Death by Partner's Suicide Drugs

A person has killed themselves using assisted suicide drugs originally prescribed for their partner, a report in the Australian state of Victoria has revealed.

The Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board’s Annual Report explained that the original patient died in hospital in April 2026 before they could take the lethal drugs they had been prescribed, and the subsequent suicide most likely occurred two days later. By law, the partner had been required to return the drugs to a pharmacist within 15 days, but instead used them to commit suicide.

Between June 2019 and July 2026, there have been 2,452 batches of lethal drugs given to assisted suicide applicants, but there are only records of 1,755 people dying by those means. This leaves 697 drugs left unaccounted for, some of which may have been returned or could still remain in people’s homes.

Despite reporting the case, the Review Board claimed to find “no evidence that any aspect of the VAD request and assessment process, or the dispensing of the substance, contributed to the circumstances that followed”.

It continued: “The program continues to operate safely, and this incident does not alter the Board’s assessment of the safety and integrity of the VAD framework.”

It is extraordinary to give that reassurance when drugs supplied through the system appear to have been used to end someone else’s life.

  • Fake 'Health' Site Encourages Abortion in Africa

    Just how far will the abortion industry go to put pills into the hands of African women? 

    The Population Research Institute (PRI) decided to find out.

    Its research team opened WhatsApp and messaged “Nurse Nisa,” a chatbot built by Ipas, the North Carolina-based abortion giant, together with the tech firm Dimagi. It operates in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    Within a few messages “Nurse Nisa” — who of course is not a nurse at all — had assured them that abortion pills are safe for “women and girls of all ages,” sent a link to an online pregnancy calculator, and walked them through taking 12 misoprostol pills. 

    The website behind that link went further: misoprostol, it said, can be bought at a pharmacy, “sometimes without a prescription.” 

    Much of what the phony nurse said was false. The rest was dangerous. Not surprising since “she” is practicing medicine without a license!

    Nisa’s opening line is breezy: “Safi! Let’s talk about abortion.” The pills, she assures us, are safe for “women and girls of all ages.”

     

  • Michelle Obama Jokes About Abortion

    On September 30, actress Sharon Stone told Michelle Obama that she had an abortion when she was 18, triggering a conversation in which both women insisted that if men could get abortions, it would be available in vending machines.

    Michelle Obama launched the IMO podcast in March 2025 with her brother Craig Robinson, and it swiftly garnered a reputation for being a platform for the former first lady’s grievances. Wednesday’s episode was no different.

    Stone began by stating that women’s care has been under-researched, and then claimed that some want to “prosecute women for having a miscarriage,” an objectively false characterization of pro-life protections for pre-born children. “What kind of arcane bulls**t is this?” Stone demanded. (The kind an abortion activist actress invents is the correct answer here.)

  • ProLife Victory in Belfast

    Plans to illuminate Belfast City Hall in celebration of abortion have been halted, following a backlash.

    The council decided to seek legal advice after the DUP used a ‘call in’ procedure to object to the building being lit up for International Safe Abortion Day on 28 September.

    Over 21,000 people signed a petition against the plans, and protests were organised outside the landmark by pro-life campaigners and the Free Presbyterian Church.

    The founder of pro-life group Precious Life, Bernadette Smyth, told those gathered outside the landmark: “We have lights here on this building but they are not green, they’re white. It is the light for life, the light of people who refused to be silent, the light of councillors who stood up and challenged the decision.”

    Rev Ian Brown from the Free Presbyterian Church said the protesters were there to “raise witness and be a voice for the voiceless”. He stated: “Commemorating the slaughter of the innocent is reprehensible.

    Jim Dowson, founder of the LifeLeague, told journalists covering the main protest that Sinn Fein's effort to celebrate the mass murder of unborn children by turning the City Hall green was an attempt to add insult to injury for the loyalist community, which has made common cause with Catholic opponents of abortion. "We have fought the purveyors of Death every inch of the way here, and we will fight them every inch of the way back until abortion is once again illegal in Northern Ireland. And we will stand with the good people of the Republic to make their unborn babies safe again as well."  

  • Deadly Impact of New Abortion Law

    The Labour Government has admitted that it is no longer a criminal offence for a woman to intentionally deceive a doctor about the gestation of her baby in order to receive abortion pills by post beyond the legal time limit in England and Wales, at any stage of pregnancy, right up to birth.

    The Government has published an Equalities Impact Assessment on the ‘abortion up to birth clause‘ in the Crime and Policing Act 2026, which makes it no longer illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason, including sex-selective purposes, and at any point up to and during birth.

    The shocking Assessment also reveals that it would no longer be a criminal offence for a woman at full term to lie to an abortion provider about her unborn baby’s age to obtain abortion pills to end the life of her fully formed unborn baby.

    It states that a woman could “deceive a registered medical practitioner about the gestation of her pregnancy in order to procure an abortion by pills via pills by post beyond the 10-week time limit” without the possibility of a criminal conviction for doing so.

    Through the passing of this law, women who have previously been convicted or cautioned for criminal offences related to abortion in regard to their own pregnancies will be pardoned, and relevant records are to be deleted. The Government has stated that it does not know how many arrests or investigations this will impact, as data is not available relating to this. This means that Parliament has legislated for a potentially widespread deletion of records, the extent and scope of which the Government cannot quantify.

  • 'Obscene' Abortion Celebration Slammed

    Dublin’s “obscene” celebration of abortion has been rebuked by Senators, TDs and Councillors.

    Mansion House and Trinity College were illuminated in green to mark ‘International Safe Abortion Day’ on 28 September, despite reports that neither the council nor the public were consulted.

