After passing a pro-assisted suicide and euthanasia law, legislators in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) boasted that it is the "most progressive" assisted suicide model in Australia.

Democrats are on track to win a narrow majority on the state Board of Education, imperiling Biblical education in public schools and other policies. As the ramifications of Democrats’ massive success in Tuesday’s midterm elections sink in, few places are likely to feel the shift more acutely than the previously-safe Republican stronghold of Texas, where a potential flip of the state Board of Education threatens to imperil religious education in public schools.

Much has been written about how euthanasia in Canada has been used as a cost-saving method because it’s cheaper for the government to offer assisted dying than healthcare to disabled people.

Whatever happened to dating? New film tackles America’s relationship crisis

Nov 9, 2026 |

The short documentary “The Dating Project” opens with a prologue from a Catholic priest explaining how he prays for young men and women to find one another for a holy Catholic marriage — but it’s also probably the most secular product the storied Family Theater Productions company has ever produced. It is a short film, but a big topic. And the situation is urgent. According to the film, for the first time in American history, more people are single than married.

What Is Happening to Human Rights?

Nov 9, 2026 |

In a limpid and profound book, Agnes Louis purports to explain the surprisingly persuasive power of progressivism in today’s society: on one hand, progressivism grandiosely declares each of its innovations (new rights, new laws) as if these were the advent of a new civilization, one that is at last humane. On the other hand, or rather at the same time, it explains that this great change changes almost nothing, or more precisely that it only extends the long succession of social [and societal] “advances,” that it is just one more step in the “long march of human rights.” This moral and intellectual device indeed deserves a vast and very careful examination.

Leading Think Tank Launches Important ‘Get Married Initiative’

Nov 9, 2026 |

Across the world, marriage is every single society’s most foundational and important human institution. No nation, in the long history of the world, has ever found a way to maintain a growing, thriving, and safe society, particularly for women and children, without marriage.
