Cornell University scientists have taken a major step toward developing a safe, reversible, long-acting and 100% effective nonhormonal male contraceptive, considered the holy grail of male contraception.
In a proof-of-principle study conducted in mice over six years, the team showed that interrupting a key step in meiosis, the process that produces sex cells, can temporarily halt sperm production without causing lasting harm.
The findings were published today (April 7) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This week, Planned Parenthood released its 2025 annual report. In recent years, these reports have taken on additional significance. That is because congressional Republicans have demonstrated their willingness to stop federal taxpayer dollars from going to Planned Parenthood. Indeed, this year’s report should bolster pro-life efforts to defund Planned Parenthood for the upcoming fiscal year. That is because, once again, this report provides very solid evidence that Planned Parenthood continues to prioritize abortion at the expense of real health-care services.

Explaining the decline
Far-left activists shouted through bullhorns on Easter Sunday as part of their ongoing harassment campaign against a St. Paul, Minnesota, church that allegedly employs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official as a minister. The Easter Sunday campaign concluded in one arrest, although a judge already threw out the charges.
Anti-ICE protesters have targeted Cities Church in the Twin Cities since January, when a mob, joined by former CNN personality Don Lemon, disrupted the church worship service at the Baptist church. The activists disrupted the service because they alleged an assistant pastor is also a local ICE official who is overseeing efforts to remove violent illegal immigrants from the area.
The left won’t hesitate to bend over backwards for a man who was killed after he resisted arrest and took enough fentanyl to kill a horse. You would expect, at the very least, that they would honor an innocent woman killed after obtaining refuge in this country as a result of the war in Ukraine. The problem with doing that, though, is that they would have to admit leftist “restorative justice” policies allowed a psycho with a painfully long rap sheet to enter back into society, where he then, subsequently, killed an innocent woman riding on the bus. So, rather than do the morally superior thing, the mayor of Providence has called to take down the mural honoring this victim, because he claims it is divisive.
The Israeli government instituted a policy prohibiting Christian Palestinian teachers who live in the West Bank from working in any of the 15 Christian schools in Jerusalem in a move that threatens to weaken the two-millennia presence of Christians in the Holy City.
School principals in Jerusalem recently received letters from the Israeli Ministry of Education stipulating that beginning in September they are required to only hire teachers who reside in the city and hold Israeli-issued qualifications.
The March 10 directive comes in the wake of a bill approved last July by the Education Committee of the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) aimed at prohibiting Palestinian teachers who earned their degrees at institutions in the West Bank from teaching in Israel or the occupied East Jerusalem.
To make America great again, this country must stop all gender transitions for children. Not only is this morally reprehensible, but it is the antithesis of media care. Despite this being common sense, sense is not so common among the left. This is why the federal government did what needed to be done. Many hospitals acquiesced not because it was the right thing to do, but because they feared losing federal funding. One Minnesota hospital, however, was not phased by this pressure and has decided to resume these Frankenstein procedures, despite the government mandates.
In a decision released this morning, Finland’s supreme court voted 3-2 to convict a bishop and a member of parliament for publishing a pamphlet explaining Christian theology about sexual differences. The decision could tacitly ban orthodox Christianity in Finland by banning Christians from speaking about what the Bible clearly says.
Bishop Juhana Pohjola and Member of Parliament Paivi Rasanen face thousands of euros in fines and their challenged Christian speech “removed from public access and destroyed,” the court ordered, unless they successfully appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. If they appeal, the case could affect speech and conscience rights worldwide.
Some of the legal experts who have battled the abortion ideology and its related industry across the United States for years are warning that in the wake of Dobbs, which returned regulation of the industry to individual states, some of those are now moving into territory that is causing alarms.
That would be the move toward infanticide.
Officials at the American Center for Law and Justice have posted a warning about the “troubling trend.”
“In the wake of Dobbs and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the abortion debate obviously didn’t end – it intensified and shifted to the state level. Now, radical-Left state legislatures are emboldened, believing they have a license to advance bills that, under the guise of ‘reproductive freedom,’ are quietly dismantling protections for babies – even after birth.”
Kansas lawmakers overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of the CARE Act, protecting pregnancy resource centers from abortion mandates and preserving their freedom to offer life-affirming care to women and families.
The Kansas Legislature last week overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of House Bill 2635, which expands protections for pregnancy resource centers and limits certain forms of state regulation over their services.
As the global press grappled with a string of gut-wrenching, dystopian euthanasia stories – the latest of which is the killing of a young Spanish gang rape victim – the Canadian press is still publishing overtly eugenicist propaganda.
