Heretical German bishops are planning to introduce guidelines for Catholic schools promoting radical gender ideology without questioning its horrendous consequences for children.

The German Catholic News Agency (KNA) reports that the Catholic bishops, or more precisely, their school commission headed by Bishop Heinrich Timmerevers, are preparing a 20-page document on “sexual diversity” for Catholic schools.

The paper says schools should respect and make more visible students who are “non-binary” and “non-heterosexual.” It states that it is essential to “identify and reduce existing irritations and uncertainties in dealing with the diversity of sexual identity.”

The text, which has not yet been finalized and therefore not yet published, draws attention to the fact that many “queer students” go through years of painful inner insecurity and doubt. According to KNA, the paper denounces “queerphobic prejudice, discrimination, and bullying” against those students.

The paper was allegedly a response to a survey of 2,000 students, teachers, and parents at Catholic schools regarding “diversity of sexual identities.” In the survey conducted by the Berlin Institute for Christian Ethics and Politics, about 20 percent said they had experienced or observed discrimination against “homosexual, trans, or non-binary, i.e., queer, students,” KNA reports.

Millstones all round!

Leftist comedians are 'working' hard to normalise abortion. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe will be featuring yet another “comedy” show on abortion, as Irish comedian Katie Boyle explains, “I can f**king joke about [my abortion] if I want to”.  

In what appears to be becoming an annual event at the comedy festival, another comedian is set to be centering her act on abortion. This year, Boyle will be performing her latest comedy show at the Fringe in August titled Roe v. Wade versus Katie, which is described as “a uniquely personal dark comedy”.

Commenting that she does not “regret” an abortion she had earlier this year in America, Boyle told the Irish Independent  “[Some people] are like ‘Oh, you’re doing a comedy show about this’. And it’s like, yeah, it is my trauma. So I can f**king joke about it if I want to. The whole point of the comedy show is that… I don’t regret it, thank God it was an option”.

In her comedy show, Boyle recounts her experience of having an abortion in America after the US Supreme Court struck down the Roe v Wade decision in 2022, the ruling that had previously legalised abortion across the United States since 1973.

The overturning of Roe v Wade did not introduce a total ban on abortion throughout the United States, instead, individual states are now able to decide their own abortion legislation.

Boyle’s show comes after the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has hosted pro-abortion comedy events in previous years. In 2024, a show called Catholic Guilt by US comedian Kelly McCaughan attempted to make light of abortion. Promotional content for the play read “Put on your waterproof panties and get ready to unpack everything from losing your virginity in the most holy way, to abortion, to a bowling experience that leads to eternal damnation”.

Another comedian, Grace Campbell, daughter of Tony Blair’s former spin doctor Alistair Campbell, created Grace Campbell Is on Heat, which was performed at the Edinburgh Fringe last year. Campbell has described the discussion of abortion in her comedy as “very conflicting”.

“And people don’t know if they’re allowed to laugh”, she added.

Campbell’s show followed an “all-singing, all-dancing comedy cabaret show”, All Aboard! At Termination Station, about the playwright Lilly Burton having multiple abortions. The show, taken to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, drew criticism for trivialising the subject.

Several other shows at the Edinburgh Fringe have also focused on abortion. One, Jane/Norma, explored the life of Norma McCorvey, known as ‘Jane Roe’, the plaintiff in America’s Roe v Wade case that led to the legalisation of abortion across all states in America. Other stand-up comedy performances took aim at pro-life views, encouraging viewers to “laugh at arbitrary religious teachings” and branding opposition to abortion as “control”.

These Edinburgh Fringe shows are clearly designed to convey the impression that abortion should be normalised and an appropriate topic for jokes. However, the latest abortion statistics show what can only be described as a national tragedy, with 29.69% of all conceptions in England and Wales ending in abortion in 2022, up from 26.54% a year earlier – and a large increase since 2012, when 20.84% of conceptions ended in abortion, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics.

The tide is turning! A poll released by The Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) on July 24 contains some very positive data for pro-lifers. 

The mainstream coverage of the latest post-Roe poll predictably focuses on the fact that a majority of Americans support legal abortion in some or all circumstances. But the new poll also indicates that the percentage of people who believe abortion should be illegal in “most circumstances” or “all circumstances” increased by seven percentage points. 

As pro-life statistician Dr. Michael New points out: “This is the highest level of pro-life sentiment since the Dobbs leak in May 2022. Other survey questions also indicate increasing public opposition to abortion.” 

