Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever
A growing body of research suggests that living near grandparents can have lasting benefits for parents, children, and family life as a whole. Mailed Abortion Pills, Part 2: Physical Perils and Mental Traumas
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against buying abortion pills through mail. On its website, it headlines a section, "FDA Does Not Recommend Buying Mifepristone Online." It elaborates "buying it online" means "bypassing important safeguards specifically designed to protect health." It comments there is no way to be certain any medication received through mail is safe. Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
On June 5, 2026, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of herself and 13 other state attorneys general questioning whether "the abortion pill[1]" was contaminating American water. What does this mean? It means that, if ambient concentrations of mifepristone reach "sufficient concentration," it could affect pregnant women who unintentionally are exposed to it. Nor is there clear research about how it could affect "reproductive organ development and fertility," i.e., the next generation of young people entering puberty. British Medical Association Requires Doctors to Starve Patients to Death
The subtitle of the revised and updated version of my book criticizing utilitarian bioethics, Culture of Death, is, "The Age of 'Do Harm' Medicine." Helping patients kill themselves by self-starvation and dehydration -- known in euthanasia parlance as VSED (for voluntary stopping eating and drinking) -- certainly fits that designation. Forced Abortion in America is Rising and Abortion Pills are the Weapons
The question Congress will have to answer is, "Who gets to deprive a preborn baby of his or her 5th Amendment right to life without due process?" The telemedicine company illegally shipping the drugs across state lines? The doctor? The abusive boyfriend or husband? The politician? The womb renters? The mother? National Day of Remembrance Will Mourn 66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions
"Mourn for these children because they are members of the human family," Jansen said. "They were created in God's image like we were. They deserve to be mourned for." The joy of killing babies
There are scenes that sum up the sickness of an era, and we saw one of them unfold in the office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Monday. She was at her desk, surrounded by beaming women. There was flashing and the sound of camera shutters; the governor bent over and signed a document. She nodded as the women broke out into laughter and applause. 'Thank you,' she said. ...The momentous event was Governor Healy's signing of the Prioritizing Patient Access to Care Act, which eliminated one of the state's last remaining abortion laws. If You Want To Be A Grandparent One Day, Raise Your Kids To Get Married And Want Babies ASAP
If you'd rather spend your 60s holding grand-babies instead of watching your 30-something daughter livestream hormone injections, start laying the foundation for marriage and parenthood now. They Cheered Abortions Up to Birth, And They Want More
I watched a clip of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing the bill legalizing abortion up to the moment of birth. It felt completely surreal. A group of women stood around her, applauding. The thought that came to mind was "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Caitlyn Jenner Has a Simple Answer to the WNBA's Transgender Player Problem
Where sex is concerned, human reproductive biology is pretty standard: Humans are sexually bipolar, with two sexes, male and female. This is determined genetically at conception; barring a few rare and usually debilitating genetic disorders, an XX chromosome pair results in a female, and an XY pair, a male. That's just how it is. These are facts. And another fact is that the XY pairing gives the resulting child and, in time, adult, a significant advantage in sports. More Headlines…

Through the Eyes of a Missionary Priest Working in Japan: Working in pro-life ministry for over 40 years as a Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate has given me the opportunity to meet people at almost every stage of life. I have shared the happiness of families welcoming a new baby. I have spent time with young people at Kochi University trying to figure out who they are and where their lives are going. During my many pro-life trips throughout Asia, I have visited people in hospitals, listened to those going through difficult times, and prayed with people nearing the end of their lives. All of these experiences have taught me something very simple but very important: human life is beautiful, and human life is sacred.
I think we sometimes forget this, especially in a world that is constantly telling us what a "successful" life should look like. We see it on social media, where everyone seems happy, attractive, and successful. Young people can begin to feel that their grades measure how intelligent they are, that getting the right job will determine whether they succeed in life, or even that the number of followers and "likes" they receive says something about their worth. Without realizing it, we can begin to feel that we have to prove ourselves. But our value as human beings does not depend on our grades, our appearance, our career, our popularity, or what other people think of us.

Genuine humility is the road to wisdom. And growth in wisdom leads to even more humility. It's a virtuous cycle. Tony Perkins
Pride Month 2026 began with some bracing news for the LGBTQIA+ movement. According to Gallup's latest annual survey, public support for same-sex marriage, the morality of homosexual conduct, and transgenderism has declined significantly. James Macpherson
Politicians abandoned common sense for fear of offending. David Upham
Indeed, because our Constitution recognizes the right of both mother and father to the custody of their joint offspring, that Constitution surely permits - if not requires - all the states of our Union to publicly favor, once again, the lifelong "union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Shenan J. Boquet
Genetic manipulation becomes arbitrary and unjust when it reduces life to an object, when it forgets that it is dealing with a human subject, capable of intelligence and freedom, worthy of respect whatever may be their limitations; or when it treats this person in terms of criteria not founded on the integral reality of the human person, at the risk of infringing upon his dignity.

This radical bill already passed the U.S. House in July, with the help of 47 Republicans. Now, however, it needs to pass the Senate, where its fate is more uncertain. However, I am concerned that certain Republican Senators are quietly planning on supporting it, which could ensure its passage. For this reason, it is crucial that Americans reading this column immediately contact their senators, letting them know that they expect them to vote against this destructive bill. Barbara Kralis
Human slavery exists as "domestic servitude" in thousands of households throughout the world. In most cases, domestic servitude among women and children also includes violence and rape, and takes place in wealthier countries of the Persian Gulf, Asia, France, and the United States. Islam encourages men to marry needy women. A Muslim man can have four wives at a time, and some are treated as slaves or sex objects.
Irving News Comments
"Despite the formal scientific rejection of the term "pre-embryo", and despite the scientific fact that "embryo splitting" -- or "twinning" -- is a cloning technique, the American Medical Association has endorsed "human pre-embryo splitting" -- i.e., human cloning -- as "ethical". Note that this form of human cloning is closely associated with In Vitro Fertilization clinics. Scientific references: (1) There is no such thing as a "pre-embryo"; (2) "Embryo-splitting", or "twinning" is a human cloning technique."

In deciding where we stand on this issue, it's important for Canadians to understand the weaknesses of the report. It is not "a careful, balanced review of various pros and cons of decriminalization of physician-assisted death from well-reasoned ethical and legal standpoints" - which is what was required in the panel's mandate. It's an unabashed pro-euthanasia manifesto.

Editor's note: This posting is a debate on the beginning of human life between a good Catholic, Frank Pavone, and Chat GPT. Frank Pavone is a pro-life activist. He is the national director of Priests for Life and the chairman and pastoral director of its Rachel's Vineyard project. He is also the president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, an umbrella group of various pro-life Christian denominations, and the pastoral director of the Silent No More campaign. I have also posted this debate on my personal blog due to its importance, which aims at "Fighting for the Culture of Life" and at showing that a child receives human rights from the very moment of its natural beginning. - Fr.

Once again Dutch legislators are organising a legal work-around for a procedure which is clearly illegal in the Netherlands. This time the issue is commercial surrogacy.

Years ago I was reading parts of Nelson Mandela's autobiography in which he makes the interesting observation that a shepherd (or shepherdess) leads his (her) sheep from the back. This image was his model of leadership. Since its beginnings in the 19th Century and especially since its exponential growth after World War II, the global population control movement has inflicted documented human rights abuses on millions of women worldwide. During the overpopulation hysteria of the 1960s and 1970s and into the 1980s, nations from Mexico to India implemented coercive population control policies that forcibly sterilized millions of women, forced millions more to have abortions, and also forcibly sterilized millions of men.
