Marriage/Family

Follow the science: Devout married people experience the most sexual satisfaction.

If we are going to follow the science and pursue happiness with regards to sex, progressives are in for a nasty shock. Some of you may remember the study that was released in 2019 indicating that the happiest of all American wives consider themselves religious conservatives. Another recent study found that those who waited for marriage to have sex and slept with only one person had the highest levels of sexual satisfaction and the best quality marriages. Read more

Planned Parenthood Can’t Hide Its Problem with Adoption.

Given that the abortion industry thrives on manipulating women into rejecting both parenthood and adoption, it is little wonder that Planned Parenthood is ill-inclined to educate mothers about all their options. In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood revealed that in 2020-2021, it referred only 1,940 mothers for adoption — a steep drop from the previous year’s 2,667 referrals and 2018’s 4,279 referrals.

Make no mistake, it is a good thing that 1,940 women who went to Planned Parenthood may have chosen adoption over abortion for their child — but this number who hopefully survived their mother’s Planned Parenthood visit is dwarfed by the 383,460 abortion procedures that the group committed in the same year. For an organization whose mission is supposedly to “help people live full, healthy lives,” the path to adoption as a method of achieving this goal for both mother and baby is conspicuously closed. Read more

Making Space for Men to Become Fathers.

Work and property conditions are a couple material reasons American men don’t have the space to grow into husband material. Farmer boy has them and men today do not. But it’s also true that in all his room to roam our young farmer doesn’t have something that they do have: a kind of negative space, in the supposed freedoms of no-fault divorce. The statistics make clear, the vast majority of divorces are initiated by women. Our homesteader is seeking a wife in a world where—not just culturally, but legally—there will be more ties that bind him and his bride together. Like the fish in the ocean, there’s true freedom in limits, and space to grow in the fence of a socially reinforced marriage. There is a confidence to it that it would be hard for us to approximate. Marriage is placing a bet on the future, and the odds are partly worse today because the rules are simply different in a very important way. Read more

Parenting/Parental Rights

Lawmakers, Parents Vow to Stop Infiltration of LGBT Gender Ideology in Schools.

As parents become more aware of what radical activists are teaching their kids in school, a group of House Republicans held a “Back-to-School Roundtable” on Capitol Hill aimed at protecting children from LGBT ideology.

House Republicans’ Protect Kids Caucus hosted the meeting Thursday morning to bring together lawmakers, concerned parents, and members of the Independent Women’s Forum, a conservative group. Read more

School choice could help Hispanic students break through the achievement gap.

Latino children deserve better. Just look at the numbers. Too many Hispanic students drop out of the K-12 education system each year, more than any other ethnic group in the United States. Add the learning loss suffered as a result of pandemic policies, and it’s clear we’re sitting on a crisis.

The good news, however, is that we can turn things around by expanding school choice programs across the country and growing awareness about education options within the Hispanic community. Read more

WPATH Explains Why They Removed Minimum Age Guidelines For Children to Access Transgender Medical Treatments.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) recently released new guidelines for children in their new “Standards of Care.”

The Daily Wire previously reported on the WPATH’s decision to remove the minimum age recommendations for minors to receive medical interventions that permanently alter the body. A new live-streamed session from WPATH’s annual conference on Sunday reveals why they made this change from previous editions: so that doctors wouldn’t face malpractice lawsuits. Read more

Sanctity of Life

Legendary French director dies by assisted suicide as nation considers its legalization.

A pioneer of the French New Wave film movement in the 1960s, he was beloved by many, and left a huge mark on the film industry. Yet Godard’s death is raising troubling questions, as he had traveled to Switzerland to undergo assisted suicide — allegedly not because he was ill or dying, but because he was simply tired of living. And on the heels of his death, France is considering legalizing assisted suicide as well. Read more

Chileans Resoundingly Reject Radical Constitution.

On Sunday, September 4, citizens of Chile faced a decision that would affirm or deny the “gender ideology” as never before. At stake was the proposal for the adoption of an entirely new constitution drafted by a newly elected and radical leftist majority.

The proposed text shaped the concept of personhood and all areas of social life around the “gender ideology,” all designed to force the agenda of abortion, euthanasia, and other destructive measures on an unwilling population. Read more

A host of land, sea, and freshwater animals are more protected under American laws than unborn babies in some states across the nation.

In at least six states, an unborn child legally may be killed up until the moment of birth. In these same states, it is illegal to kill or even transport the eggs of a bald or golden eagle without a proper permit. Read more

Yeshiva University ends all student groups after court orders it to recognize gay activist student group.

When presented with a court order to formally recognize an LGBT student group, the Jewish Yeshiva University in New York City determined it would be optimal to “hold off on all undergraduate club activities while it takes steps to follow the roadmap provided by the US Supreme Court to protect YU’s religious freedom.”

On April 27, 2021, a cadre of former and past students sued Yeshiva University to force the institution to recognize their gay activist group, the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance. The students behind the suit suggested that the college’s refusal amounted to a violation of New York’s human rights law.

In June, Democratic Judge Lynn Kotler of the New York Supreme Court First Judicial District ruled that Yeshiva University must approve the formation of the gay activist club. Kotler argued that the college did not constitute a “religious corporation,” but was instead — according to its own charter — an “educational corporation,” meaning the city’s anti-discrimination law applied. Read more

Christianity is set to become a MINORITY faith as soon as 2060 as millions embrace secularism, study shows.

America’s majority faith has an uncertain future — the share of Christians is set to fall to as low as 35 percent by 2070 as millions become agnostic, atheist or unaffiliated, a study of religious trends shows.

Pew Research Center says the number of U.S. adults identifying as Christian has dropped from 90 percent in the 1990s to 64 percent now, and will likely trend downwards into a minority faith over the coming decades.

The decline is due to Christians switching to ‘nones’ — a secular mishmash of atheists, agnostics and those with no religious identity — which is set to grow from about 30 percent nowadays to as much as 52 percent by 2070. Read more

Sexuality

Report: Puberty blockers foisted upon minors proven to have devastating, irreversible effects.

A study published on September 19 in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy explained that puberty blockers, also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists or GnRHa drugs, are not just creating sexless adults, although GnRHa is a drug “licensed to chemically castrate men.” They are: depleting victims’ bone density; hampering their cognitive development; and producing a myriad of deleterious emotional effects. Read more

Explosive report reveals Vanderbilt promoted transgender surgeries to make ‘huge money’.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center promoted mutilating “gender transitions” for minors as a “huge money maker” and saw moral objections to participating in the practice as a problem to be punished, according to explosive video uncovered by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. Read more

How Big Tech Turns Kids Trans.

“When I was fifteen, I was introduced to gender ideology on Tumblr and began to call myself nonbinary.” So writes 23-year-old American Helena Kirschner in her heart-wrenching autobiographical piece, “By Any Other Name.” In her testimony, Helena traces her pursuit of gender transition back to her adolescent obsession with Tumblr’s pastel-colored icons of waifish androgyny. The time spent on these blogs began to distort her self-perception. Eventually they led her to virtual haunts where her “friends” blamed her teenage angst on being born in the wrong body. Read more