On March 25, CTV published a story on the impending death – now carried out – of John Maloney, who was suffering from partial blindness. The headline: “3 days before his medically assisted death, this Alberta man is reflecting on ‘his right to die.’”
The CTV suicide puff piece detailed John Maloney’s choice of music to serve as the soundtrack to his lethal injection; noted approvingly that Maloney, “[a]s a Christian,” was “preparing for his final moments” as “a practice in bodily autonomy,” and quotes Maloney as saying that although God forbids suicide, he thinks that God “gets it.” It is enough to make one shudder. (The press only quotes religiosity approvingly when it can be done in service of an anti-Christian agenda.)
The 2025 Oregon assisted suicide report stated that 637 lethal poison prescriptions were written under the Oregon assisted suicide law which was up from 609 in 2024 and 566 in 2023.
Tom Jeanne, M.D., MPH, the deputy state health officer and epidemiologist at OHA’s Public Health Division stated that:
“What we’ve been seeing over the last several years is a steady overall increase in prescriptions and deaths among Death with Dignity Act participants,”
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced that U.S. troops will no longer attend graduate-level programs at numerous Ivy League and top-tier universities beginning in the 2026–27 academic year.
Fox News reports that a February memorandum reveals that the War Department canceled 93 fellowship positions across 22 elite institutions, including Harvard, MIT, Georgetown, Columbia and Princeton, arguing that “woke” ideology was weakening military education.
Citing the need for a “sacred trust between America’s institutions and our warriors,” Hegseth reiterated the requirement that our senior war fighters be trained as strategic thinkers and decried the fact that trust has been broken by a class of elite universities which have “utterly betrayed their purpose.”
For too long, the Ivy League and similar institutions have been subjecting our warriors to woke indoctrination—those days are over. pic.twitter.com/0xMC6BArDd

I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting on how good my life is right now. It’s been spring in Central Texas since February, and the program I teach at has had classes outside, like next to a turtle pond and a running creek.
I‘ve found myself thinking of how wonderful it is to see the fish swimming in the stream, to see the turtles sunning themselves on the rocks, to feel the sun and the breeze on my face, to smell the Texas Mountain Laurel bushes with flowers that smell like grape candy, to have a job where I help others, to have long-desired writing and speaking opportunities, to work in an intellectually stimulating environment, to live in a lovely apartment with my sweet, cuddly cat, to have close friends and kind coworkers and to be able to share that happiness with my family.
Former Fox News host and populist podcaster Tucker Carlson criticized President Donald Trump for mocking Islam in an Easter Sunday post in which he threatened Iran’s infrastructure if there was no substantive move toward negotiations from Tehran.
Carlson said that the message was only acceptable “if you seek a religious war,” but that otherwise, “no decent person mocks other people’s religions” and the move would escalate tensions as opposed to defusing them.
Carlson’s Monday remarks came as Trump was continuing to get blowback for his Truth Social post.
After Jaden Ivey expressed opposition to the NBA’s promotion of “Pride Month” on the basis of his Christian faith, the Chicago Bulls immediately waived him. This means that after a 48-hour period, he will become a free agent who can try out for other teams. Lest anyone misattribute this cut to Ivey’s inability to play due to injuries, the Bulls made it abundantly clear they waived Ivey due to purported “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Nevertheless, the word “conduct” is misleading here because it implies some sort of egregious activity, like committing a felony or assaulting someone. But, as we all know, the NBA is perfectly fine with giving a pass to violent felons.
This evening Governor Laura Kelly vetoed H.B. 2727 and H.B. 2729, two measures designed to strengthen women’s ability to enforce their statutory rights and ensure they receive clear, accurate information before an abortion.
H.B. 2727 created a streamlined path for a woman to bring a claim when her informed‑consent rights under Kansas law have been violated. The bill allowed her to bypass the medical malpractice screening panel—an expensive and time‑consuming process intended for complex medical disputes—and instead pursue a straightforward statutory claim. The bill also placed a cap on recovery.
NBA guard Jaden Ivey was cut from the Chicago Bulls on Monday after he expressed the basic Christian belief that sexual immorality and pride are “unrighteousness.” In response, multiple professional athletes have come to Ivey’s defense by similarly standing firm on God’s word.
“They proclaim Pride Month. And the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness,” Ivey said. According to The Athletic, the comments were a part of a series of livestreams Ivey hosted on his Instagram over the last week after he was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to knee pain. In these streams, he “spoke extensively on his religious beliefs.”
