The New York Times Is Unfit to Be ‘The Newspaper of Record’

Wesley J. Smith
February 7, 2022
COVID-19
Its biases are too pronounced and its agendas too partisan. Perhaps the time has come for the paper to change its masthead motto to reflect its true approach to journalism: “All the news that we see fit to print.” Read More ›

Ideological Scientists Created the Science Credibility Gap

Wesley J. Smith
February 1, 2022
COVID-19
We need a scientific community that bridges political divides. But rebuilding that trust infrastructure will require the scientific community to eschew ideology and pursue truth objectively, without regard to favored cultural priorities or desired partisan outcomes. Read More ›

Defending Catholic Healthcare

Wesley J. Smith
February 1, 2022
Health Care
The threats against religious freedom in the United States have become so acute that five major Catholic organizations have formed the Catholic Health Care Leadership Alliance (CHCLA), a nonprofit coalition dedicated to defending the right of Catholic hospitals, nursing homes, and other institutions—as well as Catholic doctors, nurses, and pharmacists—to provide care and treatment in accordance with the moral precepts of the Catholic Church.

Spain Joins the Euthanize-and-Organ-Harvest Club

Wesley J. Smith
January 30, 2022
Euthanasia
In my first anti-euthanasia column, written for Newsweek in 1993, I warned that if assisted suicide/euthanasia became legal and normalized, it would lead to “organ harvesting thrown in as a plum to society.” Needless to say, I was called a fear monger, alarmist, and hysteric — and those were the polite hate mailers.

George Will Pushes the Hemlock

Wesley J. Smith
January 26, 2022
Euthanasia
In recent years, George Will has been writing columns on contentious cultural issues that have, to put it mildly, unpleasantly surprised many of his social-conservative admirers. Perhaps first and foremost among these was his coming out in 2015 as a believer in assisted suicide. Read More ›

Texas Heartbeat Law Beats Strongly, Inspires Other States to Follow Suit

Arina O. Grossu
January 26, 2022
Abortion
The Texas heartbeat law has given tens of thousands of Texas babies a second chance at life. The pro-life movement embraces women in unplanned pregnancies and stands ready to help them. The current situation in Texas gives us a peek into a post-Roe world. Yes, we can love them both and save them both, and we must. Simply put, the (heart)beat goes on. Read More ›

Robert P. George on teaching and free thought, defending Peter Singer, and natural law

Robert P. George
January 24, 2022

People of true principle are rare commodities in this age of bitter political divisions and cultural discord. What matters exclusively for too many, is winning. Indeed, we live in such strident times that some find it difficult to be friends with people with whom they disagree.

Hospital Loses ‘Futile Care’ Attempt to Force Covid Patient Off Life Support

Wesley J. Smith
January 22, 2022
COVID-19
“Futile care” is a pronounced threat to patient autonomy and the equality of all human life. This is the idea. When doctors think that the quality of a patient’s life is not worth living — but the patient, family, or surrogate want care to continue — doctors can overrule patients and terminate wanted life-sustaining treatment.

NBC Will Not Send Announcers to Beijing — for the Wrong Reason

Human Rights
NBC shouldn’t cover the Games at all for reasons far beyond Covid-testing and isolation policies. Indeed, the world should shun the Olympics altogether. Read More ›
