As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up.

Selling Motherhood: Why Commercial Surrogacy Echoes Trafficking

Wombs for sale? Unborn baby pricing? Selling motherhood? I want to be honest with you: surrogacy, human trafficking, and Catholic teaching are challenging issues. They touch on deep longings (to be loved, to be a parent), real human suffering (poverty, coercion, abuse), and big questions about what it means to treat people with dignity. My aim here is not to lecture but to help you think through the moral issues associated with "MODERN-DAY SLAVERY".

Advances in reproductive technology have changed what families look like today. For some, surrogacy brings real hope. But when surrogacy becomes a commercial transaction - when reproductive labor is bought and sold - it raises serious ethical and social questions. Many Catholics compare COMMERCIAL SURROGACY to forms of modern corruption and TRAFFICKING. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep.

Roi Yozevitch

Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Terminating Korea's abortion culture

Michael Cook
A Korean gynaecologist explains why he abandoned a lucrative procedure and is campaigning to reduce abortions. South Korea has one of the highest rates of abortion in the world, even though abortion is technically illegal there except in a few rare circumstances. According to official government figures, there are 340,000 abortions each year, although one parliamentarian has estimated that there may be as many as 1.5 million. At the same time, Korea's birth rate is the second-lowest in the world -- 1.19 births per woman -- and some Koreans fear that their very survival as a nation is in doubt.

Try to remember

Tom Bartolomeo
Busyness induces forgetfulness. We can literally lose our minds not only our good intentions pursuing every "gimme" enticement. The evil one counts on this. He is too clever to get us to sin outright. He plans our downfall by filling our minds with vanities and trivialities convincing us that they are important or he convinces us to spend all our good will and effort with more than we can carry leaving us nothing in reserve to remember the last things, death, judgement, heaven and hell.

Millennials: the "nice" generation?

Marcus Roberts
Have you heard of the generation called the "millennials"? This the generation that I am a part of, apparently - those born after 1980 and before 2000 (that is, between 15 and 34 years old).
