Nazis Euthanized Disabled Children, Now the Netherlands is Doing It The report justifies the killing based on the child being born prematurely and having significant disabilities.

Haiti: Child malnutrition crisis worsens amid escalating violence Haiti is facing a worsening child malnutrition crisis, with an estimated 253,725 children aged 6 to 59 months projected to suffer from acute malnutrition between June 2026 and May 2027, new UN-backed analysis has revealed. Setting the Bar What happened to us? How did our natural instinct to rage against the dying of the light, and with it, humane treatment of the vulnerable, slip away? What are we aspiring to? Who's setting the bar? The Problem with Offering Abortion First In the waiting room, she kept her eyes fixed on her lap. No one knew she was here: not her mom, not her dad, not her best friends. Only her boyfriend, who was splitting the cost with her. ... "As scars heal, the inflammation will slowly fade, but we retain the mark for the rest of our lives," my mother tells me. "Not of shame, but of regret for the unfixable, unchangeable decision made out of fear." With Pro-Abortion Speech Law, New Jersey's War on Women Continues According to the Catholic News Agency, the bill will implement a sort of "bubble" zone around reproductive health centers. It "criminalizes 'interference' with 'reproductive' or 'gender-affirming' care," as well as "inflicting 'emotional harm' against those seeking or providing 'reproductive health care services.' It also bans filming and sharing videos within 100 feet of an abortion clinic." Massachusetts Takes Daughter from Catholic Parents for Refusing to Affirm Trans Identity A Catholic couple in Massachusetts had their daughter taken away by the state under the guise of child abuse after refusing to affirm her so-called transgender identity.

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.

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.

Ethical Perspectives Lori Hadacek Chaplin Understanding that both the suffering and their caregivers experience loneliness and isolation, a new Catholic ministry called The Peace in the Storm Project aims to accompany them both to help foster faith, fellowship, and peace. The project, founded in 2023 by Catholic author Maureen Pratt, is available to dioceses, parishes, and individuals. Brian Clowes Ancient and modern Catholic bishops and theologians have consistently condemned the practice of contraception since the founding of the Church. Since the reign of Pope Pius IX, when the question of contraception was first raised in modern times, more than thirty Church documents have stated that Catholics must not use it. Mike Johns 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.
Judie Brown We all realize theoretically the importance of language and the necessity for accuracy, but unfortunately these concepts do not always get applied when it comes to the real world. When discussing the stages of life and how they apply to human beings, there can be no room for error. There can be no misunderstanding of facts and no misrepresentation of the facts to others. Lives are at stake. Helen Alvaré Those of us who value life over death, vibrant religious exercise, and the good of natural marriage need to find our voice again even though the powers-that-be are redefining words arbitrarily and avoiding reason. Ryan T. Anderson Activists are asking the Court to rewrite our nation's civil rights laws in a way that would directly undermine one of their main purposes: protecting the equal rights of girls and women. Congress did not legislate such an outcome, and the Court should not usurp Congress's authority by imposing such an extreme policy on the nation. Biology is not bigotry, and the Court should not conclude otherwise. A.I.R.V.S.C. This article reviews the current state of the law regarding the duty to protect the unborn child in the womb in the non-abortion context. Special emphasis will be placed upon neglect, prenatal torts, property law, family law, wrongful death and criminal homicide of an unborn child. Douglas McManaman The word “ecstasy” comes from the Greek word ekstasis, which means to “stand outside of”, or to be beside oneself. The more we look outside ourselves in a spirit of thanksgiving, the more joy filled or ecstatic our life becomes. Learning this gratitude is so important, because Christ’s coming in the flesh was ultimately for the sake of restoring gratitude to God. Dianne N. Irving Either you're Catholic or you're not Catholic. And if one is not Catholic or is Catholic but doesn't know Catholic teachings or dissents from them, then how does one even know how to teach and administer accurately and objectively what the Catholic Church teaches and requires? Given the noted propensities of the CP report, and the reality of GU as a Pontifical Faculty of the Roman Catholic Church, Georgetown University has some hard choices to make. They really can't have it both ways.
Ryan T. Anderson Every newborn child is either a boy or a girl, just as every human adult is either a man or a woman. This is a biological reality. Boy and girl, man and woman, are just the age-specific terms for human males and females. Sex for human beings, like all other mammalian species, is binary. And stable. Sex does not exist along a spectrum, nor is it fluid. That's why activists use different words - gender, and gender identity - to make those claims. John Stonestreet Despite progressive states trying to ban APR, the treatment is proving to be safe for moms and lifesaving for babies. 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. Proclaim Sermons The familiar story of Martha and Mary cannot be reduced to a conflict between activity and contemplation. Rather, to hear it in context, the account invites us to hold both in creative tension.
