No, Parents Shouldn't Be Browbeaten into 'Affirming' Their Gender-Dysphoric Children
Rarely does a single journal article capture the full range of intellectual errors committed by pediatric 'gender' activists. A June 2026 'clinical perspective' in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry comes very close. A mere glance at Michal J. McDowell et al.'s 'Using a Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy Model to Join Caregivers of Transgender and Gender Expansive Youth' is enough to alert the reader that he or she is in strange territory indeed. Children Bring Higher Meaning and Purpose to Life
Conventional wisdom holds that children bring a special kind of existential purpose into the lives of their parents. A Pew survey of 17 countries found that 'family and children' was by far the most commonly selected source of meaning in life, and a survey of Greeks found that 87% of parents marked 'giving meaning to life' as an advantage of having children. Same-sex marriage arguments are now selling polyamory
The old joke that 'whoever said marriage is a 50-50 proposition didn't know the half of it,' takes on a whole new meaning in a culture flirting with 'polyamory.' Within the word, 'poly' means multiple, and 'amor' means love. Thus, polyamory refers to multiple loves, or what has traditionally been called 'open relationships.' Abortion and Euthanasia Wrongly Tell People Death is a Solution
Whatever happened to medicine saving lives? How is it that so many can claim that abortion, the intentional killing of a baby not yet born, constitutes health care? Why is euthanasia, the intentional killing of someone who would otherwise live longer, described as a "hard beauty"? It makes no sense. Not if you still believe what medicine was always supposed to believe: that doctors exist to save lives, not to end them on purpose. Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths are Rising Because of Abortion Pills
Every few months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in its 2022 Dobbs decision, another article claims that prolife laws are keeping women from essential medical care, and higher rates of maternal mortality are inevitable. The most recent example is an article in Propublica magazine, which asserted in its title: "Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It's Worse in States With Abortion Bans." Over 50 abortions for every prenatal visit: Why are we funding Planned Parenthood?
Ninety days of conversations. Ninety days of closed-door discussions between members. Ninety days of delay while the largest abortion business in America continues collecting taxpayer money and killing our youngest, most vulnerable citizens. On July 4, 2025, a one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood took effect under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For 12 months, families were no longer forced to underwrite the nation's abortion giant. That protection ended on July 4, 2026, and the funding was restored. In the three months since, Congress has done nothing but talk. Canada Approved Euthanasia for Woman Who Could No Longer Cook for Her Family
A Canadian woman in her 70s was approved for euthanasia after she lost the ability to cook for her family, a role she had prized as the matriarch. New Study Undercuts Messaging of Transgender Ideologues
Studies claiming that the brains of males who identifies as 'transgender women" appear more anatomically similar to female brains than to other males are methodologically very weak and are not supported by the evidence, says a new, peer-reviewed study. Canada's MAID Program Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
Following the death of a beloved grandmother who was killed without her consent through Canada's government-run assisted suicide program, public outcry is building against the 10-year-old scheme that has killed over 100,000 Canadians. Expert Debunks Claim Abortion Bans Led to Higher 'Suicidality' Among Teen Girls
Teen girls are not more likely to consider suicide just because their state bans abortion, contrary the claims of researchers. More Headlines…

Editorial
Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...

If America's unity frays, the problem is probably not its diversity, but that America needs its many cultural groups - and perhaps new ones - to contribute more of their special strengths to public life. Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters. Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance. Jordan J. Ballor
Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another.

Assisted-suicide advocates wish to transform hospice into "hemlock" (as one advocate once put it), a facilitator of suicide rather than a preventer. They believe that access to lethal prescriptions should be considered merely another menu item available for dying patients (and ultimately others) "to control the timing and manner of their deaths."

Transhumanism: a new way of thinking that challenges the premiss that the human condition is and will remain essentially unalterable. Clearing away that mental block allows one to see a dazzling landscape of radical possibilities, ranging from unlimited bliss to the extinction of intelligent life Shenan J. Boquet
Every day, thousands of abortions are still taking place across the country; innocent human beings are being killed. This means that marches, walks, and rallies for life are as urgent as they ever were. They prompt us to more actively work toward a greater respect for the sacredness of human life from fertilization to natural death, as well as to pursue ways to protect human life in law, especially the preborn.

In a rearrangement of the time-honored "Mary had a little lamb" nursery rhyme, we can bring a new perspective to motherhood and mothering. The virtue is not the sole province of women, but a characteristic to be nurtured in all. Christ's embodiment of "nurturing" gives a radical new perspective to the concept of the Lamb of God and by that lamb we are led. Michael Cook
Researchers have moved a step closer to ectogenesis - brewing babies in an artificial womb. A team at the Center for Fetal Research in Philadelphia have developed a womb-like environment in which premature lambs have already lived at least four weeks before being delivered. John Stonestreet

A Basic Fear in a Broken World
People aged 70 or over represent 22.2 % of the total population, and one in four women now falls within this age range (25.4 %). The population aged 90 and over had already reached two million in 2017. Japan also has a record number of centenarians: over *Offsite Article
It is estimated that about 38% of the Japanese population is above the age of 60. People aged 70 or over represent 22.2%. Japan also has a record number of centenarians: over 95,119. This figure is expected to rise to 440,000 by 2050. In addition, a worldwide scale shows people aged 65 years or older are expected to reach 1.6 billion in 2050. In brief, population ageing is an irreversible global trend. We ask, "What basic drive does the ageing generation have in common?" Simply put, the older we get, 'the later', we think, "old age" begins. >Our basic fear< is dying. We all want to live as long as possible. That is why taking care of our health and trying to avoid dangerous situations is so important. Reading in the newspaper about people celebrating their ninetieth or even hundredth birthday makes us happy. We want to know their secrets to living a long, healthy life. We want to put off death as long as possible. There are some people who are so afraid of their own deaths that they have gone to extremes to try to preserve their lives. Now there are companies that offers to freeze a person's body so that, if science gets to the point of being able to bring people back to life after death, you can be resuscitated.
