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.

Sex-Affirming Care vs "Gender-Affirming Care"

I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth
Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control.

Who Decides When A Life Is Valuable?

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."

Ethical Perspectives

New! A Father's Cry

Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.

New! War, Restraint, and the Christian Conscience

Russell L. Lackey

Only a revitalization of the richness of Christian marriage will suffice as a bulwark against the insanity, exploitation, and selfishness of the gender and sexual revolutions.

New! Physician-Assisted Suicide and Death Tourism: Fake Choices and Dangerous Abuses

William Lawyer
Over the last few years, the United States has seen a significant increase in the number of states allowing physician-assisted suicide. Similar to euthanasia, where a doctor intentionally causes a patient?s death, physician-assisted suicide involves the prescription of lethal drugs that patients can then take themselves.

A Coronavirus Vaccine Containing Aborted Baby Cells? Yes.

Judie Brown
A dear friend recently reacted to Bishop Joseph Strickland's statement that he "will refuse" a potential vaccine for the coronavirus if it is made using tissue from "aborted children."

"Prophylactic" Sterilization Illicit

Anthony Zimmerman
The temptation to sterilize women en masse at Catholic hospitals is momentarily awesome, overwhelming, intimidating, like a destructive tidal wave poised to strike - a tsunami.

How to Think About Discrimination: Race, Sex, and SOGI

Ryan T. Anderson
Sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) antidiscrimination laws are unjustified, but if other policies are adopted to address the mistreatment of people who identify as LGBT, they must leave people free to engage in legitimate actions based on the conviction that we are created male and female and that male and female are created for each other.

Currently in Malaysia, many fertility clinics strongly encourage and even push their patients to do highly expensive preimplantation genetic testing of their IVF embryos, technically referred to as PGT-A or PGS.

Bad news day for witch-hunters as Regnerus is vindicated

Michael Kirke
The University of Texas - Austin has done a thoroughly good piece of work in vindicating Professor Mark Regnerus in the face of allegations of what amounted to professional misconduct. Perhaps its officials feel it is a pity that they cannot make counter-charges of time-wasting against those who trumped up the charges against him.

Protecting Abortion, Forbidding Grief

Nancy Valko
A few years ago I was attending a concert at my daughter's high school when I asked her about a particularly lovely girl who played the violin beautifully. My daughter responded that she was considered the class "slut". At only 14 years of age! This horrible designation was not the result of boys talking but rather because of a secret abortion confided to a close friend who told others. Soon the story sped throughout the school, victimizing this poor child even more. But it soon became even worse.

Moral and Pastoral Reflections

Modern medical technology seems to confront us with many questions not faced even a decade ago. Corresponding changes in medical practice have benefited many, but have also prompted fears by some that they will be aggressively treated against their will or denied the kind of care that is their due as human persons with inherent dignity. Current debates about life-sustaining treatment suggest that our society's moral reflection is having difficulty keeping pace with its technological progress.

We need to end the death penalty now
Arguments to end the death penalty 10 years ago are even stronger today

Charles J. Chaput
The death penalty is a bad idea because it diminishes the society that employs it. It doesn't deter capital crime. It doesn't bring back the dead. It doesn't give anyone "peace." It sometimes kills the innocent. It coarsens our own humanity and sense of justice. And while both Scripture and long Catholic tradition do support the legitimacy of capital punishment in extraordinary cases, the conditions that would justify its use in developed countries like the United States almost never exist.
