Political Grandstanding on IVF Ignores Its Abuse of Human Dignity, by Michael Warsaw

By Michael Warsaw, Publisher’s Note, EWTN News – But there is a bigger issue at stake than winning elections or steering clear of the cancel culture: the truth… That truth begins with basic science. Whether the embryo is created through natural procreation or when sperm and egg are joined in a petri dish, it is a human being in the earliest of stages. This isn’t a religious doctrine or a conservative court’s opinion. It’s a biological fact, one that wouldn’t change even if 100% of Americans said otherwise.

Say the Word, Mr. President, and Tell the Truth About Abortion, by Susan Ciancio

By Susan Ciancio, Catholic World Report – Euphemisms are often used in polite society to make distasteful words more palatable. But sometimes they are spoken to hide the truth. Nowhere was this more evident than in President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 7th, when he refused to say the word “abortion” and instead repeatedly referred to it as “reproductive freedom”… Biden, who claims to be “a practicing Catholic” who is “not big on abortion”, spent just a handful of minutes discussing abortion. Yet his words were carefully crafted to not only incite anger but to make it seem like those who oppose abortion have waged a war against women.

Joe Biden Isn’t “Pro-Choice,” He’s a Cheerleader for Abortions Up to Birth, by Ryan Bomberger

By Ryan Bomberger, LifeNews – These were the exact words President Biden spoke in an interview about the supremely wrong Roe decision that commercialized the killing of America’s Posterity. “I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion,” Senator Biden explained. “I think it went too far. I don’t think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body.” That was 1974. Fast forward fifty years, and Joe Biden cannot celebrate and promote abortion enough.

By Father Roger Landry, EWTN News – The Feb. 16 ruling by the Supreme Court of Alabama, which by an 8-1 margin determined that cryogenically frozen human embryos are considered unborn children under Alabama law, has brought a long-awaited spotlight on the practices, lack of regulation and dearth of ethics in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assisted reproductive technology (ART) industries… The decision on the consolidated appeal by three families — the official title of which is an unwieldy 98 words — against the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Mobile Infirmary Medical Center allows their lawsuit to go forward.

That is especially true where, as here, the People of this State have adopted a Constitutional amendment directly aimed at stopping courts from excluding ‘unborn life’ from legal protection.

By Msgr. Charles Pope – Alabama’s state Supreme Court ruled last week that embryos created by In vitro fertilization, (IVF), are considered children. and this has raised concerns that embryos that are destroyed or damaged could lead to civil liability. So some Alabama fertility clinics are halting operations, and even some, otherwise pro-life advocates are are opposed to the decision… But why should they be opposed.

Team Biden Targets Peaceful Pro-Life Activists, by Thomas Gallatin

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post – While the Biden administration pays lip service to “equity” and “justice,” their actions belie the fact that they are motivated by no such altruistic concerns.

How Do Pro-Lifers Keep Influence as Trump Rolls Up Victories? by Jason Jones & John Zmirak

By Jason Jones & John Zmirak, The Stream – John Zmirak: Is it good news for the pro-life cause, what’s happening in the Republican primaries? On the surface, it seems that we ought to be worried. The most solidly principled pro-life candidate, Ron De Santis, dropped out after losing big in heavily evangelical Iowa. So he’s not there to put pressure on Trump from the right. Pro-choice-with-exceptions Nikki Haley continues to campaign, rolling up votes from Democrats who don’t really support her. The media will play that as pressure on Trump from the left, and use it to argue that Trump has to abandon his already squishy pro-life stands, in order to win the votes …..

There is Only One Christian Position on Abortion: Killing Babies is Wrong, by Dave Andrusko

By Dave Andrusko, LifeNews – In a sense it only makes sense to our benighted opposition that they would see access to abortion as “a blessing.” The rationales run the gamut from A-Z but the blanket excuse that undergird this mentality for the person of faith is that why would God give us free will if we can’t exercise it?

