    The Pulse Catholic Medicine ^ | October 14, 2025 | Yuriko Ryan, DBe, MA, HEC-C
    One summer morning my husband and I stepped into a Catholic hospital through a main entrance we both knew well. It was where he was born, where he practiced almost daily as a family physician for 35 years, where we returned to countless specialist visits, outpatient appointments, palliative care meetings with dear friends, and the joy of welcoming babies in the maternity ward. For us, the hospital was a constant holy presence, an unwavering witness to the dignity of life. But this visit brought something unexpected into view. On the left wall, a new mural of muted mountains and shoreline...

    The New York Post published an editorial urging New York's Governor Kathy Hochul to veto the assisted suicide bill. In June, 2025 the New York State Senate approved assisted suicide Bill A136/S138 that was also approved by the Assembly in April. The assisted suicide bill has not yet reached Governor Hochul desk, but, when it does she must veto the assisted suicide bill or it will become law. Contact New York Governor Kathy Hochul (Contact Link) or call her at: 518-474-8390 and urge her to protect people when they are vulnerable by vetoing the assisted suicide bill. The New York...

    The Trump administration is looking to slash an office at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) whose critics say has been a major driver of gender ideology and abortion policies in the federal government. The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) saw roughly 30 employees issued reduction-in-force (RIF) notices Oct. 10, effectively sidelining most of the agency’s staff, individuals familiar with the matter told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The cuts come as White House officials repeatedly warned that staffing reductions could occur if Democrats continue to refuse to reopen the government. OPA’s stated mission is to advance “reproductive...

    PIEDMONT, S.C. — South Carolina's SB 323 could change abortion access, the definition of contraceptives, and criminal charges, among other things. Our crews have been reporting on the bill and its potential impacts. This week, our reporter sat down with Sen. Richard Cash, who wrote the bill. Reporter Peyton Furtado: "So you've made these changes to a law, and it's already in place. You've had some amendments here. Can you tell me a little bit about some of the changes you've made and why you made these changes? Sen. Richard Cash: "Well, the goal is to save more babies early...

    FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (7News) — Over the summer, many in Fairfax County’s Centreville High School community saw social media reports of a teacher’s claims that school staff arranged and bankrolled an abortion for a minor student and pressured another to get an abortion with the parents’ knowledge and consent. When 7News saw the viral claims on social media in August, 7News Reporter Nick Minock reached out to Fairfax County Public Schools. The school system spokesperson replied and told Minock at the time, ”We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021. We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as...

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A downtown Louisville development committee approved a permit application to demolish the former EMW Women's Surgical Center as a 27-story hotel project begins to take shape. The Downtown Development Review Overlay Committee signed off on the demolition at 136, 138 and 140 West Market Street. EMW closed in 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The $175 million project planned for 2nd and Market streets in downtown Louisville is set to come complete with a grand ballroom, rooftop pool and street-level restaurant. NuLu-based Zyyo confirmed in July its plans to build...

    There’s no doubt we have a fertility crisis. Currently, about 16% of married women in the U.S. struggle to get pregnant or avoid miscarriages, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Worldwide, about one in six people face infertility, according to the World Health Organization. “In the Trump administration, we want to make it easier for all couples to have babies, raise children, and start the families they’ve always dreamed about,” President Donald Trump announced Thursday. That’s wonderful. The plummeting U.S. birth rate has concerning implications for our future economy and culture—and of course, it’s heartbreaking for couples...

    Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is defending his pro-life beliefs this week after he denied clemency to a convicted murderer and is facing criticism from activists who oppose the death penalty. Kehoe, a Republican, rejected last-minute appeals to halt the execution of Lance Shockley, who was convicted of killing Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Carl Dewayne Graham Jr. in 2005. Shockley was executed by lethal injection Oct. 14 in Bonne Terre, Missouri, marking the first execution since Kehoe took office as governor, Missouri news station First Alert 4 reported. “The murder of Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Carl DeWayne Graham, Jr.,...

    During a Canadian parliament Finance Committee hearing Krista Carr, the CEO of Inclusion Canada, which is a national federation of people with disabilities, stated that: People with disabilities are now very much afraid in many circumstances to show up in the healthcare system with regular concerns because often MAiD is suggested as the solution to what is considered to be intolerable suffering that happens to be caused by some of the things that this committee addresses like poverty and the situations that people with disabilities disproportionately find themselves in compared to other Canadians. This is explosive testimony from Krista Carr...