The U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) Civil Rights Division announced Monday that it is filing a Title IX sex-discrimination complaint against the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) for letting biological males into female school lockers and athletic competitions.
“These unfair, intentionally discriminatory practices violate the very core of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding,” said DOJ’s press release, which noted that Minnesota receives more than $3 billion in federal health and education assistance annually.

Belgium had a record 4,486 assisted deaths in 2025, an increase of 12.4% on the previous year, accounting for 4% of all deaths in the country, with almost a quarter of all deaths not expected in the short-term.
According to the annual review released by Belgium’s ‘Federal Commission for the Control and Evaluation of Euthanasia’:
There is no requirement that someone seeking an assisted death in Belgium be near the end of their lives. The law allows adults and emancipated minors experiencing “constant, unbearable physical or psychological suffering due to a serious and incurable condition” to end their lives by euthanasia or assisted suicide.
A major amendment to the law in 2014 removed the age restriction for assisted suicide and euthanasia in Belgium, making Belgium the first country to legalise euthanasia for minors “with capacity of discernment”.
One minor ended their life by assisted suicide or euthanasia in Belgium in 2025.
Noelia Castillo Ramos dies by euthanasia after legal fight
Spain is grappling with the death of a 25-year-old woman from Barcelona who was euthanized following a series of tragic events despite multiple legal challenges from her father.
Noelia Castillo Ramos’ case galvanized international attention after her father, Gerónimo Castillo, mounted a legal battle against the authorization of various Spanish courts for his daughter to receive euthanasia in 2023. Aided by Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), a conservative Catholic organization, Mr. Castillo exhausted all appeals to the Spanish courts.
The father argued that his daughter wasn’t fully psychologically able to make a decision regarding euthanasia and that she needed better medical and psychiatric care. His legal battle was ultimately shut down by the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, on March 10.

You don’t need to be a biologist to understand there is a physical difference between males and females. This is such a well-known fact that even cavemen understand this concept. The left, however, woke up one day and decided that there is no difference, despite reality proving otherwise. This is why the Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, as they have allowed boys to invade the female division of sports for far too long.
According to the New York Post:
The Department of Justice sued Minnesota on Monday for discriminating against female athletes by letting biological males compete against them and enter their bathrooms and locker rooms.
These asinine policies don’t just destroy the integrity of the game: They actively jeopardize women’s safety.
The suit, filed in Minnesota federal court, alleges that the state’s Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League have been implementing policies and practices that ignored “undeniable physiological differences between male and female athletes” in violation of Title IX.
To claim the state ignored “undeniable physiological differences” would be an understatement at this point.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon noted in the 45-page civil filing that the state also committed the violations while taking more than $3 billion in federal funding per year and agreeing to uphold nondiscriminatory policies.
Simply put, some things should transcend politics. But in a country where Democrats have a seriously bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, mountains must be made out of molehills, right is wrong and wrong is right, and victims of violent crimes can only be honored if their crime fits leftist narratives.
That’s where we are with Rhode Island, which has been a hotbed of anti-Trump activity since he took office for his second term, especially on the issue of illegal immigration, which has seen some woke state lawmakers openly threaten immigration enforcement officers.
ICE’s presence in cities like Providence and the removal flights that have taken off from Portsmouth have led to outrage among Democrat officials and far-left woketivists, the latter of whom have staged street protests, set up tip lines, and stakeouts where they try to locate ICE vehicles and allegedly give them no choice but to leave.
The creator of children’s YouTube content has a new cause: shutting down an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that houses families while the parents undergo proceedings.
“I am political,” Rachel Accurso, also known as “Ms. Rachel,” told NBC News. She is on a mission to close the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, which provides food and shelter for the children of illegal immigrant parents during their judicial proceedings.
“It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at wh
One of the most preposterous claims from liberals is that somehow, conservatives uniquely try to win elections by using “fear,” “hate,” and “division,” especially on race and religion. Democrats never use any divisive, negative tactics when trying to motivate voters. It’s like they’ve never heard Chuck Schumer saying a Republican voter-ID bill is “Jim Crow 2.0.”
On March 24, PBS stations debuted a long negative campaign commercial disguised as a documentary titled White With Fear, on how “America’s conservative political machine uses racial fault lines to gain power.” The 85-minute film starts with Nixon’s campaigns, then goes on a tear against Fox News, Islamophobia after 9/11, birtherism against Obama, the Tea Party, and then into the Trump era.
The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.
