The cost of conservative hypocrisy

(Originally published in World News Group) One-man-one-woman marriage, pro-life convictions, the importance of mothers and fathers, and sex within marriage are mainstays of social conservatism, and for good reason. If we can’t conserve the iron triad of man, woman, and child, we won’t be able to conserve anything else. To that end, conservative brands and personalities have built massive followings by decrying single motherhood, same-sex marriage, and broken families. Except when their friends do it. At least that’s how it appears. The starkest example of conservative hypocrisy followed Dave R

Swiss Canton Liberates Suicide Tourism from Police Investigation

Switzerland is the world’s suicide tourism capital. Indeed, for the price of transportation and about $11,000, you can be helped to make yourself dead at one of the country’s notorious suicide clinics. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland if not done for a “selfish” purpose and if the soon-to-be-dead person has decisional capacity. (Why charging more than $10,000 to help make one dead isn’t considered “selfish” is beyond me, because it sure ain’t altruistic!) It used to be that each such assisted suicide had to be at least cursorily investigated by the authorities. But now, that minimal pr

A Pro-Child Response to President Trump’s IVF Executive Order

IVF has made a business of violating the rights of children. It circumvents, rather than heals, infertility. Infertility is heartbreaking for married couples who desperately want to welcome a baby into their family. These couples deserve compassion, but never at the cost of children’s right to life and right to their mother and father. President Trump’s executive order aims to make IVF more affordable and accessible. But IVF, as it is currently practiced, rampantly victimizes children. Only around 2.3% of lab-created babies will be born alive. The vast majority will be genetically screened, se
