Babies are dying because of a chronic lack of access to 20-week ultrasound scans, an Irish obstetrics expert has warned.
Louise Kenny, professor at University College Cork, said that doctors felt “haunted” because they were forced to choose which women would have access to the scans. The procedure identifies major and in some cases life-threatening problems with organ development.
Gender ideology seemed a ridiculous and improbable threat when I first considered its claims of male brains trapped in female bodies, but its rapid ascendancy in law and public opinion has made the term "transgender" a household word. While some were scoffing at Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair, I was engaged in a battle over the meaning of sex and gender at my children's school. Katherine Kersten's December contribution to First Things, "Transgender Conformity," was, in part, my own story: I was a parent at Nova Classical Academy.
A report by the Church of England says there needs to be a major "cultural shift" in order to mobilise members to spread the gospel.
The report was included among the General Synod papers published ahead of February's meeting of Church leaders in London.
The papers say that the Church of England needs to undergo a major "cultural shift" in order to mobilise members to spread the gospel.
The Church of England is considering a military covenant-style pledge to care for its clergy amid mounting concerns about patchy and inadequate support on offer.
Church leaders will be asked to commit to a set of "minimum standards" over clergy wellbeing as a report found priests are offered less support and care than other professions such as the army.
We live in the age of apology. This is not a reference to the quintessentially British habit of apologising to the person who bumps into you but to the politically motivated non-apology—the ridiculous virtue-signalling, leftist habit of apologising for the past and the sins of one’s ancestors.
It has even bred an academic discipline—scholars of the public apology whose conclusion surprise, surprise, is that it has made the apology meaningless.

A British Christian pro-life advocate, who attempted to bring ‘gender-abortion’ doctors to justice and was subsequently derailed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), has appeared in court on Tuesday to challenge the enormous legal costs awarded against her.
Aisling Hubert, 23, has been ordered to pay £36,000 (AUD $59,000) in costs to two doctors who were filmed by a national newspaper offering gender selective abortion.
She was also told to pay a further £11,000 (AUD $18,000) following her attempt to challenge the legal costs awarded against her after CPS’ intervention.
The case, which is supported by the Christian advocacy organisation Christian Concern, has attracted widespread support in her favour.
Dare to debate this damaging idea that gender is a social construct.
There is a fear that dare not speak its name, a question that dare not be asked. An ideology is being foisted on Scotland’s children which, though well-meaning, is ultimately harmful.
Professionals have told me that they are scared to speak out or to even ask questions. Journalists are concerned their articles won’t be published, doctors that they will lose their jobs and teachers that they will be sidelined. Politicians fear the Twitter mobs and hate speech that inevitably follows if they dare to question or challenge.
On 18 January 2017, the first hearings in the case of Dr. Katarzyna Jachimowicz against the Norwegian Health Board concluded. In 2015, Dr. Jachimowicz lost her employment with a Family Clinic in the municipality of Sauherad. She had refused to insert intrauterine devices (IUDs), which can act as abortifacients. Administering a procedure that could result in abortion contradicted her Christian faith. International law grants medical staff the right to conscientious objection. Still, her superiors fired Dr. Jachimowicz because she failed to comply with an instruction that she considered to be morally wrong.
Convicts who claim to have become Christians should have their religious faith monitored on release to ensure they have not played the system, David Nuttall has suggested.
Mr Nuttall (Bury North) asked Dame Caroline Spelman, the Church of England's representative in the Commons, what steps the Church is taking to ensure its prison chaplains are not being hoodwinked by devious criminals.
He said: "Can you explain what measures are in place to monitor prisoners' commitment to the Christian faith after their release from prison?"
