Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Pro-Life Bill Banning Mail-Order Abortion Pills
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed yet another pro-life bill into law to help save babies from abortion. He has signed SB4 into law, which would ban mail-order abortion drugs and would place limits on in-person sales of the abortion pill before 7 weeks to protect women’s health.

Under SB 4, the charges for “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly,” violating the provisions of the bill would be a state jail felony, which carries fines of up to…
Benedict XVI: Legalization of same-sex marriage is ‘a distortion of conscience’
VATICAN— Pope emeritus Benedict XVI has said that the legalization of same-sex marriage in many countries is “a distortion of conscience” which has also entered some Catholic circles.

Fascinating Discovery Shows Unborn Baby’s Cells Go to Mom’s Brain and Body
The relationship in pregnancy between a mother and her unborn child is a unique connection, unlike anything else. New scientific research continues to reveal how this special bond has lasting physical effects long after birth. In the 19th century, scientists first discovered that an unborn baby’s cells stay in the mother’s body after birth; but new research is providing an even deeper understanding of this unique connection. World Magazine reports that scientists are examining how the baby’s cells can travel through the placenta, into the mother’s bloodstream and then to her brain, liver and other organs.

At a recent event in Tennessee, Tim Tebow said that Christians need to stand up for Judeo-Christian values in America.

VATICAN— Pope Francis on Wednesday urged priests, bishops, and married couples to work in cooperation to strengthen the life of the Church through the goods of marriage and family. In a video message to an online forum taking place this week, the pope said that “the family is ‘a domestic Church,’ the place in which the sacramental presence of Christ acts between spouses and between parents and children.” “In this sense,” he continued, “‘the experience of love in families is a perennial source of strength for the life of the Church,’ constantly enriched by the life of all the domestic…
