Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: Why Abortion Is the Pre-eminent Moral Issue

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - In Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the U.S. bishops provide ethical guidance on the political responsibilities of Catholics. It assists Catholics, in light of the Church’s teaching, to form their consciences and to learn about Catholic social doctrine on fundamental moral issues, which give shape to political, cultural, and social issues... As a pro-life leader, I am delighted with the strong language in the guide on the topic of abortion. “The threat of abortion remains our pre-eminent priority,” the introduction to the most recent version of the guide states, “because it directly attacks our most vulnerable and voiceless brothers and sisters and destroys more than a million lives per year in our country alone.”

Embryo Adoption Can’t be Used to Bypass Infertility, by Matthew McKenna

By Matthew McKenna, Catholic Exchange - Recently, one couple shared their story about discerning the morality of embryo adoption and their final decision to go through with it because they are otherwise infertile.  A significant portion of the article centers around the moral reasoning through which they determined that it was an acceptable choice.  Sadly, and despite their best efforts to find moral guidance, there are serious issues with their reasoning and interpretation of Magisterial teachings which have led them, and may lead others, astray.

Virginia’s “Reproductive Freedom” Amendment: Beware! by Robert G. Marshall

By Robert G. Marshall, Catholic Culture - The State of Virginia’s 2025 General Assembly passed a proposed so-called Reproductive Freedom Constitutional Amendment (RFCA) to Virginia’s Constitution (S.J.Res 247) which will be on Virginia’s November, 2026 ballot if passed a second time by Virginia’s 2026 legislature. Other states have faced or will face similar challenges, so the Virginia experience should put all American citizens on their guard.

Democrats are Forcing a Government Shutdown to Make You Pay for Abortions, by Tony Perkins

By Tony Perkins, LifeNews - When the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision in June 2022, many in Washington and the media declared that abortion was now a matter for the states. While the ruling did not explicitly say abortion was a state issue, it did affirm that states have the authority to regulate abortion — and in doing so, it appeared to cut the strings of federal control, freeing states to protect the unborn.
