Reality, not religion, is the reason people need euthanasia-free health care

What Happens When Children Are Exposed to Pornography?
The thing about addiction is that oftentimes, the younger a person is when they are first exposed, the higher their risk for developing a serious addiction that can dominate minds and bodies, numbing them to the environment around them.

Here's Three Reasons Why I'm Pro-Life on Abortion
If someone asks what you think about abortion, or why you're pro-life, what do you say? How do you get supporters of abortion to rethink the issue--or even change their minds? We can put forward our case clearly, concisely, and in a way that appeals to those who aren't already pro-life. Here are three key points to make when articulating your view.

We Need a Federal Law Protecting Babies From Abortions Because Many Blue States Have Abortions Up to Birth
A recent study is declaring U.S. abortion law to be "far more permissive than the vast majority of the world."

A Partnership in Eldercare
We must work together to transform our culture. By changing policy, coordinating care with a spouse, or helping a neighbor in need, we can all help each other remember that showing love and gratitude to seniors is all of our responsibility.

The grim truth about egg-freezing
The advertising pitch for freezing your eggs is seductive: you can (and will) have everything. You don't have to choose between having a career and having a family. You don't have to settle for a man. One company promised that freezing eggs could "freeze time" itself.

"What the Pro-Palestinian Campus Protests Are Really about"
The recent pro-Palestinian student protests on elite university campuses across the country offer fascinating, if somewhat depressing, insights into the state of modern American culture. It is not so much that the lunatics have taken over the asylum as the kindergartners have taken over the nursery.

Trans Activists Sabotage Hotline For Girls To Report Creepy Men In Their Bathrooms
LGBT activists are trying to make it impossible to report violations of laws protecting women and children, putting real people in danger.

War Against Children: Freezing Live Embryos - "human or not?" (Part 10)

It is so easy in life to lose sight of what's most important. Our days are so busy that we often overlook problems facing our children both born and unborn. Take for example freezing unborn embryos. This is another obsession in waging war on Children. This procedure takes a living human person and actually freezes it. This freezing, also known commonly as solidification, is a phase transition where an unborn child turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. We must ask ourselves "When does human life begin?" Are embryos human people? Are pre-born children human embryos at the beginning of pregnancy? The answer is very simple. Is the pregnant woman human? Yes. Is her partner human? Yes. It follows that the embryo in the woman's body must be of the same species - HUMAN. Then it is safe to say that frozen human embryos are the most weak and vulnerable of human beings. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Abortion Linked to More Mental Health Disorders in Danish National Study

David C. Reardon
There is a 50% increased risk of a first time psychiatric treatment in the year following a first abortion, according to a newly published reanalysis of Danish medical records. The elevated risk was highest (87% increased risk) for personality and behavioral disorders.

New! 'Boy Scouts of America' is rebranding. Now it's gender-neutral

Kurt Mahlburg
Boy Scouts of America's gender-neutral rebrand is just the latest move in a decade of woke policy posturing by the organisation. Here's a thought. Maybe the last decade's worth of hyper-inclusion explains why Boy Scouts of America's membership is at historic lows. Though never a scout, I was a boy once. I remember the difference between playing in mixed company and adventuring just with other boys. Both have their place, but they are qualitatively different. As an all-male organisation, BSA had an edge on most competition - an edge they have since abandoned in their giddy pursuit of woke brownie points.

New! Is Sexual Violence Porn-Driven?

Shenan J. Boquet
This is the lie behind the idea that pornography is "merely" entertainment. Even movies made purely for entertainment are not "merely" entertainment. Everything we put into our minds shapes our minds. High-definition streaming porn, one of the most powerful forms of media ever devised, is clearly distorting an entire generation's views of sexuality, from the earliest ages.

New! Student Protests and the Old Gods

R. J. Snell
The protests are not simply about Gaza, but concern incompatible ways of life and value. They are another moment in the long rejection of Western metaphysics, anthropology, ethics, and epistemology by Westerners coming of age in a culture that teaches them to despise their own civilization.

New! Birth Control Risks Exposed

Shenan J. Boquet
An estimated 966 million women of reproductive age globally use some form of birth control. These methods of contraception include hormonal and non-hormonal birth control, both of which have devastating effects on both the health and the well-being of the family.

Is there really no difference between straight and gay parenting?

Michael Cook
Much of the jousting over same-sex marriage, same-sex parenting and transgender issues takes place in a fact-free arena. Fortunately, there has been a pushback from academics dismayed by the lack of academic rigour. The consensus is flawed by small-scale studies, badly framed questions and poorly understood data.

Should Motherhood Pay?

Steven Mosher
It's a sad society, full of sad women -- not to mention men -- when mothers have to be paid not to kill their own children. Yet the situation in Italy, a country once known for a strong family-oriented and Catholic culture, has become so dismal that a parliamentary proposal made this month to pay women not to abort their babies has gained considerable support. On average, Italian women have about 1.2 children each in their lifetimes -- far, far below the minimal replacement rate of 2.1. Italy is a nation rapidly committing suicide.

Legal Sex: Exchanging the Truth of Sex for the Lie of Gender

Daniel Moody
Gender ideology leaves us de-sexed in law. The problem is not merely that our legal identity can now be chosen, but that it can now only be chosen.

Spain: Setting a Trap for Families

Steven Mosher
Spain is following Greece into the demographic twilight as birth rates fall. The leftist government of Jose Zapatero has burdened the country with excessive government spending even while tax revenues shrink and unemployment explodes. Despite the recent nod towards austerity, Zapatero seems intent on making Spain's long-term problem worse by his anti-family, anti-life, anti-free enterprise policies.

Post-Hippocratic Barbarism

Mark Pickup
There was a time when I might have believed humanity had passed beyond barbarism of past centuries and into sunlit enlightenment. I might have believed it if I was kept unaware of 20th Century barbarism. This western barbarism culminated in cultural embrace (even celebration) of abortion on demand, and, more recently, the advent of euthanasia consciousness. Yes, if I had lived in a bubble apart from the happenings of man, I might have believed a myth that humanity is capable, on its own, of attaining glorious heights of refined enlightenment.

Nazi euthanasia victims honoured in Bundestag

Michael Cook
On January 27, Germany's Bundestag commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the liberation of the inmates of Auschwitz concentration camp. This year the focus was placed on the 300,000 disabled victims of the notorious Aktion T-4 euthanasia program.

Will Down Syndrome children disappear?

Dominic Perrottet
It is difficult for us to fully appreciate the difficulties and challenges faced by parents who have a child with special needs. But those who have lived or are living through the experience are building a world in which these challenges can be met. And many good-willed people in the public and private sector are supporting them. The rest of us just need a change of heart. We should stop and consider the vast abilities, potential and successes of children with Down Syndrome.

The Unwanted Abortion Crisis

David C. Reardon
This is the challenge faced by advocates of abortion havens. How are they going to prevent their havens from being turned against women? The word "choice" sounds good. But far too many women have abortions because they feel "I have no choice."

Fear factor: first pre-emptive removal of prostate

Michael Cook
Following the highly publicised pre-emptive double mastectomy of Hollywood celebrity Angelina Jolie, it has emerged that a 53-year-old British man has become the first in the world to have a pre-emptive removal of his prostate.

Iceland 'Close to Eradicating Down Syndrome Births'
They're Killing, Not Curing

John Stonestreet
One Scandinavian country's treatment of the vulnerable is a barometer for where the rest of the world is headed.
