A new list from the SBA shows that 42 Planned Parenthood affiliates improperly took up to $151 million in PPP loans. Also this week, SCOTUS ruled 7-2 in favor of the Little Sisters of the Poor, closing this long and historic court case over abortion and birth control.

Art students in the Netherlands conceived (pun intended) a design for growing human fetuses in incubators. The concept was inspired by an artificial womb engineered to keep a premature lamb alive in the hopes that one day human babies born prematurely would have a better chance at survival.

The problem with classroom sex education is that it ignores the impact on the mental well-being of the child. Not all children mature at the same age. So how can a one-size-fits-all curriculum be expected to educate without consequences?

The United States government and all the states across America are providing us with a brand new way to get out the pro-life message in public. This week, we ask all pro-lifers to avail themselves of the opportunity to spread respect for life.

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