Msgr. Richard C. Antall: We Live Among Barbarians

By Msgr. Richard C. Antall, Crisis Magazine – Ohio’s Issue One, which enshrines abortion on demand—and up to nine months of pregnancy—has won.

Ohio Passes Issue 1 to Allow Killing Babies in Abortions Up to Birth, by Steven Ertelt 

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Ohio voters approved Issue 1 (Tuesday night) after a monumental abortion battle in the Buckeye State. With 57 percent of the vote counted, Ohio voted 56% to 44% for Issue 1, which will make killing babies in abortions a so-called “right” in the state constitution… The result was not surprising given how abortion advocates bought the vote. Also, Ohio voters also voted today on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana. That very likely increased turnout of liberal voters who were more likely to vote for abortion.

Planned Parenthood Sugarcoats the Abortion Pill, by Samantha Harris

By Samantha Harris, The Population Research Institute – How it Works… The deception begins with the name itself.  The so-called “abortion pill” is actually two separate pills taken at different times.  These two pills have complicated names– Mifepristone (mi-fe-pri-stone) and Misoprostol (miso- pro-stol)–but straightforward effects: The first starves the baby while the second induces labor to expel it.

Democrats’ Abortion Activism Hinges On Lies And Deception, by Jordan Boyd

By John M. Grondelski, Ph.D., Catholic World Report – Issue One declares that “every individual has the right to make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions, including … abortion.” Now, when it comes to the unborn child, is he a “person” or not?… Issue One is unclear. Is he a “person” whose personhood doesn’t count, or at least is preempted by the decision to have an abortion? Or is he not a person at all? Is he a never a person, sometimes a person, or always a person? Issue One doesn’t answer that question, at least clearly.

OHIO: Issue 1 Would Allow Sex Changes on Minor Children Without Parents Even Knowing, Vote NO, by Ken Blackwell

George Soros Foundations Spending Millions for Ohio Pro-Abortion Campaign, Millions for Anti-Semitic Terror Groups, by Tom Gilson

By Tom Gilson, The Stream – Next Tuesday Ohio will be deciding on Issue 1, a despicably pro-abortion, anti-family proposed state constitutional amendment. George Soros, the world’s richest leftist string-puller, has poured multiple millions from outside the state into swaying the vote. It’s another case of Soros wanting people everywhere doing things his way… He and his foundations have contributed more than $12 million of the $40 million raised to push this despicable amendment on the state. If that doesn’t bother you as much as it does me as an Ohio resident, this might: The same Soros funding groups have donated even more heavily to anti-Israel, pro-Hamas groups.

Speaker Mike Johnson Makes Liberals Angry Because He’s a Married Pro-Life Christian, by Suzanne Bowdey

By Suzanne Bowdey, LifeNews – Of the 469 members of Congress who call themselves Christians, the country has decided to pick on one: Mike Johnson. Apparently, it’s not a crime to say you’re a person of faith — it’s a crime to act like one.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: Britney Spears Brings the Brutal Reality of Abortion Into the Light

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – So long as abortion activists can keep the public discussion of abortion restricted to their chosen language and talking points, they are safe.

The Roots of Our Disrespect for Life, by Robert B. Greving

By Robert B. Greving, Crisis Magazine – October is “Respect Life” month. In the minds of most, “respect life” means fighting abortion, and it is left at that. To leave it there, though, is to pull out the blade of a weed but leave the root intact; and if you don’t pull out the root, the weed will grow back. The root, in this case, is the seldom—if ever—mentioned sin of contraception and the “contraceptive mentality” that it has spawned. It is the woolly mammoth in the room that is never talked about.

COMMENTARY: The Pro-Life Movement’s Achilles’ Heel, by Daniel and Nellie Kuebler

By Daniel and Nellie Kuebler, EWTN News – The state-level battles over abortion are exposing what decades of a widespread contraceptive mentality has done to the spiritual state of our nation… Last year’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v.