    Abortions in the Republic of Ireland have surpassed 10,000 a year for three years in a row, with 10,600 babies killed last year.

    The Christian Institute’s Director Ciarán Kelly called the display a “vile act”, saying: “10,000 plus abortions a year is a tragedy to be mourned, not celebrated.”

    Independent TD Carol Nolan described it as “an obscene gesture” and “a symbol of how degraded the appreciation of innocent human life has become”.

  • Irish Favour Abortion Reflection Safeguard

    Despite decades of pro-death propaganda, a clear majority of Irish voters still believe that there should be a period of reflection in which a pregnant woman can change her mind before going through with an abortion.

    The Irish public continue to support the statutory three-day reflection period for an abortion, despite attempts to remove it, a poll has confirmed.

    Of 875 adults in the Republic of Ireland contacted by Amárach Research on behalf of the Pro-Life Campaign, 47 per cent believed that the waiting period should be “retained”. Far fewer - only 38 per cent - said that it should be “removed”, with 16 per cent unsure.

    In June, deputies backed a Sinn Féin Bill to remove the reflection period by 86 votes to 70. The proposal will now be considered by an Oireachtas committee.

    Pro Life Campaign spokesperson Eilís Mulroy welcomed the poll’s findings: “We are very encouraged, though not surprised, by these results. Public support for retaining the three-day reflection period has been evident for months and, if anything, appears to be strengthening.”

    “As more people hear the full case for retaining the three-day reflection period, we believe public support will grow even stronger. Replies to parliamentary questions show that, over a five-year period, 10,534 women did not return to proceed with an abortion after the three-day period had elapsed.

    “That’s an incredible figure and one that, in our view, proves the life-saving impact of the waiting period.”

    She concluded: “It is truly shocking that Sinn Féin and other backers of abolishing the three-day wait didn’t even take the time to formally consult with any of these women before pressing ahead with their agenda to get rid of one of the last remaining safeguards under Ireland’s abortion on demand regime.”

  • ProLifers in Pre-Election TV Ads Blitz

    Led by Operation Rescue founder and 2024 presidential candidate Randall Terry, a slate of 10 congressional candidates are unleashing a flurry of graphic pro-life TV campaign ads challenging President Donald Trump, his Department of Justice (DOJ), and GOP members of Congress to do more for the unborn.

    The brutally honest TV commercials have already aired during The View, ABC’s Good Morning America, and local news. The ads are also scheduled to run during NBC’s The Today Show, CBS Evening News, daytime shows General Hospital and The Young and the Restless, and more. 

    Some conservatives have expressed their displeasure — if not anger — at Terry because of his bold criticisms of Trump and the GOP-led Congress who have failed to make fighting abortion a top priority. 

    “Our first loyalty is to God and the babies, not to the Republican Party,” Terry told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview.

    “Abortion, sadly, is not even in the top 10 voter issues right now in America. It’s hovering between one and three percent. TV ads like this drive abortion back into the center of the political debate, where the babies deserve it to be,” he added.

    The ads, which began running in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area this week, show gruesome photos and video of the five children who were the victims of late-term abortion at a Washington facility in 2022. The ad names all five children: Harriet, Phoenix, Angel, Holly, and Christopher.  

    Terry minces no words in the commercials, which are currently running on D.C.’s major network affiliates.  

    “President Trump, Baby Harriet was found in 2022 with four other late-term babies. Your DOJ has done nothing,” begins Terry in a commercial titled, “President Trump, when you meet God.” 

    “Millions of babies have died from the abortion pill, but you, HHS, and Congress, have done nothing,” continues Terry.  

    “You said God spared you life. When you face him, what will he say?” he asks.  

    “You have the power to save millions of his children, but you’re not. You and Congress must honor God and use your authority to end this genocide,” urges candidate Terry. 

    In a second ad, Terry warns: “If you lose the House or Senate, blame yourselves, because you betrayed your voter base.”

    “Mr President, you’re focused on things far less important than ending this genocide,” says Terry. “America cannot be great wading through the blood of innocent babies.”

    “God spared your life,” said Terry, adjuring President Trump. “It’s time to use your life to save his children.”  

  • Dying South Korea to Legalise Abortion Pills

    Korean Christians are strongly condemning the South Korean government’s announcement on Wednesday that the use of abortion pills will be permitted in the country for the first time. As recently as June, the Seoul Administrative Court had ruled that abortion groups could not advertise for the deadly drug within the country. That appears is now set to change.

    Despite the fact that the country has a disastrously low birth rate, and is spending huge sums trying to put that right, the decision will cut even further the number of little Koreans who are conceived and survive until birth.

    On September 16, the government stated that it plans to allow pill abortions for women up to nine weeks pregnant by early 2027, to be prescribed and dispensed by physicians for the first two years. The Constitutional Court formally decriminalised abortion in 2019, but South Korea’s parliament had deliberately delayed legislating on the issue due to strong opposition from Christian groups.

    “This introduction of medication abortion is meaningful because it’s a step to make sure that ending pregnancy is done more safely and within the national healthcare system, and to improve the situation caused by a lack of an effective government oversight system,” Gender Equality and Family Minister Won Min-kyong stated at a press conference.

    “The step is designed to approve a local company’s application for importing a two-drug combination pack consisting of mifepristone and misoprostol,” reported the Associated Press. “In July, President Lee Jae Myung, a liberal, instructed officials to explore ways to allow women to use the two-drug combination pack.” The Korea Women’s Association United, a feminist organization, called on the government to ensure that the abortion pill is covered by the national health insurance system.
