By Jason Morgan [Matsui Kazu explains:] The government wants children to spend long hours in daycare so their mothers (and fathers) can work long hours and pay taxes, though there are not nearly enough professional, dedicated, nursery-school teachers to act in loco parentis. Part-time staff, with little to no training and, sometimes, little to no dedication, are brought in to make up the difference. Here is where the bottom begins to fall out. CLICK TO READ Ohio Abortion Lobby Doesn't Want Women to Be Told Baby Has a Heartbeat By Matt Lamb One reason the industry might oppose the law is that women tend to choose life, and thus won’t give money to Planned Parenthood, the more they know about their babies. For example, a 2024 report from Heartbeat International found “80% of women considering an abortion choose life when they see an ultrasound.”  CLICK TO READ A Stunning Defeat for Irish Elites From the 50th Anniversary Summer/Fall Issue of the Human Life Review By David Quinn  Without really thinking of the consequences, [Ireland has] been rushing pell-mell into the same set of social norms as most of the rest of the Western world. ... All of the above is by way of setting the scene for a surprising recent development in Ireland—one that will encourage the readers of the Human Life Review—namely, the resounding defeat of two more referendums intended to usher us further down the path of “progress.” And these were referendums that the government was extremely confident they would win.

That certainly is the case for the pastor of a parish in the city that never sleeps! Yet this description of day-to-day life really applies to just about everyone. ... And all too often an interruption is an obstacle to getting things done in a timely manner. CLICK TO READ Homily for Epiphany By Rev. George Brooks  [T]he wise men would not have been drawn to Christ if they had not first been attracted to the people of whom Christ was born: the Jews—to their practice of religion, to their God who made his people so distinctive and exemplary. And the same is true today. People will be drawn to Jesus only if they find his people—Christians, and our way of life—attractive to them. CLICK TO READ Iowa House Speaker Promotes Focus on "Alternatives" over Further Protections for the Unborn By Matt Lamb  Iowa’s House speaker is suffering from a bad case of either/or syndrome. He recently suggested that helping women choose life should come ahead of legal protections for preborn babies in the Hawkeye State, rather than supporting both types of legislation with equal focus.