Catholic Bishops Need to Vocally Speak Out Against Abortion, by Christopher Manion Ph.D.

By Christopher Manion Ph.D., LifeNews – Today, the few pro-family advocates at the USCCB are squirreled away in a tiny office in the conference’s D.C. headquarters, while our bishops advocate an endless stream of political programs that lie in the realm that properly belongs to the laity… And what about the family? As Cardinal Dolan observed in 2012, America’s bishops’ have suffered from “laryngitis over speaking about issues of chastity and sexual morality” for years… The truths of Humanae Vitae are timeless. One hundred years ago, America’s bishops clearly and steadfastly defended them. Today they’ve mostly gone silent.

On the ‘Necessary Murder’, by John M. Grondelski

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing – Murders for socio-economic reasons pose no insurmountable barrier: just redefine “health” (as Proposition 1, soon to be voted on in Ohio does)… It’s only the bravest of the brave or the tenured partisans who are honest enough to admit abortion ends a life, but then argue that murder is “necessary” just because the child’s mother wants it. Most find such candor alienates the ambivalent middle and so prefer the “semantic gymnastics” required for the wholesale justification of abortion.

Nuremburg Trials for the White Coats Who Stoked the COVID Panic? Steve Deace Interviewed, by John Zmirak

By John Zmirak, The Stream – Zmirak: You’ve co-authored a meticulously researched, fact-packed book with Daniel Horowitz, Rise of the Fourth Reich, about the public health dictatorship that was foisted on the public across the world on the pretext of the COVID panic.

As we thoroughly explain in the introduction, both of us are actually pretty hesitant to make Nazi comparisons historically. However, the parallels here are just too stark to ignore, right down to weaponizing public health under the guise of “science” for the purposes of establishing unprecedented government power and control over individual rights.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: Mothers Shaping Human Souls

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – The world is starving for lack of love. Not for a lack of office workers, or lawyers, or doctors. But for love. And yet, for some reason, we have dismissed the fundamental role that mothers play, and have always played, in bringing more love into the world: loving a person from the very first moments of his or her existence. If she feels called to, and if circumstances allow for it, a mother should feel zero guilt in seceding from the marketplace in order to devote her full attention to her children. She is, after all, doing the most important work in the world: shaping human souls.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet: Texas Abortion Pill Ruling and Its Implications

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – In the year 2000, the US FDA approved two chemical abortion drugs. The pair of drugs – mifepristone and misoprostol – are sometimes referred to as RU-486.

Born-Alive Act Redux! by Hadley Arkes

By Hadley Arkes, The Catholic Thing – The Born-Alive Survivors of Abortion Protection Act, is not going to be enacted in this Congress. But it will have put a mark on the political terrain.

Life, By the Numbers, Revisited, by Robert Royal

By Robert Royal, The Catholic Thing – That number does not include the number of babies killed by elective abortions, however, which at one time would have been thought a rare, emergency measure.

We Need More Babies, by Emmy Griffin

By Emmy Griffin, Patriot Post – Government, environmentalism, and feminism have been feeding women the lie that overpopulation is a problem. The government has a vested interest in keeping women in the workforce; it enriches the coffers.

Feminists declare that women and men are the same, so women are supposed to like pursuing a career, sleeping around without consequences, and getting a big paycheck. …

The Tragic Consequences of Removing God From American Life, by James Robison

By James Robison, The Stream – When all life is not valued (60 million of the most innocent among us have been sacrificed in the last five decades!), it should not come as a shock that many people seem to devalue any and all lives for whatever reason.

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – What, indeed, is it that we value as a society? Do we appreciate the great gift that is a human life?

Young Catholics Are Enthusiastically Pro-Life, by Paul Krause

By Paul Krause, The Wanderer – One of the blessings of being involved in Catholic educational work is getting to know young Catholic students. While trendy Catholic “rebels” tend to take the media clout, young Catholics who are devout in their faith, I have found, are enthusiastically pro-life. This should fill us with great hope… Abortion used to be “the Catholic issue.” While evangelicals and various Baptist groups initially supported Roe v.

