After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

Climate alarm 'blaring from every direction'
Climate-driven disasters are reaching "nightmare proportions" due to humanity's "addiction" to fossil fuels, a top UN official warned on Tuesday.

Mifepristone as a Public Health Issue
Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion. The active agents in mifepristone - the first of the two "abortion pills" - remain active post-excretion, i.e., they enter public water systems. The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

Colorado Teen Dies From Planned Parenthood Abortion. Media Is Mum
A Colorado teen died after undergoing an abortion through Planned Parenthood, though the media and local officials have tried to bury the story.

Doctors Oppose South Korea Plan to Promote Abortion Pills
A coalition of medical professionals, pro-life advocates, and the director of the Catholic Institute of Bioethics held a press conference in Seoul, Korea on Wednesday to "slam the South Korean government's move to review the possible legalization of abortion pills, emphasizing protection of pregnant women and children," according to UCA News.

School Districts Stonewalling Parents Despite SCOTUS Rulings

IVF Kills More Unborn Babies Than Planned Parenthood
If your goal is to bring a baby into this world, why would you turn to an industry that takes more children out of the world than Planned Parenthood?

Miracle Baby Born at 22 Weeks Heads Home From Hospital
A baby born weighing barely a pound at just 22 weeks gestation has finally been sent home after months in hospital, making him the most premature baby to survive at the hospital where he was born.

Death by Organ Donation: They're Killing Patients to Harvest Their Organs
The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia corrupts medical ethics and not just because killing patients or assisting their suicides is a direct violation of the Hippocratic oath. No: Transforming sick and disabled people into a killable caste also objectifies them as potential natural resources to be mined or harvested.

Newest Problem for Schools Hiding Gender Transitions from Parents: Poor Liars
A new obstacle has recently surfaced to confront LGBT activists pushing progressive school districts to adopt policies that force teachers to lie to parents about their students' gender identity at school. Lying is harder than telling the truth. Lying is especially hard for professionals (like teachers) whose job it is to tell the truth. Lying grows even more challenging when done repeatedly, but only sometimes, in service of a double life.

IVF: Are We Playing God with Human Embryos

Imagine a young married couple. They have dreamed of having children since the day they were married. Month after month they hope, pray, and wait?but nothing happens. Eventually, their doctor suggests in vitro fertilization (IVF). Friends encourage them to try it. Social media is full of happy stories about babies born through IVF. It seems like the obvious answer.

In recent decades, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has become one of the most widely accepted ways for couples struggling with infertility to have children. Millions celebrate IVF as a scientific miracle that fulfills the dream of parenthood. The pain of infertility is real, and every couple who longs for a child deserves compassion, understanding, and support. However, compassion should never prevent us from asking an important moral question: Does every technological possibility respect the dignity of human life?

From a Catholic perspective, the answer is not simply whether IVF works, but whether it respects God's plan for human life and the dignity of every child. Two serious concerns arise. First, IVF attempts to replace God's design for the beginning of human life. Second, it risks treating unborn babies as products that can be created, selected, bought, sold, or discarded according to human preferences. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

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

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

New! God Is Not a Socialist: Biblical and Moral Reasons for Rejecting Socialism

Kris Dhillon
Modern socialism/progressivism present themselves as compassionate, enlightened, and morally superior. They promise "equity," "inclusion," and "social justice" but beneath the appealing slogans is a worldview that is hostile to God, his created order and his authority.

New! Fighting for Every Person with Down Syndrome, from Creation to Natural Death

Andrew Daub
When Jeremy and Krystal VanderBrugghen's daughter, Veya Hope, was denied medical treatment in Canada, they fought for her with everything they had. Amidst their fight, they discovered Team Iron Will, and we helped them pursue options across the border in the United States. We walked with them through one of the darkest seasons of their lives, reminding them at every turn that Veya's life had immeasurable value.

New! The Human Embryo Created by God is Sacred

Michael D. Pfeifer
The human embryo created by God is indeed sacred because it is a human person in its earliest stage. Sadly, the embryo is being threatened more and more and killed by many. The embryo is made by God with the cooperation of a married woman and man in the Sacrament of Marriage. The main purpose of marriage is to give new life to our world as the married couple increase their love for one another. It is God who gives the soul in the embryo.

Human Life is Sacred from Conception

Michael D. Pfeifer
The Bible clearly teaches that human life is sacred and precious from conception, and that murder is wrong (Genesis 9:6). This sacredness flows from the sacrament of marriage in which a married couple cooperates with God in bringing new human life into our world.

On the Power of Being Present

Douglas McManaman
There are certain things that can bring unnecessary anxiety to the life of a believer. One is to forget that God has no use for us. After all, He created us not because He needs us, but because He loves us. And although He has no need of us, He uses us nonetheless.

Memo to New York State Senators: Commercial Surrogacy Undermines the Child-Parent Relationship

Jennifer Lahl
With a Democratic majority in both the New York Senate and Assembly, along with a Democratic Governor, victory for the surrogacy industry is within reach. A bill that would make commercial surrogacy contracts legal and enforceable in the Empire State has been slipped into the state's 2019 budget, buried deep on page 392.

Gun Control
Will it be the Conscience or will it be the Constables?

John Stonestreet
Americans have always had constitutional rights that allow them to exercise certain freedoms. But do we still have the moral ability to maintain those rights?

Some Quebec doctors resisting drive for euthanasia

Xavier Symons
There is a growing push for greater rights for Down syndrome people - in particular that they be fully protected from forced sterilisation. A landmark ruling by a UK court may have brought this goal one step closer.

Mother Earth is Crying Out for Help

Michael D. Pfeifer
Earth Day is a time to appreciate the wonderful gift of planet earth and to commit ourselves, each and everyone around the world to assure her survival in the future.

Catholic teaching on the human embryo as an object of research

John B. Shea
Many Catholic leaders in the pro-life movement who oppose laws which would permit research on human embryos fail to realize that there is a fundamental need to outlaw in vitro fertilization in all its forms, if such opposition is to be effective. They refer only to cloning research, or to cloning on the in vitro embryo, but do not oppose the actual creation of the in vitro embryo itself.

Beauty in Time

Douglas McManaman
Existence in time is a constant dying, drifting into the non-existent past. But Christ conquered death; he rose from the dead, so existence in time is a constant dying, each moment of which will rise again, in glory. Tradition seeks to recover the past, to make it present again, like the Mass, which actually does make present the sacrifice of Calvary. But in heaven, what tradition aims to achieve will be achieved. The joy of heaven will include the joys of each present moment of our existence, and so the deaths of each moment are not permanent.

Why Roe will go but NOT because of Kavanaugh

Dianne N. Irving
The bottom line is that when the current Supreme Court is required to review the Roe decision, they will of course need to turn to and acknowledge the long-known objective scientific facts of human embryology that Roe refused to acknowledge. THAT is why Roe will go -- NOT because of Justice Kavanaugh's or any of the other Supreme Court justices' political positions.

"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.

Banning Babies
Humans Are the Solution, Not the Problem

John Stonestreet
No one wants their kids to grow up to become criminals. But for some, their crime is simply existing.
