Quebec Tops Euthanasia League
The Canadian province of Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.
The Quebec 2024–2025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care has revealed that deaths by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) have reached 7.4 percent of the total provincial deaths and have increased 9% since last year.
“The Commission notes that MAiD is in increasing demand and occupies an important place in the public sphere in Quebec,” the report asserts.
“The Commission rigorously and vigilantly fulfills its mandate to ensure that MAiD requirements are properly applied in Quebec and that MAiD is not chosen as a treatment option when other [sic] curative, palliative, or end-of-life care options are unavailable,” it continued.
Despite its promise, the commission reported that 50 percent of the MAiD requests were from those who felt they were a burden to family, friends, or caregivers. Twenty-four percent of those killed cited loneliness and isolation as reasons to end their lives.
Additionally, the report found an alarmingly short period of time between MAiD requests and doctors administering the lethal drugs. According to the report, 4 percent of requests for MAiD were fulfilled on the same or next day.
When the old, sick, depressed or homeless agree to be 'offd', the lat thing a modern state wants is to give them time to change their minds!

Men March for the Unborn
Hundreds of pro-life men from across the country gathered last weekend for the fourth annual National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood.
On November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints, around 200 men marched six miles from a Planned Parenthood to Boston Common to bear witness to the unborn, dealing with some leftist protesters along the way.
March organizer Jim Havens emphasized to LifeSiteNews that he hopes the march will help inspire pro-life men to get off the sidelines and into the battle for the unborn, and lead the Supreme Court to hear a case on unborn children’s constitutional personhood.
One of the marchers, who drove several hours from Philadelphia to participate, highlighted the significant impact the couple hundred men had on the pro-life movement and the need for more Catholics to get involved in similar events.

Aborted Babies Left to Die in New Zealand
The abortion industry’s ugliest secret is that babies are regularly born alive after attempted abortions and left to die by the medical professionals who had just tried to kill them. There are frequent and documented examples of this in just the past several years in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and in Ireland, where abortion has only been legal since 2019.
Now government data has confirmed that in New Zealand, babies are being born alive after attempted abortions at least once a month and, as is standard practice, are dying without being provided medical care. Abortion is legal on demand until 20 weeks of pregnancy and is frequently perpetrated afterwards if a doctor signs off that it is necessary for “health” reasons.
“Family First New Zealand reported they were able to obtain government data after filing an official request, and discovered preborn children survive attempted abortions on a regular basis,” Live Action News reported. “Since 2020, 80 attempted abortions have resulted in live births, though the real number may be even higher, as some districts did not provide the information. The abortion survivors were between 20 and 30 weeks gestation, and received no life-saving care.”
The report further noted that medical care was only granted to babies who were wanted by their parents: “Disturbingly, Te Tai Tokerau district said that life-sustaining care is considered only for ‘wanted babies at 22 weeks + 5 days.’ At Waikato, there is ‘parental discretion to opt in or opt out of resuscitation.’ Canterbury have previously advised that the ‘baby is wrapped in a blanket and held until it passes.’”
Specific instances of this horrifying protocol have been revealed in the past. In 2021, Gript reported that a “healthy baby was reportedly born alive after an unsuccessful late-term abortion, and was left to die in a New Zealand hospital” and that “the baby was left gasping for two hours whilst healthcare workers refused to intervene, before dying.” A healthcare student who was deeply traumatized from witnessing the baby’s death said the mother had been over 21 weeks pregnant.
“We wouldn’t do that to an animal. I was horrified,” said the student, going by the pseudonym Nicola. “We didn’t empower this woman by leaving her child to suffer and die like that. When she left the hospital, she was still in need of support and help for her situation. All we did was end the life of her baby in a drawn-out and cruel way. It’s actually vile and disgusting that any human would be treated that way.”

More Inhumanity From Chris Whitty
The man who did so much to impose Covid hysteria, lockdown and toxic untested jabs on Britain is now causing outrage with his support for assisted suicide. Chief Medical Officer for England, Chris Whitty, has suggested that even attempting to talk a loved one out of having the state assist them in suicide is “coercion”, prompting a backlash from commentators who have suggested this is a direct attack on national suicide prevention efforts.
Yesterday, during the House of Lords assisted suicide Bill select committee, Professor Sir Chris Whitty was called as an expert witness to give evidence on the Bill. In response to a question about coercion and pressure, Whitty said “I’ve got the impression that people think that all coercion is due to people doing it for nefarious reasons. Actually, you also get coercion, including from family members who, in their own view, are doing their best for a relative they see is in distress and are imposing their views on the individual who themselves may have a different view”.
He went on to say that “the whole point of people having adequate consent as an adult is that, provided they have capacity, they should be taking the decisions”.
“Ultimately, it’s [the decision of the person who desires assistance in suicide], and you do need to be alert to this form of coercion”, he added.

