Philippines: Government Rejects UN Injunctions on Abortion.

Justice Undersecretary Raul Vasquez said the Philippine delegation rejected the recommendations outright “because of national identity, our religious beliefs and our cultural traditions and the Philippine sovereignty that need to be protected and defended at all times.”

“These are the usual countries that always pick on the Philippines. These are the rich countries from Europe that are very, very high on individual rights and have no notion of community rights. But I think we did very well,” Vasquez said, according to the Manila Times. Pro-life leaders say United States President Joe Biden has also lobbied pro-life countries to legalize abortion.

Marriage/Family

Leading Family Trends That Should Concern Everyone / Part 1.

This is a special three-part series on six leading family trends that every friend of the family should be mindful of.

Loss of Objectivity of Male and Female

The most fundamental natural truth of family is that it exists and is generated at the intersection of male and female. But the objective meaning of male and female is being gutted in mainstream culture and the minds of young people today. Read more

She’s (Not) Having a Baby.

Canada’s fertility rate has fallen persistently for the last 15 years with no clear bottom in sight. To some commentators, this is a harbinger of troubles ahead, as smaller and smaller cohorts of young Canadians may struggle to bear the load of supporting retirees and integrating immigrants. To others, this is cause for celebration—a victory for women’s equality and a boon in combatting climate change.

In this report, we introduce another perspective on Canada’s falling fertility rates, asking not how the fertility choices of Canadian women affect the economy or the environment but whether those behaviours reflect what women want. Read more

Should Women Settle for Mr. Good Enough?

American adults are currently delaying marriage more and more and are not having enough babies to replace our current population. And it’s no secret that in 2022, women (especially religious women) who want kids are not served by our promiscuous, broken culture.

Before the 20th century, marriage was not viewed as a Disney movie ending personally tailored to you. It had religious significance and economic necessity. Read more

Parenting/Parental Rights

Screen Time and the Battle for Your Child’s Mind.

Any tool can be misused. A hammer can construct or kill. An electrical wire can give instant light or, if mishandled, bring sudden death.

So it is with computers and televisions. They are valuable and helpful but also potentially dangerous. So, when children use “screens,” parents need to be extra vigilant. One reason is the predatory nature of some of the internet’s more evil components and the rot that’s on both network and cable TV. Read more

Exposing Radical Florida Lawmaker’s Attempted Hijacking of Parental Rights.

Legislation introduced in the Florida House of Representatives this month is being touted by its sponsor as a “children’s rights” bill, but it would be more accurate to call it what it is, a “usurpation of parental rights” bill.

Characterizing far-left Democratic state Rep. Michele Rayner-Goolsby’s HB 217 as a children’s rights bill is a travesty, first and foremost because the rights of a child are never in conflict with parental rights. The two are always congruent. Read more

Public Schools Are Avoiding CRT Ban With Trojan Horse Of ‘Social Emotional Learning’.

FCPS and other maneuvering school districts in Virginia work around Youngkin’s executive order with the Trojan horse of “Social Emotional Learning” (SEL). The name sounds innocuous. Few would object to actual social and emotional health education, especially considering children’s mental health crisis, largely caused by pandemic policies such as prolonged school closures.

But SEL curricula have a duplicitous goal. Lisa Logan explains in a PragerU video that its real purpose is to “redistribute power to promote social justice through student engagement in school and civic life.” In other words, SEL is the primary weapon leftists use to politically indoctrinate our children. Read more

Sanctity of Life

Biden Urges Congress to ‘Restore Soul of This Nation’ by Expanding Abortion, Transgenderism in SOTU.

During his State of the Union Address Tuesday night, President Joe Biden called on Congress “to restore the soul of this nation” by making abortion legal nationwide until birth and passing a bill that would force religious employers to hire people who identify as transgender. Read more

Study: 60 Percent Of Women Who Aborted Babies Say They Were Pressured Into It.

Abortion doesn’t just take one life. It claims two.

Study after study shows women who move forward with the deadly procedure that terminates pregnancies are far more likely to suffer higher rates of depression and suicidal ideation. Now, results of a new nationwide survey published last week in the Cureus medical journal reveals how many women are pressured into abortion over birth. Read more

Research Confirms 95.7% of Abortions are Killing Babies as Birth Control, Just .3% for Rape.

It’s true that many women use abortion for birth control.

Yet the percentage of women who sacrifice their own children to maintain a lifestyle shocked even me.

An analysis of state abortion statistics by Charlotte Lozier Institute revealed an appalling, widespread practice of women using abortion as a means of birth control. Read more

Religion

UN to push religious communities to ‘fully comply’ with human rights law to ’empower’ LGBT+ people.

The United Nations announced plans to release a report in June regarding “perceived contradictions” between “the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB)” and “sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).” The report aims to push governments to “fully comply” with international human rights law to “protect and empower” the participation of LGBT+ people in religious communities, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. Read more

“Freedom of religion is seriously violated by the Belarusian regime”.

Due to the 2002 Religion Law, many groups face restrictions “on which communities can meet, where, who they are led by, and what literature they may use”, stresses the survey.

Under that law, a state registration is mandatory for all religious groups, that is why “the only communities which may freely exercise their freedom of religion are state-registered religious communities within state-approved places of worship or other venues”. Read more

Oregon Bill Attacks Free Speech and Christian Faith.

House Bill 2458 amends previous legislation that prohibited such counseling for minors, extending the state censorship to all adults.

The bill bans “conversion therapy” – a meaningless term created by those who oppose anyone leaving homosexuality or transgenderism. There is no counseling or therapeutic model called “conversion therapy.” Read more

Surfer Bethany Hamilton slams decision to let gender-confused men compete against women.

Hamilton said she won’t compete in or support any WSL events if the rule remains in place.

“I think many of the girls currently on tour are not in support [of] this new rule, and they fear being ostracized if they speak up,” the surfer said in a Sunday Instagram video reacting to the league’s February 3 announcement. “So, here I go.”

Starting out by affirming that she “strive[s] to have love for all of mankind regardless of any differences,” Hamilton nevertheless said she wanted to express her concerns about the move. Read more

44% of Canada’s gender-confused prisoners are in jail for sex crimes: gov’t report.

A recent report by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) shows that almost half of gender-confused male inmates are in prison for violent sexual offences.

The study from 2022 titled, Gender Diverse Offenders with a History of Sexual Offending shows a troubling trend amongst gender-confused male inmates who claim they are women. Read more
