France's euthanasia law is disturbing.
We are horrified by the implementation of this law in France and are gravely concerned with the countless French citizens who are now at risk of deadly harm, particularly people with disabilities. Mail Order Abortions Kill Babies, Hurt Women and Break the Law
Last week, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, released a new report: "Mifepristone Without Guardrails: An Investigation Into How Chemical Abortion Drug Makers Are Putting Mothers and Babies At Risk." The report confirms what many in the pro-life movement had already suspected -- mifepristone manufacturers are contributing to the current abortion drug crisis. Doctors are Pushing Patients to Starve Themselves to Death
Many Western countries and jurisdictions are legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. That opens up a problem for the death pushers. Since states aren't going to get into the wet work of the actual killing, medical professionals and caregivers are going to be conscripted to do the deadly deeds -- even if that means violating their religious beliefs and moral consciences. Catholic teaching on IVF leads physician to a new path in fertility care
In light of the recent attention drawn to increasing IVF and fertility insurance coverage around the nation, the Florida Catholic explores the decisions of doctors to change course, Church teaching on the matter, and moral issues at stake in a series of articles. This is the first. Hong Kong judges uphold Cardinal Zen's conviction over fund to help protesters
A panel of three appellate judges in Hong Kong this week upheld convictions for retired Cardinal Joseph Zen and four other pro-democracy advocates who operated a legal defense and medical fund that supported people engaged in widespread protests in 2019 and 2020. Girls Just Want a Locker Room
I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. A crowd showed up to support Sophie Cunningham and a pretty uncomplicated proposition: girls deserve locker rooms and sports of their own. Another crowd showed up to oppose them. And based on what I watched, some of the descriptions of the demonstration don't look much like the video. What a Male Breastfeeding Image Reveals About the Transgender Movement
Conservatives may be tempted to laugh at the absurdity of a breastfeeding organization featuring a man attached to breast pumps, but we shouldn't simply move on--it reveals something important about the effect of transgenderism on America's institutions. First, what happened? Confusing the innocent
Australia now has a confused generation of teenagers raised in the shadow of gender identity divorced from biological reality, according to Professor Emerita of Psychology Dianna Kenny. ...The definitions of 'man' and 'woman' were removed from the law. As a new protected attribute, the concept of gender identity uncoupled from biological sex was introduced. Abortion now leading cause of death in Scotland, a new analysis of data has revealed
According to the most recent data published by Public Health Scotland, there were 18,783 terminations of pregnancy recorded in a single year. ...When these figures are integrated into wider human mortality data from the National Records of Scotland--where all cancers combined accounted for 16,486 deaths recorded in Scotland in 2025, ischaemic heart disease for 7,000 deaths and dementia accounting for 6,612 deaths--the loss of unborn life stands as the highest single source of mortality in the nation. This Isn't Healthcare: How the abortion pill kills and injures
Heavily marketed as 'safe and effective,' the abortion pill has rapidly grown in popularity among women seeking abortions. It now accounts for about 65% of all abortions. Pro-abortion groups portray the abortion pill as just another 'treatment,' even using the moniker 'medication abortion.' But medication is meant to heal, not intentionally harm. The abortion pill is not healthcare. More Headlines…

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

It is in the martyrs, both those who have shed their blood for God but also those martyrs of "everyday life," the martyrs of charity, that we most clearly behold the splendor and magnificence of humanity. Dan Hart
New data shows that more Americans now use marijuana daily than smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, as experts debate whether the trend will last. Douglas McManaman
A non-repressed and openly gay Catholic is one who can live that faith without looking at women as inferiors, but as equals, who is free from the need to create and control an environment that fuels an unhealthy narcissism that exploits others, and who lives in hope and with a healthy self-esteem, and yes, a certain degree of pride. Marianna Orlandi
Technology is not our problem. Our problem is an obsessive concern for our own good, our distrust of others, and the terror of losing ourselves. No algorithm will solve this. Steven Mosher
Monty Patterson loved being a dad with his whole heart. So when a nurse called to tell him that his 18-year-old daughter, Holly, was in the ICU, he dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. That day quickly became the worst of his life.

Writer Mary Elizabeth Williams has stridently argued that foetuses are indeed "human life", but that nevertheless a woman's rights "trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity inside of her. Always."

Health care workers, esteemed members of the community, who are already quite familiar with the "rhythms of fertility," have every reason to rally to the side of the Pope; his call for a far-reaching and powerful thrust of the NFP apostolate is new in the Church, is timely, and is a formidable challenge. Official Documents
Introduction to fundamental issues and terms. The term 'cloning', both in thought and experimental practice, has taken on different meanings which in turn presume different procedures from the technical viewpoint as well as different aims.

A massive repression of the peaceful peasant movement, the Anjuman Mozareen Punjab (AMP), is underway. Most of its leadership has been arrested under false anti-terrorist laws. Dozens of members are missing, while over 50 remain behind bars.

The purpose of this essay is not to give therapeutic advice. It is rather to offer moral instruction on adopting alternatives consistent with moral principles. The term "ectopic pregnancy" refers to a pregnancy that is not in the uterus. More than 95% of such pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes, but they also can occur in the abdominal cavity, ovaries or cervix. 'Born This Way'
The Zombie Arguments that Just Won't Die John Stonestreet
For example, there are zombie arguments about abortion - like the one that says the pre-born aren't really human. There are also quite a few zombie arguments in favor of same-sex relationships. Steven Mosher
Are the Chinese people going on a baby strike? As Xi Jinping purges one general after another, seeking to further consolidate his power, the population at large remains quiescent. John B. Shea
Catholics must witness to the faith. Catholic medical caregivers, hospital administrators and board members must learn the moral principles which govern patient care and must act in accordance with them. They must learn more about the Church's teaching on the nature and dignity of man and the fact that all are called to salvation, which concerns the human person in all of his or her dimensions, personal and social, spiritual and corporal, historical and transcendent.... Catholics must bring this teaching to the attention of others, not only by word but by example. Contraception, in vitro fertilization, prenatal testing harmful to the unborn, or performed to facilitate abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are all intrinsically evil and cannot be justified by any intention, no matter how good. Asia Human Rights
The incident, which took place on January 24, 2009, involved women being slapped and dragged out from the pub by their hair; the assailants, who were allegedly members of the group, also verbally abused the women as "loose". The assault was captured on camera, and the existence of video evidence was considered as irrefutable proof of the accused's guilt. Douglas McManaman
The experience of our own contingency is something all of us have, and this sense of our own contingency is especially heightened when we are young. This experience is fundamentally a profound realization that my existence is not necessary (i.e., contingent), that I need not be here; my existence is not necessary. This experience is one of radical dependency. I am not sufficient unto myself, I depend radically on someone or something. With further experience I come to the realization that this dependency is multi aspectual. It is this experience that is the source of a naturally religious sense.