Man Who Lost Two Grandmas Warns Against Euthanasia
A new video from Dying to Meet You — "a project of cultural renewal to humanize our conversation on suffering, death, meaning, and hope... seek[ing] to value every human person," according to creator Amanda Achtman — sheds light on some of the lasting trauma that MAiD leaves in its wake. In an interview with Achtman, Benjamin Turland shared his heart-wrenching experience in losing both of his grandmothers to euthanasia in Canada.
Turland shared with Achtman that his first grandmother was very close to dying of natural causes, so he couldn't understand why she chose to go through with a MAID death. "It just wrecked me," he said.
Two months later, his second grandmother — whom he described as one of his closest confidantes and one of his closest friends — also chose to pursue euthanasia. On her sickbed, she thanked him for letting her "go through" with euthanasia, even though he said he didn't want her to do it. That left him with a strong guilt.
"Why didn't I say something?" he thought afterward.
Turland explained that seeing both of his grandmothers choose euthanasia prompted him to do some soul-searching.
"Did I not love you enough? Did I not love you the correct way?" he wondered. "Did I not make you feel like you're not a burden?... What did I do wrong that makes you want to end it now?"
Achtman noted that "It's always painful to lose the people we love," and asked Turland, "What difference does it make to lose someone to medical assistance in dying?"
"It's the choice of MAiD that hurts," Turland said, noting that when his grandfathers both passed, "it was the natural time for them to go. But when you choose it, you feel like then there's something I could have done, and it impacts multiple generations."
He advised everyone to discourage their grandparents from choosing MAiD now, before it's too late. He believes most grandchildren can have a bigger influence than they realize.
"You can't lose anything by telling them how much you love them and you want to be with them," he said.
The rapid expansion of "assisted dying" in Canada and around the globe is championed as a win for people who want to control every aspect of their death.
But Turland's experience exposes a dark underside to so-called 'death with dignity' — the havoc it wreaks on the family left behind. This trauma is yet another indication that suicide is never the answer.

Abortion Pill Hospitalises 54,000 Women
NHS England data shows that over 54,000 women have been hospitalised following at-home abortion complications since 2020.
Research organisation Percuity reported that, according to the NHS data, 1-in-17 women who had an abortion at home required hospital care for complications including incomplete abortions, infections, and excessive haemorrhages.
The DIY scheme was introduced in 2020, and now most abortions take place at home.
Percuity stated: “The government is fully aware of the numbers of women being admitted to hospital for treatment of abortion complications but for some reason seems unwilling to report these on an annual basis.”
Women cannot give informed consent if the risks are downplayed, and deliberately minimising these dangers is unacceptable. Telemedicine, which posts out abortion pills to mothers without them seeing a medical professional in person, is so clearly harming women it’s baffling to think anybody could ignore their plight.

Trigger Warnings on Bible
The University of Sheffield has slapped ‘trigger warnings’ on the Bible’s account of Jesus’ life leading up to his crucifixion.
According to Freedom of Information requests obtained by The Mail on Sunday, English Literature students studying biblical and classical sources were warned of “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence” in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A similar warning was placed on Genesis’ story of Cain and Abel.
Last year, Nottingham University was criticised for flagging medieval literature’s “expressions of Christian faith” as potentially distressing content.

