| by Joshua Arnold |

| We Can't Leave People with Disabilities Behind |
| by Mary Szoch |
| Around the country, the headlines have been plagued with stories of mothers who wanted to give birth to their child but received a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis and now, often out of a deeply misguided attempt at compassion, are franticly searching for a way to abort their child. While these tragic narratives are heartbreaking - full of the mother's shattered hopes and dreams for her unborn child - they also fail to accurately depict what it means to love someone with a disability. |

While many students seek help amidst their struggles, there are plenty who don't as depression, anxiety, and loneliness hit record highs among the college population, according to a similar BU study.

| Trueman: Trans Ideology Views World as 'Cosmic Play-Doh' |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| "We like to think we're masters of our own destiny," Grove City College's Carl Trueman insists, "but there's a lot of evidence that points in the other direction." He explained two disadvantages in particular. First, "imagine the burden placed upon a three- or four-year-old who asks their parents, 'Who am I? Am I a boy or a girl?' And the parent says, 'Well, you've got to decide that for yourself.' That's a terrifying burden to place on the child." Second, "sooner or later, nature bites back. We're seeing already with the accounts of detransitioners." |
