible legalization of abortion pills, emphasizing protection of pregnant women and children," according to UCA News. School Districts Stonewalling Parents Despite SCOTUS Rulings Despite the Supreme Court rulings affirming parental rights in Mirabelli and Mahmoud, public school districts continue to hide student?s "gender identity" from parents. IVF Kills More Unborn Babies Than Planned Parenthood
If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood? Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital A baby born weighing barely a pound at just 22 weeks gestation has finally been sent home after months in hospital, making him the most premature baby to survive at the hospital where he was born. Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested. Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life. More Headlines…

Editorial
Imagine a young married couple. They have dreamed of having children since the day they were married. Month after month they hope, pray, and wait?but nothing happens. Eventually, their doctor suggests in vitro fertilization (IVF). Friends encourage them to try it. Social media is full of happy stories about babies born through IVF. It seems like the obvious answer.
In recent decades, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become one of the most widely accepted ways for couples struggling with infertility to have children. Millions celebrate IVF as a scientific miracle that fulfills the dream of parenthood. The pain of infertility is real, and every couple who longs for a child deserves compassion, understanding, and support. However, compassion should never prevent us from asking an important moral question: Does every technological possibility respect the dignity of human life?
From a Catholic perspective, the answer is not simply whether IVF works, but whether it respects God's plan for human life and the dignity of every child. Two serious concerns arise. First, IVF attempts to replace God's design for the beginning of human life. Second, it risks treating unborn babies as products that can be created, selected, bought, sold, or discarded according to human preferences.

Tollefsen There is no guarantee that the bioethics of our future will live up to America's founding promises and insights. Those of us concerned that such a bioethics should exist must, as Lincoln said in honoring the dead of Gettysburg, "be dedicated to the unfinished work" of creating, sustaining, and defending that bioethics. It will be no small task, but I hope to have given some sense of what the shape of that task must be. Siobhan Heekin-Canedy Perhaps the greatest lesson we can learn from the Olympian mothers is that women are more than their bodies, and that we are all called to integrated human excellence, body and soul. Mark Bauerlein What counts as serious? At what point does difficulty signal a disability? Much of that is up to the disabled one, whose lived experience is decisive. Judie Brown Life is indeed in God's mind sacred from conception, and as it is a unique act of creation of a new person, God alone is the final author of how conception is to take place for those who read, believe and care deeply for the word of God.
Dianne N. Irving So you think that Gnosticism (meaning "secret knowledge") is passe? Indeed, the world is drowning in it! See here some of the Gnostic jewelry sites currently online -- pointed out to me by the university students I was teaching (!). The consequences of Gnosticism and its mythologies are disastrous and even deadly. But if people don't know what Gnosticism is, then they can't recognize it and refute it. Carolyn Moynihan ...it is precisely because of their reproductive role, their capacity to be mothers, that we expect women to be gentler, kinder and even "better" than men -- and are shocked when they are not. Gender theorists are trying to persuade us that no such thing as "normal female behaviour" exists, and the Nazi women and the female abortionists seem to prove their point. Substantial numbers -- even majorities -- of people, however, are as unhappy about the latter as the former. Their noses tell them its wrong, it is the world turned upside down. Michael Cook A Brazilian doctor is being investigated for the murders of more than 300 intensive care patients. Dr Virginia Soares de Souza, 56, and seven members of her medical team allegedly administered a muscle-relaxant drug which impaired patients' ability to breathe and then reduced their oxygen supply, causing them to die of asphyxiation. John and Evelyn Billings The Guidelines ot the Billings Ovulation Method and their Physiological Basis, with Particular Reference to Breast Feeding
Steven Mosher Heartbeat legislation, which places restrictions on abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, continues to move forward. The month of March has been particularly busy
Denyse O’Leary The explosion of Internet dating affects teens and young adults principally by making the casual sharing of intimacies with strangers seem normal. Aldous Huxley foresaw this development (1932), though he envisioned it happening in half a millennium or so. One outcome is the mainstreaming of porn.
Michael Cook Will they be hounded out of their profession? For years bioethicists of a utilitarian cast have argued that conscientious objection has no place in medicine. Now Canadian courts are beginning to put their stamp of approval on the extinction of doctors' right to refuse to kill their patients. Daniel Philpott When the champions of human rights promote rights that are not grounded in natural law, they undermine their credibility to speak for all human beings. Those who understand the truth about human rights - as every rational person has the capacity to do - will cease to trust the human rights community. Michael Cook French President François Hollande wants a national debate on euthanasia so that parliament can vote on it before the end of the year. Michael Kirke Clearly, what we are confronted with here is more of the same - phony principles, redefinition of that basic building brick of community, the family, and therefore a very wobbly definition of society itself.
