Cultural Trends Signal Renewed Interest in NFP

By Stuart Hamilton In 1968, St. Pope Paul VI issued the landmark encyclical Humanae Vitae re-affirming the Church’s teaching that contraception technology was morally illicit for Christian use. At that time, the document drew heavy controversy. In the throws of the sexual revolution, secular culture had embraced contraception (and later abortion) as a means of expressing unlimited sexual freedom, and Humanae Vitae seemed out of touch....

On the Eve of Dobbs Anniversary–Remembrances & Future Challenges

By Stuart Hamilton June 24th, 2026 marks the 4 year anniversary of the Dobb’s v. Jackson US supreme court decision which overturned the federal legalization of abortion. In April, the last independent abortion mill in KY–EMW–was demolished. Last week I stopped by the now vacant lot to say a prayer at the place where hundreds of thousands of unborn human lives were ended since EMW’s founding in 1981....

A Tale of Two Bills & Two Visions for Pro-Life Work in KY

By Stuart Hamilton For almost four years now, abortion has been illegal in the state of Kentucky, except in cases in which the life of the mother is in danger. However, this has not stopped women from procuring surgical abortions or mail order chemical abortion kits from out of state. This has been the catalyst for strong debate about the best way to approach the goal of reducing abortion in Kentucky....

Life Isn’t About Racing to Stop Lights

By Stuart Hamilton Lent is my favorite time of the liturgical calendar. Most of the year can seem like a series of work deadlines and goals set by the rigors of life. It’s like a constant race from a green light to a stop light, propelling you forward in “the world” but not necessarily to your ultimate destiny–total communion with God....

by Stuart Hamilton It’s been nearly three years since the Dobbs supreme court decision placed the legality of abortion in the hands of the states. Since that time, a Kentucky trigger law virtually banned surgical abortions in our state, with the exception of cases in which the life of the mother is at stake. Now, a new case threatens to permanently overturn the trigger law, becoming KY’s…...

By Stuart Hamilton In my day job as a teacher, I’m often asked by curious (and cynical) teenagers, “Why are you pro-life?" I always draw upon Genesis to discuss the intrinsic value of all human life made “in the image and likeness of God” (Gen 1:26-27). More fundamentally, however, I often reply that to believe in the mystery of the Incarnation is to witness a God who values human life on an intimate, personal level....

by Stuart Hamilton As Religious Freedom Week (June 22-29th) draws to a close, we are offered an opportunity to reflect on the great gift of religious freedom enjoyed here in the United States. It also reminds us, we must be vigilant, especially during these increasingly complicated times, to the constant threats against that gift. Recently I listened to an episode of the…...

By Stuart Hamilton A recent Alabama supreme court case regarding the status of frozen human embryos has catapulted the practice of in vitro fertilization (IVF) into a national debate about laws protecting unborn human life. In the case, a client at a fertility clinic wandered into an unlocked storage lab and attempted to examine frozen embryos stored in vials. She dropped the vials, subsequently destroying five frozen embryos from three separate couples....

by Stuart Hamilton If you pay any attention to the news, hope seems in short supply these days. Last Friday was the feast of the immaculate conception–one of the Church’s holy days of obligation. As I entered into that great liturgical celebration of the Church, what seemed most palpable to me was the calling to be a people of hope. ...