New noted that there are other indications of the solidity of American pro-life sentiment in the new data set as well.

“The survey asked respondents about whether ‘your state should allow someone to obtain a legal abortion’ in each of four different circumstances,” New wrote in National Review Online.  

“For each circumstance, support for legal abortion fell during the past year,” New continued.

“Notably, the percentage of people who supported legal abortion if the woman ‘does not want to be pregnant for any reason’ fell by five percentage points. Considering the media’s consistently negative coverage of pro-life laws, this gain in pro-life sentiment is welcome news.” 

A “miracle” baby girl born at just 22 weeks gestation has been discharged from hospital after spending over five months in neonatal intensive care.

Baby Grecia was born on 30 January at UMC Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas at only 22 weeks gestation and was the “most premature baby to graduate from the hospital’s NICU”. She weighed just over one pound at birth and faced serious developmental issues. 

Baby Grecia was immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where she would be cared for for the next 166 days. With the support of her doctors, nurses and her family, she was finally able to graduate from NICU and go home to her family on 15 July, weighing a healthy 9 pounds and 10 ounces. She was called a miracle by UMC’s neonatologists as she’s now able to breathe and eat on her own and has been discharged with no serious developmental issues.

Dr Francis Banfro, Medical Director of the NICU at UMC, expressed his satisfaction with Grecia’s development, “She feeds like a champ!”. 

“We are excited to have a baby who is 22 weeks and coming out without any major neurological consequence”.

Stories like Grecia’s have become increasingly possible due to advances in neonatal care. Research indicates that a significant number of babies born at 22 or 23 weeks gestation can now survive outside the womb.

In 2019, new guidance from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine recommended that doctors in the UK offer active treatment to babies born at 22 weeks, reflecting growing medical confidence in supporting these tiny patients.

Florida has seen yet another significant drop in abortions in 2025, new data from the state Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) shows.

Florida Right to Life reported that, as of the middle of the year, the number of abortions dropped 40.4% from the same point in 2025. What’s more, the “number of non-Florida residents seeking abortions in the state of Florida fell dramatically from 2,928 to 744, marking a major decrease in out-of-state women seeking an abortion,” according to AHCA. Nearly every county in the state saw a decline.

“We in Florida are blessed to have a Republican, pro-life super majority and Ron DeSantis (pictured with his family), a solidly pro-life governor,” Florida Right to Life president Lynda Bell said. “It is obvious that elections certainly do have consequences. When you elect the right people to office, you get life-affirming results. Because of good pro-life legislation like the Heartbeat Bill, Florida is no longer an abortion destination for abortion seekers from Southern states.”

Most abortions are illegal in Florida, thanks to both a 15-week abortion ban and a heartbeat-based abortion ban enacted much earlier but not allowed to take effect until April 2024, when the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the Florida Constitution contains no “right” to abortion that would invalidate them. Until then, there was significant concern that the Sunshine State’s lack of protection for preborn babies would make it a magnet for residents of more protective states in the region who sought to dispose of their children.

The abortion lobby then attempted to invalidate those and every other state pro-life law with a ballot initiative that would add a “right” to abortion to the constitution, but it failed last November, ending a winning streak such amendments had enjoyed in the rest of the country.

Mothers who have lost their baby due to a miscarriage are calling for language to better reflect the loss of life.

Siobhan Gorman in Wales, who was bereaved at 16 weeks, said she prefers the term baby loss to miscarriage because: “I had a baby and my baby died”.

Since Baby Loss Certificates for babies who die before the 24-week abortion limit are available solely in England, the only paperwork Siobhan owns is a cremation certificate.

Siobhan reflected: “My baby had 10 tiny fingers and toes and eyes and ears and was perfectly formed but was just tiny, the size of a pear.”

She welcomed plans to expand bereavement leave to parents who lose a baby before 24 weeks, emphasising: “I wasn’t ill, my baby had died”.

Jenni Whitmore, who suffered three miscarriages, said: “When you’re told that your pregnancy can’t progress anymore, you’re not advised ‘I’m really sorry your baby’s died’, you’re just told your pregnancy is not viable, which yes in medical terms is correct but the terminology used needs to be improved”.

“We never refer to our miscarriage as a foetus, it’s always ‘our baby’, ‘my daughter’s sibling’.”

Last year, research found that mothers who have suffered a miscarriage would prefer medics to use “humanising” terminology such as “baby”.

‘Acceptability in pregnancy loss language’, by Dr Beth Malory and Dr Louise Nuttall, analysed survey responses from 391 women in the UK who lost a baby over the last three years, in order to inform the best language to use on websites and in policies.

