Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
This week, Judie discusses justice, explaining the Church’s teaching that it is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will for people to give their due to both God and neighbor.

CBC Applauds FTC Lawsuit Against WPATH for Deceptive Practices Harming Minors
The Center for Bioethics and Culture (CBC), which has long warned about the profound medical, psychological, and ethical harms of medicalizing gender distress in minors, strongly supports this week's action by the Federal Trade Commission and allied states against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The complaint alleges that WPATH promoted deceptive and unsupported claims regarding the safety, effectiveness, and necessity of medical “transition” interventions for minors, while minimizing serious risks including infertility.
For the last decade, highlighted in the three documentary films produced on the topic, the CBC has highlighted how WPATH’s “Standards of Care” (SOC-8) prioritize ideological affirmation over rigorous evidence, patient safety, and informed consent. The organization’s guidelines have enabled a rush to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors despite mounting independent reviews—such as the UK’s Cass Report—demonstrating weak evidence, significant risks, and the need for far greater caution. The FTC’s complaint echoes many of these concerns, alleging that WPATH’s guidelines and representations helped drive the expansion of a transition medicine industry while minimizing serious risks to children’s long-term health and fertility.
The Texas State Legislature has an important opportunity to protect human beings from being treated as property by the medical industry. The CBC needs to be there, bringing lawmakers the real people and stories behind the abuses of reproductive and biomedical technologies. We need to raise $3,000 for travel expenses so we can bring the testimony of those exploited by Big Fertility directly to lawmakers in Texas.Donate Now
Congressman Perry Introduces Bills Targeting Surrogacy by Foreign Nationals and Sex Offenders
This month, Congressman Scott Perry (R-PA), joined by Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL), introduced two landmark bills targeting child exploitation and closing yet another loophole that’s endangering our National security. The “Protecting Kids from Creeps Act” (H.R. 9131) imposes penalties on surrogacy agencies that enter into agreements with sex offenders. The “Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act (H.R. 9132),” prohibits foreign nationals from obtaining children through a U.S.-based surrogacy agency. The CBC endorses both bills. They quoted our own Kallie Fell in their press release:
"According to Kallie Fell, Executive Director for the Center for Bioethics and Culture, "For far too long, reproductive technologies and the commercial surrogacy industry have advanced faster than the laws designed to govern them. As surrogacy has become increasingly commercialized, globalized, and complex, meaningful safeguards for women and children have too often been treated as an afterthought. Commercial surrogacy has created a marketplace in which children can be bought, sold, and transferred across borders through contractual arrangements that too often prioritize the desires of adults over the rights and welfare of children. Congressman Perry's legislation confronts two of the most troubling consequences of this industry: the exploitation and commodification inherent in international surrogacy arrangements, and the placement of children into situations that would not be permitted under U.S. adoption law. Children should never be treated as products of a contractual transaction, nor should public policy ignore the vulnerabilities created by a rapidly expanding fertility marketplace. We’re proud to support these bills and commend Congressman Perry for his leadership in advancing policies that protect vulnerable women and children while placing the dignity, safety, and best interests of children first.""Read the Full Press Release
Take Action: Support Root-Cause Fertility Care
Many people ask how they can help advance policies that support authentic, patient-centered fertility care. Here is one simple opportunity.
The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury are accepting public comments through July 13 on a proposed federal rule regarding employer-sponsored fertility benefits. This proposal presents an important opportunity to encourage the inclusion of root-cause approaches to infertility—often called Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM)—which focus on diagnosing and treating underlying health conditions rather than bypassing them.
We encourage you to submit a brief public comment supporting the inclusion of root-cause fertility care, comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, and restorative treatments within any fertility benefit framework. Maybe you or your family have been negatively impacted by the fertility industry and want to share your story! Every comment is reviewed as part of the federal rulemaking process, and thoughtful feedback and personal testimony can help shape the final policy.
For those interested in participating, we have provided The Heritage Foundation's background guide with key information and suggested areas for comment. Please take a few minutes to learn more and consider adding your voice before the July 13 deadline.
Please consider a non-cash gift of stock, a grant from Donor-Advised funds, or a Qualified Charitable Distribution, all of which are more “tax-smart” than giving cash.

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Many celebrated. But now, with clear eyes, we must ask: Are we truly better off?
Instead of boldly declaring the personhood of every preborn child, the court sent the abortion battle back to the states. What followed was not protection but chaos.
Abortions are rising across America. The abortion pill has made killing preborn babies easier and more common than ever before. Chemical abortions now dominate, tearing apart tiny lives in the privacy of homes, often without medical supervision. The understanding of the value of every human person is sinking to a dangerous new low.
Our country is in a full-blown crisis. Prayer and bold action have never been more urgent.
That’s where you come in.
Will you take three simple but powerful steps with me today?
Contact the FDA commissioner immediately. Demand that they remove these deadly abortion pills from the market. Every day they remain available, more innocent children die.
Join me in prayer. Pray that the FDA will finally recognize the evil these pills inflict and pull them off the market for good.
Because prayer is integral in our fight, I wrote a simple yet powerful prayer for this intention. Will you pray it with me right now?
A Prayer for the Recall of Abortion Pills
Lord Jesus, the abortion pill regimen is putting Your preborn children and their mothers in grave danger. We ask You, Lord, to open the eyes of those at the Federal Drug Administration who approve these deadly pills and help them see the horror they are promoting. We pray that each of them will have the wisdom and fortitude to end the distribution of such chemicals. And we pray for the parents of these vulnerable children, as we ask You to help them see the beauty of their growing babies and strengthen their resolve and courage so that they will not seek death for their children.
We ask this in Christ Our Lord, Amen.
Your voice and your prayers truly matter. Every letter, every prayer, and every person you share this with helps save lives and restores respect for God’s precious gift of human life.
Please forward this email to your family, friends, and fellow pro-lifers today. The more voices that rise up, the harder it will be for the FDA to ignore the truth.
Thank you for standing strong in this critical hour. Together, with God’s help, we will defend the innocent and work to make America a nation that once again values every human life.

She was apprehensive about her boyfriend’s reaction. Should she tell him? “I decided he had the right to know,” she recalled. He reacted excitedly, wanting to move in together, proclaiming that bringing up their child would be “legendary!” Then it was like a switch flipped. He ordered abortion pills sent through the mail and delivered to Rosalie’s home. ...
[The father] justified their decision by noting that it’s a popular one, saying that “up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.” ... Pro-lifers were quick to push back on this heartbreaking decision and sad, dangerous rhetoric.
Christians who believe in the Real Presence should by that fact be able to draw the correct conclusion about children in the womb. ... We would be horrified at the sacrilege of scoffing at the Sacrament of the Eucharist as “just a clump of cells.” We should understand any similar dismissal of a living child in the womb as the same error.
New beginnings for our 8th grade graduates are opportunities to see life for what it really is—an adventure in knowing, loving and serving the Lord and our neighbor. ... We are all called to set out each day with that same confidence and trust in God.
The legislation says it advances the goal of “gender equity” and ensures “women, transgender men, and nonbinary individuals” can access “abortion medication services.”
