Canada Has Euthanized Almost 100,000 People

Canada’s experience should serve as a warning to the rest of the world


Canada made a dark choice in 2016.

Instead of investing in more care, support, and hope for people who are suffering, the Canadian government legalized assisted suicide through a program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). From the beginning, it was presented as a “last resort” for people with serious illnesses — treating death as the answer to suffering instead of offering true compassion, care, and support.

But nearly ten years later, the program has expanded far beyond that. --- More...

Pro-Life Ken Paxton Wins Texas Republican Senate Primary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn in the state’s primary runoff Tuesday, adding to President Donald Trump’s hot streak of unseating those he considers insufficiently loyal and ending Cornyn’s multi-decade career in the Senate.

The Associated Press declared Paxton the victor at 9 p.m. EDT, when he held a 25 point lead over Cornyn. Paxton had secured 62.5% of the vote to Cornyn’s 37.5%.

In his victory speech, Paxton credited his victory to Trump and pledged to work with him. ---More...



Canadian Doctor Who Euthanized Man After Coffee Shop Meeting Placed Under Supervision

After one of his patients had his euthanasia assessment conducted outside a doughnut shop, an Ontario doctor has been placed under supervision by the province’s physicians’ regulator due to repeated failures to adhere to protocols and procedures.

Dr James MacLean was the subject of two complaints relating to two cases involving Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide regime, known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

After the cases, one of which included conducting an assessment outside the cafe and doughnut shop Tim Hortons, his general conduct was reviewed by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, and it was determined that MacLean displayed a lack of judgment in his decisions, dealt with patients in a way that “raised a risk of perceived coercion”, and kept inadequate records. ---More...


Catholic Bishop: Vote Against Virginia Abortions Up to Birth Amendment

During a recent episode of his “Walk Humbly” podcast, the Bishop of Arlington, Virginia, Michael Francis Burbidge, spoke out against two proposed constitutional amendments likely appearing before Virginia voters this November, describing them as measures “from the evil one.”

Among the constitutional amendments likely slated for Virginia’s November 2026 general election are a proposal concerning reproductive issues like abortion, contraception, and in vitro fertilization, and another concerning same-sex marriage. Burbidge framed both measures as conflicting with Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life and marriage and has long signaled opposition to both proposals.

Last January, he criticized the “extreme abortion amendment,” pledging to “be deeply engaged in the work of helping to educate voters on these proposed amendments” and to “fight the extreme abortion amendment with maximum determination.” ---More...


Pro-Life Republican Mayes Middleton Wins Primary for Texas Attorney General

Pro-Life Republican Mayes Middleton won Tuesday’s election to become the party’s nominee for Texas attorney general. This is one of the most important roles in the Texas government when it comes to upholding Pro-Life laws and stopping illegal abortions. Middleton will face Democrat Nathan Johnson in November.

The Texas attorney general is one of the most consequential positions for the Pro-Life movement, not just in Texas but across the country. Texas has led the nation by passing and defending strong Pro-Life laws, but the state still needs someone to make sure the law is being followed. Without a bold attorney general, even the best-written protections could be worthless.

Middleton’s record from the Texas House and Senate proves his readiness for this task. He earned a 100% Pro-Life score every year in office and helped pass bills to protect preborn children, crack down on illegal abortion pills, block taxpayer-funded abortions, and save hospital patients from having their treatment taken away. Middleton’s experience shows he is able to carry our Pro-Life legal efforts forward and stop abortionists from killing Texas babies, even if the activists are in other states. ---More...