The study found that, at 91 per cent, the “overwhelming majority of respondents considered baby the most acceptable word to use regardless of the gestation at which the loss occurred”.

Overall, the researchers found that terms which “dehumanise what is overwhelmingly considered to be a baby” were rated negatively. Dehumanising terms included “fetus”, which was classed as “unacceptable” by on average 74 per cent whose child died after 14 weeks.

What do unborn babies do in the womb? Some of things on the list are obvious, others may surprise you. Certainly the extensive list of things we know - largely thanks to ultrasound scans - gives the lie to the claim that "it's just a cluster of cells". So here's what every expectant mother needs to know:

How to love you 

Your baby knows who you are over the whole nine months. The mother of a baby is the first person with whom they have a bond, and they are connected to you. Your baby can sense the change in your mood and temperament as well.

Breathing 

Even babies inside the womb depend on oxygen to survive. This oxygen is provided through the umbilical cord. But babies do breathing exercise to help them to breathe when they are born. These workouts begin during the ninth week of the pregnancy. 

Opening and closing eyes

Your baby becomes capable of closing or opening its eye before it is born. During the 27th week of pregnancy, babies become sensitive to light signals and react to light. Scientific research has found how unborn babies turn their eyes away from the light that passes through the mother’s belly button.

Smiling 

Smiling is an essential life skill out of the womb. 4D scans have clearly shown the pictures of babies smiling inside the womb from around the 26th week of pregnancy. 

Crying

Shedding tears starts inside the womb itself. Unborn babies exhibit a quivering lower lip when crying inside the womb!

Peeing

You might be going for never-ending bathroom trips when you are pregnant, but your baby is peeing inside!! By the 12th week of pregnancy, babies start urinating inside the womb. This skill is important for it to be able to expel waste inside its body.

Testing Food

The flavours of foods that expecting mums eat are passed into the amniotic fluid around the baby. Certain flavours, like ginger, garlic, sweet, and anise can alter the flavour of amniotic fluid. It is probably nature’s way to prepare the child for different flavours it is going to encounter after being born. It has been observed that your unborn baby will show a preference for certain flavours by gulping more amniotic fluid when you consume certain foods.

Listening 

Researchers have revealed that babies start listening to outside sounds during the third trimester. They may also respond to sound with their gentle kick. They always remember the voice of the mother, despite not knowing your words. Therefore, you should talk with your child as a very powerful way of bonding with your unborn baby.

Yawning 

Inside your small womb universe, things can be pretty unexciting for your cute one. So it’s not shocking that your cute bundle of joy will yawn sometimes while being inside the womb. You might get a glimpse of your yawning baby while specialists take the ultrasound images.

Hiccuping 

Babies learn hiccuping within the first few weeks of their existence. But, these hiccups are too mild to be detected. During the last stage of pregnancy, you may be able to spot them, although many expected mothers may not perceive this at all.

Baby Gymnastics 

If you ever swam in a deep pool where you cannot feel the bottom easily is just the same situation of your baby in the womb as they keep floating around in amniotic fluid. It’s normal for the baby in the womb to move around, as they are always floating and it is the best sign to know that the baby is active and is ready to come out anytime soon, so the babies perform these little things and get restless which is the sign for you to know that it is finally time to meet your baby face to face.

73 million abortion murders every year! That's the shocking estimate of the scale of the world's baby-murder Holocaust by the World Health Organization and the Planned Parenthood affiliate Guttmacher Institute.

The WHO insists that abortion is a human right and publicly works for the easing of abortion laws. The practical effect of both of these positions is to increase the number of abortions. 

The Guttmacher Institute receives all of its funding from pro-abortion sources.  And, like the WHO, Guttmacher works to promote abortion. 

This raises the possibility that the two organisations are exaggerating the scale of the slaughter in order to "normalise" it. Both acknowledge that the true figure is effectively impossible to determine, and their estimate is in truth a stab in the dark. There again, 73 million could just as easily be an under-estimate.

Whatever the real toll of abortion, every single murdered baby is a tragedy which cries out to Heaven for mercy, justice and Divine vengeance. As the world's population rapidly ages and then collapses, those who butchered their offspring or failed to speak out against abortion are likely to find that young people who survived this global Holocaust have very little sympathy or compassion for them in their old age.

The biggest cause of unnatural death right now is still abortion, but in years to come it is all too likely to be euthanasia of the old.

