Douglas, Isle of Man, Jan 17, 2017 / 08:04 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- A member of the Isle of Man's legislature and a pro-choice campaign group are aiming to reform the island's abortion laws, but are receiving push-back from a local right-to-life group.“Our current law has at least done a good job of maintaining general right-to-life protections for unborn children, and safeguarding Manx women from the worst effects of the system of abortion-on-demand in the UK,” Hannah Grove, spokesperson of Humanity and Equality in Abortion Reform, said Jan. 15.“The Island has an abortion rate that is at least a third of England and Wales, and that is because of the wise strictures in our native 1995 legislation. We are way ahead of the UK, and adopting anything like their outdated and failed 1967 Act would be a regressive and hopeless folly.”Though abortion is not illegal on the Isle of Man, a crown dependency located between England and Northern Ireland, its current la...

Rome, Italy, Jan 17, 2017 / 02:15 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- As the Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominicans, celebrate the 800th anniversary of their founding, they gather in Rome from around the world to reflect on their history, their charism of preaching, and how they can continue to put this charism at the service of the Church today.The International Congress for the Mission of the Order, taking place Jan. 17-21, comes at the close of the order’s celebration of a Jubilee Year, which marks the 800th anniversary of their founding by St. Dominic.One purpose of the congress, Dominican Brother Vivian Boland told CNA, is as a chance for the order “to thank God for the graces of the past year, but also to try to re-own the mission of the order in the Church and to give it a fresh energy, a fresh impulse…”The charism of the Dominicans, Br. Boland said, can sometimes be difficult to pick out, because it’s a charism “that’s at the very hear...

The feminist protest had previously listed New Wave Feminists as a partner, but by Monday afternoon had removed links to the Texan pro-life group from the event’s website.Earlier that day, The Atlantic featured a piece on pro-life par...
