On 31 July 2025, the Dominican Republic’s Chamber of Deputies overwhelmingly approved a new Penal Code, followed by Senate endorsement and President Luis Abinader’s signature on 3 August. The law, set to take effect in August 2026, modernises criminal justice by introducing penalties for femicide, cybercrime, and economic violence. However, it upholds the nation’s total ban on abortion, reaffirmed by Article 37 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to life from conception to natural death. Despite strong international lobbying for liberalisation, Dominican lawmakers defended the measure as aligned with the country’s cultural values, Catholic heritage, and constitutional principles. The new code replaces the 1884 version, while the 1954 Concordat with the Holy See remains in force, underscoring the Dominican Republic’s longstanding religious and legal commitment to protecting life.
Canada: Report point to 15,343 euthanasia deaths in 2023. 241 for dementia. No such thing as “limited euthanasia” or “a little euthanasia only in severe causes”.

Study: 84% of ‘Aid Access’ abortion pills go to states with pro-life laws: The European abortion network Aid Access is sending tens of thousands of illegal pills into states with pro-life laws, enabled by Democrat states’ ‘shield laws.’
(LifeSiteNews) — For decades, the Dominican Republic, where abortion has been banned since 1884, has been under tremendous pressure from international abortion networks and the feminist movement to decriminalize abortion and allow it under some circumstance. But despite these well-funded groups and their well-organized campaigns, which had the support of the country’s major media, the people of this Caribbean country, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, have always said no. On July 31, 2025, speaking through their elected representatives in the Congress of the Dominican Republic, they did so again. In their latest legislative attack on life, the abortion movement tried to use the passage of the DR’s new Penal Code – known in Spanish as But when the amendment was introduced in Chamber of Deputies (equivalent to U.S. House of Representatives), it was overwhelmingly defeated on a vote of 159 to 4. The Chamber of Deputies, after a final 14-hour session on July 30, 2025, went …
(LifeSiteNews) — India’s Fourth National March for Life was held in Bangalore on August 9, drawing thousands of participants from across the country. Archbishop Francis Kalist, episcopal advisor to CHARIS India and the CBCI-appointed in-charge for the pro-life movement in India, delivered a powerful catechesis to bishops, priests, religious and laity. Archbishop Kalist highlighted the staggeringly high rate of abortion in India. Referring to a Lancet study that recorded 15.6 million abortions in India in the year 2015 alone, he lamented the “tragedy of abortion” that results in a baby being killed every two seconds in India. In these last ten years, the abortion law has been expanded to permit killing up to 24 weeks for any reason, while courts have increasingly authorized late-term abortions. Quoting Pope Leo XIV, he encouraged priests and laity to become “fishers of families” and reveal the truth about abortion, contraception and gender ideology instead of observing silence because …

The English police are investigating Isabel Vaughan-Spruce for a third time and have asked prosecutors whether there is enough evidence to charge her, reports the Telegraph (9 August). Ms Vaughan-Spruce has already received a payout and an apology from the police after being arrested twice for silently praying (in November 2022 and March 2023). In October 2024, a new law came into effect making it an offence to do anything within a 'buffer zone' that intentionally influences a mother's decision to abort an unborn baby. Ms Vaughan-Spruce has continued to pray silently outside the abortion clinic every week, insisting that her actions do not breach the new law. Earlier this year, she lodged a formal complaint stating that she was still subjected to regular harassment by police officers. However, she later received a letter from the Department for Professional Standards stating that they could not deal with the complaint as she was the subject of an ongoing investigation. Ms Vaughan-Spruce …More
Marxism started the women's lib movement, and this has tried to destroy western civilization. Look at the commercials on TV which portray men as morons, and women as leaders. This is not from God, but from hell.
The president of the German Bishops, Monsignor Georg Bätzing of Limburg, has DEFENDED the radical lawyer Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, who was nominated by the Socialists as a constitutional judge: “This woman does not deserve to be damaged like this,” Bishop Bätzing told Augsburger-Allgemeine.de (July 16). Brosius-Gersdorf was to be elected on July 11 as a constitutional judge (12-year term). However, the parliamentary vote was postponed after it became clear that Brosius-Gersdorf would struggle to gain the two-thirds majority necessary for confirmation. The days before, there was a big outcry over her extremist views. In her opinion, the crime of abortion should not be considered a crime anymore and be paid for by health insurance companies. She even stated that there were “good reasons why the guarantee of human dignity should only apply from birth.” Brosius-Gersdor is a representative of extremist-left positions. In 2021, she argued that a duty to “vaccinate” against coronavirus could …More
