UN GROUP SAYS GOVERNMENT MUST FORCE MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO PROVIDE ABORTIONS, by Stefano Gennarini. “A group of UN human rights experts have called for governments to clamp down on conscientious objection to abortion by hospitals, doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel. In a report published this week, the UN working group on discrimination against women and girls claims that governments have an international obligation to force all hospitals to provide abortions, including religious hospitals. The report goes as far as describing institutional conscientious objection as ‘impermissible’ and a ‘human rights violation.’” Read more here.
DETRANSITION: AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH FOR THE LEFT, by Laura Becker. “I am a woman with no breasts. I haven’t had a normal female body since I was 20-years-old, but it’s not because of a tragic accident, birth defect, or cancer. My body was born healthy, my breasts grew fine, and in most ways I am a normal 28-year-old. As developmentally appropriate, I dream of finding a mate, getting married, and having children, but this natural ambition has been delayed because instead of learning the necessary life skills to mature into adulthood, my teens and early twenties were spent in hell. I grew up in a spiritual body modification cult: transgenderism.” Read more here.

HOW LEGALIZING SURROGACY HELPS ACTIVISTS ‘QUEER BABIES,’ by Katy Faust. “In December, gay father Balázs Boross published ‘Queering babies: (Auto)ethnographic reflections from a gay parent through surrogacy’ in the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture, and Society. The essay ‘explores how encounters with [a surrogate baby] disrupt or confirm normative expectations about the ‘babyness’ of babies, the ‘parentness’ of parents.’ Boross suggests ‘surrogate babies are queer creatures by default,’ ‘given their prenatal history,’ and ‘that queerness can serve as a window into the queerness of all babies.’” Read more here.
1 IN 1,000 PRIVATELY INSURED 17-YEAR-OLDS WERE TAKING CROSS-SEX HORMONES PRIOR TO STATE BANS, by Benjamin Ryan. “By age 17, about 1 in 1,000 privately insured minors were receiving gender-transition hormones between 2018 and 2022. This broke down to about 140 per 100,000 natal girls taking testosterone and 82 per 100,000 natal boys taking estrogen by this final year before teens hit the age of majority. Compared with cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers were prescribed to adolescents with a transgender-related diagnosis at a much lower overall rate during this five-year period.” Read more here.
