HHS finds organ procurement abuses, with ‘brain death’ no longer required first
Following a complaint, HHS opened an investigation into “disturbing practices” in organ donation that led to the procurement (or attempted procurement) of organs from patients who were not brain dead. The practice, known as circulatory death donation, began to increase in 2021 after HHS began grading procurement organizations on how many transplants they arranged and planned to end contracts with organizations that failed to meet the national average. Organ procurement organization workers then began pressuring families and doctors to give them organs from patients who were still responsive — even from a woman whose heart was still beating and a man who cried and moved. HHS has now mandated that corrective actions must be taken with safeguards improved to protect patients.
Here are Four Women Planned Parenthood Killed in Botched Abortions
As soon as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed and signed, effectively denying Planned Parenthood any Medicaid reimbursements for one year, the abortion giant filed suit and secured a temporary injunction from a pro-abort judge that prevents the Department of Health and Human Services from enforcing the new law – at least, for the moment.
Shocking Report Shows Women Having Multiple Abortions, Some Killing 10 or More Babies
A recent report from the Minnesota Department of Health has revealed a troubling trend in the state’s abortion statistics, with some women undergoing multiple abortions, including a small number who have had 10 or more. The data, highlighted in a Substack article by pro-life journalist Sarah Terzo, underscores the scale of repeat abortions in Minnesota, raising concerns among pro-life advocates about the state’s permissive abortion policies.
Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage Harms Children and Society
As June marked the 10th anniversary of the legal de-sexing of marriage through the landmark U.S. Supreme Court Obergefell v. Hodges decision, all citizens of good will should consider how this ruling has impacted humanity through children. We must recognize that the case for same-sex marriage was always about the same-sex family. No one who advocated for this radical redefinition of marriage and family ever considered this was just about adults.
Did SCOTUS Just Transform America’s Schools?
Last month, on the final dramatic day of its term, the Supreme Court in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor affirmed the right of parents in Montgomery County, Md., to opt their children out of public school classes reading “LGBTQ+-inclusive” texts, on grounds that preventing such opt-outs unconstitutionally burdens parents’ religious freedom. Although religious liberty has been around since the Founding, its exercise in schools via opt-outs has become newly urgent with the spread of woke curricula.
To Be Silent is to Be Complicit
In recent days (and within days), the British Parliament rushed through legislation to legalize medically assisted death for terminally ill adults and passed a bill to “decriminalize” late-term abortion. Led by the increasingly extremist Labour party who are enabled by the moral confusion of a supposedly Conservative opposition, Britain is, as C.S. Lewis warned, progressing in the wrong direction. In response, Peter Hitchens asked, “Parliament votes for the abortion of the old, shortly after voting for the even more ruthless abortion of the unborn. Are we now ruled by a death cult?”
It’s Time for the American Church to Stop ‘Dithering’ About Faith
For years, it was not uncommon for everything related to Christianity, religion, and traditional values to be scorned and rejected as something whose time had come and gone. That attitude, however, seems to be slowly shifting.
Viral social media post reveals hidden pain of fathers grieving aborted children
l media post depicting the suffering of men whose children have been aborted has gone viral on social media this week. The July 7 post by a British pro-life medical doctor, Calum Miller, has amassed over 20 million views on X. The image he shared shows a simple comic with four pictures. In the first picture, a little boy is sitting on a swing, in the second, he is playing with his father, but the boy disappears in the third with only a faint silhouette of him remaining. In the fourth picture, the mother, seemingly dressed in business clothes and coming home from work, tells the father: “Let him go, the abortion was months ago.”
Poll: Most Americans agree with Supreme Court on LGBT issues, porn, parents’ rights
A recent poll has revealed that the majority of American adults’ beliefs align with recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings supporting parental authority, allowing states to ban transgender treatment for minors, and permitting authorities to require age verification on websites with sexually explicit content.
Late-term abortionist’s document: Carrying to term safer for women than abortion at 18+ weeks
The later a woman seeks an abortion in pregnancy, the more dangerous it is — as even infamous (now retired) late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd — who has ended the lives of an estimated 250,000 preborn babies — openly stated on one of his abortion patient consent forms.

A religious rights group in Spain is calling on the president of the European Commission to create a Special Coordinator to combat hate crimes against Christians. The Observatory for Religious Freedom in Spain on Wednesday urged Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, to create a position equivalent to existing specialists to combat antisemitism and Islamophobia in the European Union.
