Parental Rights Are a Cornerstone of American Law Andrea Picciotti-Bayer: "If our institutions truly wish to strengthen justice, remove barriers, and end violence against women and girls, they should begin by recognizing the irreplaceable role of parents who are present, attentive, and committed to their daughters' well-being." Seen But Not Scrutinized: The Paradox Every Parent of a Teenager Needs to Understand Stephanie Winn (LMFT) gives sound advice to parents: "I want to address something specific for parents of trans-identified kids. Many of you are in a situation where the only time your child shows strong emotion toward you is when pronouns come up or when something related to their trans identity is triggered. Outside of that, it's polite distance. And the polite distance feels safe enough that you don't want to rock the boat. So you pretend you didn't see the hostile look. You barrel past the moment. You keep things surface-level. I understand that instinct, but I want to challenge it." The Bible Does Not Support Abortion The world's most premature twins have celebrated their fourth birthday after defying the odds and thriving. Euthanasia of the mentally ill in the Netherlands is increasing As the West lunges toward propagating a right to be made dead, the deleterious societal impacts of being legally "MAIDed" (killed by "medical assistance in dying") are becoming increasingly clear. A recent professional analysis published in the Psychiatric Times illustrates the lethal influence on mentally ill suicidal people -- including youth -- in the Netherlands. A Pediatrician's Warning: Puberty Blockers Aren't Curing Gender Dysphoria. They're Manufacturing It. From Dr. Julia Mason: "Those activists are mistaken. The drugs do have lasting effects, and there's little credible evidence that puberty blockers actually help patients. In fact, there is growing reason to believe they are exacerbating the very dysphoria they are supposed to resolve and placing vulnerable children on a largely self-reinforcing path toward permanent transitions, often with serious and lasting physical consequences." Death Is Not The End If it is 'certain that we shall not be here for long,' as Blaise Pascal says, 'and uncertain whether we shall be here even one hour,' then what lies beyond death matters more than anything else. 'All the Lonely People': Loneliness Is Exacerbated by Childlessness The problem of loneliness among older people has not disappeared. In fact, it is growing and likely to continue to increase in the U.S. and other industrialized countries in the future. For example, a 2025 AARP poll found that loneliness affected 40% of those ages 45 and over in the U.S., up five points from 35% in both 2010 and 2018. Poll Shows 76% of Americans Want Abortions Banned or Limited
Today Pew Research released the results of a new poll on public attitudes on sanctity of life issues. This poll, which surveyed over 8,500 people in late January, contains some good news for pro-lifers. America's Dating Crisis Is Dire, But Here's How We Can Reverse It It's hardly a secret that dating is a mess today. Young adults are not happy with the state of things, and it's certainly not producing the social goods that matter most: marriage and babies. Marriage and fertility rates have dropped by more than half in the last several decades. Society cannot continue without these, and neither happens unless boy meets girl. This is why the dating crisis matters. "Dr. Death" Creates "Suicide Pods" for Couple to Kill Themselves Together What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber.

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.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Merlot Mary Fogarty Can We Restore Hope in Women?s Healthcare? Change at all levels of healthcare, education, and policy need to be made to meet infertility upstream and to care for the health and well-being of women at all stages of life, including before they are trying to become mothers.
Rachel Carrington "Pro-life" is a controversial term among abortion advocates. Since pro-lifers advocate for the protection of human beings from the first moment of their creation, we are often called "forced birthers" or "anti-woman." We are told we care only about babies and not about the lives and well-being of their mothers. John Stonestreet Billionaire who could have lived free anywhere, stayed to fight for Hong Kong and is now in prison for life. David C. Reardon Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to "44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion," according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University. Suzanne Bowdey From Bud Light's backlash to a corporate exodus, the Human Rights Campaign's once-feared LGBT equality index is collapsing under consumer pressure and a widening revolt against woke capitalism.
John Stonestreet The Bible may not talk about organ donation, but it does have a lot to say about life.
Judie Brown To know how to defend truth, we must know how to define it. According to Webster, truth means "agreement with fact or reality." Yet in today's moral free-fall, a statement of fact can be dismissed quite easily if one is hell-bent on supporting a particular opinion, even if the words themselves are based on fiction. Barbara Kralis Will the Catholic Bishops be responsible for the election of pro abortion, pro euthanasia John Kerry because the message they are currently sending to all Americans is that being pro abortion is not a grave offense against God? Could the real reason be U.S. Bishops fear losing their Catholic tax exemption on their land and assets nationwide? John Stonestreet For the past five years, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, has conducted a survey of U.S. adults measuring what it calls the "accelerating acceptance" of LGBT people. Up till now, they've used these survey results to drive home the "right side of history" narrative that seems so effective for the movement. Steven Mosher No doubt, the greatest risk of MAP is loss of human life. Packaging for MAP omits clear warnings of the risks and abortion-inducing function of the chemical. Women must be informed of the total risks of MAP, to themselves and their children. Judie Brown I recently heard an adoptive mother say, "When we brought our daughter home, we couldn't afford a babysitter, so we just had to tough it out. We wondered why people didn't help more. It felt like they didn't care, which really hurt." This statement broke my heart because this mom is my friend. Tamara Rajakariar The smaller and cheaper the wedding, the better the marriage - agree or disagree? Well, according to a recent study out of Emory University, the more expensive the wedding and engagement ring, the shorter the duration of the marriage. Douglas McManaman What does it mean to become useless in the eyes of Christ? People are useful when they serve a purpose. And there are countless goals that people have in life, so many that virtually everyone can be put to use in some way. But Christ has a purpose, and his purpose is not the same as anyone else's in this world, and it is more important than any other in this world. Xavier Symons A 70-year-old blind woman has become the first person in the Netherlands to be granted assisted suicide on the grounds of disability. Matthew Habiger This is a homily that is long overdue. It deals with a problem that is all too prevalent among Catholic couples today, and that is the problem of sterilization. It is estimated that 85% of couples of childbearing age are using some form of contraception today. Among these couples, 40% are now sterilized. And among this group, 70% are women. These percentages apply now both to the general American public and to Catholics. You have not heard about this from the pulpit, and that is part of the problem. Why, you may wonder, have the clergy been so quiet on this topic?