The U.S. medical establishment has been exposed operating a cynical cover-up of the dangers to women’s health from abortion pills. The trick is as simple as it is shockingly dishonest: Record abortion pill injuries as the result of spontaneous miscarriages. The result? Official statistics which understate the risk of taking the baby-killing drugs by a staggering 22 times.

This wicked deception has been exposed by a study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), released on April 28, 2025. This brought to light the deeply troubling reality of the abortion pill mifepristone, revealing a hidden crisis that has been obscured for far too long. This groundbreaking research, analyzing insurance claims data from 865,727 mifepristone abortions between 2017 and 2023, exposes a rate of serious complications that is alarmingly higher than what the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has admitted.

Meanwhile, the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) revealed that studies of Medicaid claims data for almost 29,000 post-abortion ER visits found that visits after the use of abortion drugs were 79% more likely to be “miscoded as miscarriages compared with surgical abortions.” Almost 84% of such cases were wrongly recorded from 2016 to 2021.

The findings not only challenge the narrative that mifepristone is a safe and effective option but also raise profound ethical concerns about how these complications are misrepresented, disguised as miscarriages, to downplay the risks to women.

A convenient overlap in diagnostic coding—where abortion-related complications are recorded similarly to miscarriages—obscures the drug’s risks. This practice, embedded in medical coding systems like ICD/CPT used across hospitals and insurance databases, includes those managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates mifepristone, has not addressed this coding issue directly in available data. Its reliance on clinical trial data rather than real-world evidence like the EPPC’s insurance claims analysis (covering 865,727 cases from 2017–2023) shows how the agency prioritizes the interests of the abortion industry over the safety and health of women.

Other parts of the medical-industrial complex are also implicated in the deceit. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which promotes the use of mifepristone, helped draw up the clinical guidelines which have permitted the deliberately confusing coding practices.

The EPPC study reveals that 10.93 percent of women who take mifepristone, the first drug in the two-drug medication abortion process, experience severe complications within 45 days of their abortion. These complications include life-threatening conditions such as sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, and other serious adverse events.

This figure is staggering when compared to the FDA’s claim, based on clinical trials, that less than 0.5 percent of women experience such outcomes. The discrepancy - a rate 22 times higher than what the FDA reports - exposes a systemic failure to accurately represent the real-world dangers of mifepristone.

Unlike drug companies’ controlled clinical trials, which often involve carefully selected participants and close medical supervision, the EPPC’s analysis draws from a vast, real-world dataset that reflects the experiences of diverse women across the United States. By analyzing insurance claims data, the EPPC researchers were able to use a dataset 28 times larger than the self-serving clinical trials.

This makes the study’s findings far more representative of the actual risks women face when taking mifepristone, particularly in settings where oversight may be minimal, such as through telemedicine prescriptions.

Spontaneous miscarriages, and abortions induced by mifepristone, often involve similar symptoms, such as bleeding or incomplete expulsion of pregnancy tissue, but conflating them masks the specific risks associated with the abortion pill. This deliberate confusion not only misleads women about the safety of the procedure but also undermines their ability to make informed decisions about their health.

By obscuring the dangers of mifepristone, the medical establishment and abortion advocates have prioritized ideology over women’s health. This deception is doubly tragic. Not only does mifepristone end the lives of countless unborn children, but it also places women at significant risk, and denies them the right to know the real dangers.

Women are told that medication abortion is a simple, safe process, yet the data reveals a far more dangerous reality. The emotional and physical consequences of these complications include sepsis that can lead to organ failure, hemorrhaging that requires transfusions, and infections that threaten fertility.

These revelations have, however, produced grounds for hope that the situation will improve. Speaking during a Senate hearing on 14 May, 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he has directed FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to conduct a “complete review” of mifepristone’s safety, citing the EPPC study’s alarming findings.

Kennedy described the data as “alarming” and stated that, at the very least, the FDA should update the drug’s label to reflect the higher complication rate. This call for a review is a significant step toward acknowledging the risks that have been downplayed for years. Kennedy’s willingness to challenge the FDA’s narrative, despite his historically pro-abortion stance, suggests a commitment to prioritizing women’s health over political pressures.

Morality and demographic reality actually demand at least a massive curtailing of America’s abortion holocaust. But such major changes often come about in small incremental steps. The EPPC’s study highlighting the real dangers of the abortion pill is one such piece of progress. It’s the ideal subject for a short letter to your local paper; can you spare a few minutes to advance the pro-life cause?