Man Convicted of Killing Unborn Child and Girlfriend
A Florida man who shot his pregnant girlfriend dead in Florida in 2022 was convicted on October 27 by jury of first-degree murder, burglary, and the killing of their unborn child. He may face the death penalty as a result. The killing led to even pro-abortion media outlets admitting that an unborn child is a human person.
Twenty-three-year-old Donovan Faison invited his girlfriend, 18-year-old Kaylin Fiengo, to Coastline Park in Sanford, Florida, on November 11, 2022. Fiengo thought they would be celebrating the pregnancy; instead, Faison shot her in the head while she sat inside her car. He was arrested on August 29, 2023.
Fiengo had been happy when she found out she was pregnant; she sent her boyfriend a “photo of two positive pregnancy tests.” Faison, however, responded by angrily texting her one word: “Abortion!!!” Prosecutors stated that Faison thought she was lying and was “angry and felt pressured because he was living with another woman who accurately suspected him of cheating.”
Faison had another child with a different woman, and he offered to purchase Plan B for Fiengo to induce an abortion. Fiengo also shared a child with a separate father, whom she told that she hoped Faison would not punch her in the stomach when she met with him.
Faison’s anger grew when Fiengo refused to get an abortion, even though he demanded that she get one several times. According to Matt Reed, the public information officer for the State Attorney’s Office in the 18th Judicial Circuit, Faison sent a text shortly before he killed her that read: “On my brothers grave, I’m gonna crop her out.” It was these texts, discovered by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, that led to his arrest.
“He said he was going to do it, then he did it. The police got the right guy,” prosecutor Domenick Leo told the court. The police had discovered Fiengo’s body in the car, still running, in the parking lot during a routine patrol. The driver’s window was down, and there was blood near the door. Faison had manually disabled his phone and taken out the SIM card before going to the park to perpetrate the double murder.
According to one media outlet, prosecutors “were later able to place Faison at the scene thanks to a friend who said Fiengo had told her she was going to the park to meet him.” In a heartbreaking postscript, investigators discovered an ultrasound photo of the unborn child a few feet from Fiengo’s body. Both were left to die in the car after Faison shot her in the head. The baby was nearing the end of his first trimester.
“Although Kaylin’s family continues to feel the pain of her loss, we hope that today’s guilty verdict brings them some comfort and peace,” Police Chief Cecil Smith stated after the verdict. “We stand with Kaylin’s family and our community as justice is served and Faison faces sentencing. Thank you to our Major Crimes Unit for conducting a thorough and exhaustive investigation into such a difficult case. Our team also extends a special thank you to Detective Geraldine Blay-Raffo of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Digital Forensics Unit for lending her expertise to help our investigators seek justice for Kaylin.”
Faison demanded that his girlfriend kill their baby. When she refused, he murdered them both. It is revealing that media outlets—including pro-abortion publications such as People—emphasized that this was a double murder. Most media—and most progressive politicians—would refuse to publicly admit that the baby on the ultrasound photo found near Fiengo’s body is a human being in order to justify the abortion which Faison demanded. But two people died that tragic night three years ago, and this time, they are forced to admit it.

"Moral Urgency" on Aborted Babies
A new campaign to demand protections for babies who were born alive after failed abortions has seen massive success, with organizers saying they have witnessed “remarkable” interest from the general public.
“Left to Die” is the brainchild of Prolife Alberta. Its goal is to expose the Alberta Health Services (AHS) policy that allows babies born alive after botched abortions to die without care.
Prolife Alberta told LifeSiteNews that since LeftToDie.ca was launched in late September the “response has been remarkable.”
“It has awakened something long dormant — a sense of moral urgency that transcends politics,” a Prolife Alberta representative said.
“For many Albertans, it is the first time they have confronted the grim reality that our legal vacuum on abortion extends even beyond birth — and that such silence carries a human cost.”
According to Prolife Alberta, in 2024, “28 babies born alive after failed abortions in one year.”
The group said that the babies were offered “No resuscitation. No oxygen. No medical care” under “current AHS guidelines.”
“This isn’t a fringe claim — it’s confirmed by government statistics,” the group said.

"Blank Cheque" for Assisted Suicides
The Scottish Parliament has passed a financial resolution to the Scottish assisted suicide Bill that would hand a “blank cheque” to implement assisted suicide, with funding being diverted from other services to pay for this.
The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, at Stage 2 in Holyrood, would legalise assisted suicide for someone who is aged 16 or over, deemed mentally capable, ordinarily resident in Scotland, and terminally ill. There is no prognosis requirement specified.
Due to the likely large expenditure required by the implementation of assisted suicide, the Bill was required to be subject to a financial resolution before it could progress to the next Parliamentary stage.
Following a short and unexpected debate, the Scottish Parliament agreed to a motion giving permission for “any expenditure” whatsoever linked to the design of the Bill.
Pam Duncan-Glancy, MSP for Glasgow, the first permanent wheelchair user in the Scottish Parliament, said that the financial resolution “is in effect a blank cheque to make it easier to choose to die than to live”.
“Scottish hospices have said that, if assisted dying is legalised, hospices could see their fundraising efforts impacted”, she continued. “The Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland said that it did not think that costs could be absorbed within existing budgets. The Royal College of General Practitioners said that ‘Trying to add it on to a busy general practice would be very difficult’”.
She continued, “I have not touched on the crisis in social care, which sees staff on low pay, and disabled people having to rely on incontinence pads for hours because there is no money to pay staff to go in often enough to change them; or the housing crisis, which sees 10,000 disabled people stuck in their own homes; or the fact that one in four people who need palliative care in Scotland does not get it. What would the costs of the bill mean for the opportunities to address all of that?”
