In our struggle to remind our fellow citizens that pregnancy involves two people, we often confront the challenge of saying things in new or better ways in order to catch the fleeting attention of others. It has been said that, over the past 10 years or so due to the advent of social media, the […]
Anticipation is building to a fever pitch in and around the nation’s capital as various types of leaders jockey for position and posture while waiting for that big moment when the Supreme Court reaches a decision on Obamacare. The questions remain: What will be the fallout and what can we expect? There are three scenarios […]
A recent headline proclaiming the great advances science has made in detecting genetic defects in preborn children sent a chill down my pro-life spine. Proclaiming the incredible news that a day is upon us when scientists will be able to run genetic tests that will identify more than 3,500 genetic irregularities, the reporter echoed a concern raised […]
Recently, Emily Herx, a teacher in a Catholic school, announced to the nation through major media outlets that she had been fired from a Catholic school because she used in vitro fertilization in an attempt to get pregnant. Herx is now suing St. Vincent DePaul Catholic School and the Fort Wayne, Indiana, Catholic diocese for […]
What do sex trafficking and abortion have in common? Well, according to a federal judge, Catholic service agencies that refuse to offer abortion to women victimized by sex trafficking are not eligible for government funding. In 2009, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the federal government, arguing that the government “has allowed the USCCB […]
Many are the citations of late that expose a rampant increase in man’s desire to deny scientific truth in favor of sham-science. This is perhaps most obvious in the matter of intrinsic human rights which, fundamentally, begin when a particular individual begins. Or not? It depends on who is pontificating about that beginning, how the […]
Every time the subject of human personhood is raised, somebody immediately argues that legal recognition of personhood would mean an end to in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is true that any procedure that has as a byproduct the killing of human beings prior to birth would be outlawed—and that includes IVF. But few want to […]
Ever since the Obama administration chose to ramrod a policy that is anathema to Catholic doctrine, we have seen all sorts of machinations emanating from the media, twisting and mollifying the argument in order to remove clarity from exactly what it is Obama is attempting to do. We have heard that since so many Catholics […]
The only folks who might have missed the fallacious claim that 98 percent of Catholics use contraception are those who have no newspaper or television set around. Lucky folks! The rest of us must consider the stark reality that whatever the media reports, no matter how wrong it might be, it will grab hold, stick […]
The politically approved scientific use of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) for research and experimentation has plagued our quest for recognition of intrinsic human rights ever since the first such experiment became public in 1993. In 1998, a University of Wisconsin press release touted a discovery by UW researcher James Thomson and stated, “The dream […]
Reflections on the miracle of Christmas abound during this final week of preparation for the arrival of the Baby Jesus—our King of King and Lord of Lords. But clearly not everyone is sincerely celebrating the miracle of life and the gift of the human being. We live in a time of heightened threats against those […]
This is the season for Christian love and goodwill. Yet the air is polluted with the bombast of pro-aborts who never seem to stop spewing. These folks do not concern themselves with the true meaning of Christmas. Christ does not fit into their game plan—as recent comments from their choir make abundantly clear. The Harvard […]
Righteous: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin – according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, it is the exemplification of a justice The fundamental principle of justice—in law, in governing, in treating all peoples with equity—is the cornerstone of a humane society. It is important to understand […]
Manic: affected with, relating to, characterized by, or resulting from mania There is no other word that better defines man’s desire to perfect man than the mania that drives so many to eliminate human imperfection by killing human beings. This craving has gripped the very core of those we have come to identify as the […]
Twisted values have always been a Planned Parenthood hallmark whether discussing the human rights of the preborn or a believer’s right to love God. No matter what the right thing to do might be, you can count on Planned Parenthood to do the opposite. For example, during the November 2 hearing on Capitol Hill which […]
Organ-robbing is something that, in polite company, is referred to as organ donation or organ removal from a “dead” body or some similar term. The idea is to persuade the public that donating a vital organ is a brilliant idea, and since the person making the donation is dead, who’s to care? Well, folks, you […]
Incredible as it seems, there is more gore spewing from Planned Parenthood’s inner sanctum each passing day. Let’s begin in Kansas where documentation is destroyed and late-term abortionists are held in the highest esteem. It seems that all of the records required by law to ensure that Planned Parenthood was complying with the law, regarding […]
Over the past couple of years a great many shocking facts have emerged about the inherent dangers associated with “reproductive technology,” including and most specifically in vitro fertilization (IVF). As couples persist in believing that pursuing petri dish babies is the best alternative to suspected infertility, the negative evidence continues to mount—building a case on […]
The definitions of the terms used in a discussion can and do change the outcome. The political maxim, “He who frames the issue wins the debate” applies in many situations including how the public views what abortion is and why it is either legitimate or illicit. A chasm exists between those two positions, but what […]
Former attorney general Phill Kline is under attack by the world’s leading proponent of abortion, Planned Parenthood. It isn’t stated that way in the media headlines, of course, but the facts are clearly evident among those who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and the ability to discern the presence of evil. The 1956 […]
The Obama administration is close to proclaiming from its glass mountaintop the final decision to require most health insurers to cover contraceptives, the morning-after pill, and elective sterilization. The public comment period is over. The people have spoken into that vacuum known as government of the people, by the people, and for the administration. The […]
The United States of America is about to witness a series of phenomena that are stark reminders of the ever-growing gap between the family unit as we knew it in the fifties and the broken home that we recognize as emblematic of the current milieu. While we are hopeful that the most effective destroyer of […]
It has often been said by my fellow pro-lifers that it is simply untimely to expect the general population to understand the reasons why the practice of contraception not only leads to but, in many instances, causes abortion. And the problem with that argument is that, while we hesitate, Planned Parenthood and its allies sow […]
Catholic scholars are up in arms about the latest interim rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, which is alleged to provide First Amendment protections to religious entities involved in health care, health insurance, and other programs impacted by the mandated distribution of contraception. In a letter signed by more than 20 […]