    Affordable primary care clinics run by Planned Parenthood will close their locations in Orange and San Bernardino counties as the Trump Administration blocks federal funding for the nonprofit, the organization announced Monday. Melody Health is a branch of Planned Parenthood, and the impacted locations include Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Westminster, San Bernardino and Upland. As the Trump administration is preventing abortion service providers, such as Planned Parenthood, from receiving federal grants, the nonprofit said it cannot afford to keep the door open at Melody Health clinics. The last day of operations for the clinics will be Dec....

    A lady who wrote to a financial advice column detailing her financial struggles in accessing healthcare has been told about how easy it is to access assisted suicide, which would mean she “wouldn’t need to worry”. Writing to MarketWatch’s financial advice column, a woman in her sixties detailed how she was concerned about being unable to access Medicaid, a government health insurance programme in the United States, unless she sells off her assets. “It also goes against my principles to dispose of my assets just so the government will support me”, she said. As age and life experiences have left...

    President Donald Trump unveiled a plan yesterday to slash the costs of IVF and fertility treatments, fulfilling a campaign pledge to make it more accessible to American families eager to welcome new children into the world. While more babies would normally sound like a good thing to pro-life Americans, two top pro-life advocates say it’s not good news because the IVF process includes killing babies at their earliest stages of life. As LifeNews reported, the White House initiative, building on a February executive order directing federal agencies to recommend ways to protect IVF access and cut out-of-pocket expenses, aims to...

    ashington state's attempt to become an abortion pill vendor has allegedly failed after it spent millions to stockpile the drugs, which are soon set to expire. Key Takeaways: * A recent op-ed from an abortion provider laments the fact that Washington state stockpiled a large number of abortion pills that are set to expire soon. * The state reportedly paid a higher rate for the drugs than abortion providers, and a statute requires the state to sell the drugs at the state's cost plus a handling fee; this has made it difficult for the state to offload the drugs to...

    A campaign to encourage people to order abortion pills by mail even before they are pregnant is about to hit Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, putting more women and unborn children at risk of serious harm and even death. Shout Your Abortion, Hydra Mutual Aid Fund, and Plan C are launching the public service announcement (PSA) campaign aiming to raise awareness of the abortion drugs, according to an emailed Oct. 21 press release from Shout Your Abortion. The initiative is set to release two “cinematic PSAs” about a single mother and a teenager facing unexpected pregnancies. The videos will direct viewers to...

    Michigan Rep. John James is the best-positioned Republican candidate to flip Michigan’s governorship red in the 2026 contest, according to new polling. The Plymouth Union Public (PUP) Research survey, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, found James leading a general election field and trouncing a crowded slate of candidates in the primary contest. In a hypothetical three-way general election contest, James received 35% support from likely general election voters, followed by a generic Democratic candidate who drew 31% of the vote and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, a lifelong Democrat running as an independent, who garnered 12% support. Former Republican...

    Virginia’s attorney general race has suddenly swung toward the Republicans following an explosive scandal involving Democrat nominee Jay Jones. Polling released on Saturday shows likely voters are no longer standing with Jones following the release of his violent text messages regarding a Republican politician. In the Trafalgar Group poll, incumbent GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares now stands nearly six points ahead, reversing a six-point lead Jones held in a September poll. Miyares has support from close to 49% of likely Virginia voters compared to Jones’ 43%. On Oct. 3, National Review published leaked text messages in which Jones fantasized to...

    On the heels of last week’s letter from 51 U.S. senators to the Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Human Services, HELP Committee Chairman Bill Cassidy sent an oversight letter today demanding answers from Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and Commissioner Marty Makary. Lawmakers are turning up the pressure after the FDA approved a new generic abortion drug in the wake of the Biden administration’s rollback of commonsense safeguards that required in-person doctor visits. The Biden FDA’s mail-order abortion policy, which is inexplicably still in effect, recklessly endangers women and unborn children while undermining state pro-life laws. All...

    When things are not going their way, the Abortion Establishment and its legion of media enablers insist they are “winning the culture war,” by which they mean the public is more accepting of abortion. If ever there was an example of “The wish is father to the thought”—aka, they want to believe it because they wish it to be true—this is it. But just to be on the safe side, they continue to try (so to speak) to rehabilitate abortion. How? By reframing the deaths of unborn children as either a positive good or something beyond evaluation (for a host...

    A top Catholic bishop decried the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone as a “shocking inconsistency” that endangers women and facilitates the “killing of more children,” urging a swift reversal amid a pending federal safety review. The FDA’s Octover 1 approval of the generic from Evita Solutions LLC — a company whose mission is to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all” — comes as chemical abortions now account for 63% of all abortions in the United States, according to recent data, killing millions of babies Pro-life advocates warn...
