Schadenberg estimates Canada's 2024 euthanasia total using available figures from Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. He explains that the national figure is a projection rather than the completed federal annual report.
Read →I previously wrote about pending Oregon and Vermont legislation to do away with the requirement that only doctors be allowed to legally assist suicides. Now, it’s Washington’s turn, with a proposal to allow “qualified medical providers” to prescribe poison, defined as a licensed physician, physician’s assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse. I previously opined about why I think this is a very bad idea, so I won’t belabor the points further. The Washington bill also speeds up the waiting period between the first and second request for poison pills for some suicidal patients: Notwithst

Read →Before children are born, we cannot communicate with them, touch them, or interact with them in the same ways we can with a child who is born. Hearing a baby’s heartbeat or seeing an ultrasound image can be powerful, but to some people, the preborn child may seem much less real than the already-born babies […] The post Abortion Survivors Speak to the Horror of Abortion appeared first on Celebrate Life Magazine .
Read →I once spent the afternoon taking part in a webinar focused on providing support, Church teaching, and information to families who receive a prenatal diagnosis that their child will be disabled in some way. Perhaps they are informed that the child will have Down syndrome or perhaps a birth defect that will lead either to early death […] The post ‘A Life Like Yours’: On the Dignity of the Disabled and the Call to Save Them from Abortion appeared first on Celebrate Life Magazine .
Read →In 2008 the Vatican issued Dignitas Personae, which explains that “dignity belongs equally to every single human being, irrespective of his parents’ desires.”1 This is not a new teaching but rather a restatement of the fundamental reason why the Fifth Commandment says “Thou shalt not kill.” Simple truth has become twisted, if not tossed away, […] The post PRO-LIFE BASICS: The Dignity of the Human Person appeared first on Celebrate Life Magazine .
Read →By Charlotte Pence Bond In our current intense political climate, it’s easy to place abortion in the world of politics and leave it there. Political “wins” and “losses” can often be the most discussed areas of the pro-life cause. While it’s important to focus on the political side of abortion and be informed about state […] The post Abortion Is A Matter of the Heart appeared first on Save the Storks .

Read →Yesterday, I posted about a Vermont bill that would allow nondoctors to prescribe death. I found out today that Oregon has similar legislation pending that would allow “providers” to lethally prescribe. SB 1003 specifies that “provider” can mean a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner. I wouldn’t trust a PA or NP to diagnose me with six months to live. Would you? That is not a putdown. These valuable medical professionals’ primary roles are to provide generalized care, monitor and manage chronic conditions, and provide wellness services. But they
Read →Vermont has repeatedly expanded its assisted suicide law since it first passed. Nonresidents are allowed to receive lethal prescriptions, and assisted suicide can be prescribed via Zoom or Skype. Now, a bill has been filed that would allow nondoctor “clinicians” to prescribe death. From H.B. 75: This bill proposes to authorize naturopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to participate in the processes established in Vermont’s patient choice at end-of-life laws. It would also allow naturopathic physicians to sign and issue do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders and clinician

Read →Pro-assisted-suicide activists like to say the unethical act is legal in Montana. Strictly speaking, that isn’t true. Some years ago, a muddled Montana supreme court ruling refused to create a state constitutional right to assisted suicide as requested by activists because the Montana constitution’s legislative history made it clear that the court couldn’t. But wanting to legalize it anyway, the judges declared somehow that assisted suicide wasn’t against public policy of the state and that consent to such an act was a defense to a criminal charge. Montana has been in that muddled legal state

Read →Taking abortion pills can lead to dangerous side effects, perhaps even death. Which is why the process of chemical abortion — called “medical” by pro-abortion advocates — is supposed to occur only under the guidance of a doctor. Indeed, post-Dobbs, women died because of improperly supervised chemical abortions, wrongly blamed by the media and pro-abortion advocates on pro-life laws. But the medical establishment is so invested in unlimited abortion that JAMA Internal Medicine just published an advocacy article calling for the two drugs used in chemical abortions to be available over the counte