Overcoming Hardness of Hearts on Abortion, by Regis Martin

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – How imbecilic must one be, I wonder, not to know when life begins? Even if one had slept through every high school biology class, somewhere along the line, surely, the facts of life would have intruded themselves. After all, human reproduction is not like astrophysics, the details of which only members of Mensa may know.

If Roe Is Overturned, Bishops Can No Longer Let Catholic Democrats Off The Hook, by Robert Busek

By Robert Busek, The Federalist – For years, it has been clear that Democrats must toe the line on supporting child murder or be purged from the ranks. No other issue comes close to this shibboleth of the left; to the party of today, a Democrat must favor unrestricted abortion or he is no Democrat… For almost 50 years, the bishops have actively avoided holding these lawmakers accountable for promoting the Culture of Death in return for the party’s lip service to Catholic social teaching.

Sister Renée Mirkes, OSF: Aquinas on When Human Life Begins

By Sister Renée Mirkes, OSF, The Catholic Thing – public discussion of when human life begins ought to include the most current embryology as interpreted by sound philosophical anthropology.

Boquet, Human Life International – If we are given this chance to rewrite the wrong that has brought about the death of over 63 million unborn children… then we must take this moment by the horns and settle for nothing less than a complete rejection of the culture of death that spawned ubiquitous and legal abortion… With Roe gone, the battle is just beginning. …

Child Sacrifice Is Nothing New, by Thomas Shaffern

By Thomas Shaffern, Crisis Magazine – At the birth of an ancient Spartan, the parents brought the child before a group of elders who inspected the child for deformities.

This practice came about because Spartans considered children property of the state and not the parents, sound familiar?

Let the Beautiful Creature Live, by Anthony Esolen

By Anthony Esolen, Crisis Magazine – What strikes me is that, in all my life, I have never heard a single supporter of the abortion license describe that child as beautiful. If you must level an old neighborhood to build an airport, you may mourn for the houses to be razed, the streams to be choked up, the contours of the land to be effaced, the human memories to be obliterated. We would consider it rather monstrous in you if you did not do so.

The Roe v. Wade Firefight, by Jack Devine

By Jack Devine, Patriot Post – Suddenly, the future of Roe v. Wade is the number one issue on American minds — and a public brouhaha of the highest order… It remains to be seen who engineered the public release of a highly confidential court document.

By Donald DeMarco, The Wanderer – If Roe v. Wade is overturned, the American people will benefit, though these benefits will be denied by many who persist in opposing the very essence of their country as established by its Founding Fathers and concretized in its Constitution.

By Gary Bauer, CNS News – According to a leaked draft opinion by pro-life stalwart Justice Samuel Alito, that Trump majority appears ready to overturn Roe v.

Convincing the Apathetic Middle the Truth About Abortion, by Kennedy Hall

By Kennedy Hall, Crisis Magazine – Although I sit on the other side of the Covid Curtain, and my Soy Minister in Chief has yet again shown he is a lapsed Catholic apostate by trumpeting the “right to abortion,” I am overjoyed at the thought of the international precedent this will set. America, the most powerful nation on earth, will very soon stare down the slaughter of innocents and tell Moloch to take a time out. That demon has had his hour, but God will have His day. 

Roe v. Wade v. Eternity, by David Warren

By David Warren, The Catholic Thing – It is good news, that after half a century America is returning to the rule of law, and that extravagant legal fictions – in the name of privacy – are now being exposed as such by a majority of the Court… We guess this from a Court decision leaked, probably for the political motives of a rogue law clerk.

What Would a Post-Roe Landscape Really Look Like? by George Neumayr

By Thaddeus G. McCotter, American Greatness – “Woke” is one of the most bitterly ironic terms in the post-modern lexicon, for the members of its death cult are anything but alert and self-aware.

What the Lubbock Sanctuary for the Unborn Shows Us, by James Anthony
