Nazi-Style "Mercy Killing" in England
One of the most appalling acts of the Hitler regime was the institutionalised mass murder of disabled people - including thousands of babies. Two "excuses" were given at the time: The first that there weren't the "resources" to help everyone (especially once war broke out, triggering in Germans the memory of the Allied blockade of WW1 and part of 1919, during which several hundred thousand German children died of starvation).
The second was that it was an act of "mercy" to end miserable and futile lives.
Everyone today condemns all that as Nazi barbarism, but the terrible truth is that modern Britain is no better. The "resources" argument is now used, sometimes openly, more often in rather coded language, to "justify" euthanasia.
And "mercy killing" is the fate of thousands of innocent babies detected before birth with Downes Syndrome.

Archbishop Warns of Birth Rate Crash
The collapse of Christian values has led to a corresponding crash in the birth rate, and it poses a really serious danger to our entire society. This is the warming from Héctor Aguer, Archbishop Emeritus of La Plata, Argentina.
The cleric has made his remarks after the release of an alarming report on the plummeting birth rate in Argentina.
'Our country, already sparsely populated, runs the risk of almost becoming a semi-desert if this trend continues. According to official figures revealed by the national health authorities, in 2023 there were only 460,902 births, the lowest figure in the last 50 years. This implies a reduction of 7 percent with respect to 2022, and of more than 40 percent with respect to 2014. The fertility rate in 2023 was 1.33, well below the replacement rate of 2.1, which is the number of children needed to keep the population stable.
'These are concrete numbers, not “reports.” This is the result of decades of plundering, not “winning,” as it was called by the ruling parties of the time. Governments of apparently different political persuasions, yet all of them functional to anti-natalist globalism, abandoned Juan Bautista Alberdi’s “to govern is to populate” for the alleged “empowerment” of abortion, divorce, the destruction of marriage and the family, the praise of promiscuity, and any other anti-Christian – and therefore anti-human – agenda going around.
'Christian tradition has always presented the family model, which in the modern world has been substantially changed to the point of being unrecognizable. The drop in the meaning of marriage via divorce has led to the denaturalization of the roles of men and women. According to this perspective, children are not a natural consequence and pets take their place. Culture – or rather, utilization – has replaced nature.
'Propaganda in favor of homosexuality and the spread of this practice have also undermined the natural purpose of having children. The ruinous phenomenon of “same-sex marriage” has given rise to the adoption of children who, contrary to the most fundamental principles of nature, grow up without knowing what a mother and a father are.' -
One Woman at WAR With Porn
For four years, the world’s most popular porn site – Pornhub – has been dealing with a non-stop public relations crisis largely due to a campaign started by one woman.
Brave activist Laila Mickelwait of the Justice Defense Fund founded the #Traffickinghub movement in 2020 with an army of supporters. With 33.5 billion visits in 2018, Pornhub features sexual violence and the degradation of women. Some of those assaults are criminal, a fact horrifyingly highlighted when a mother of a 15-year-old girl from south Florida who had been missing for almost a year discovered that her daughter was still alive when pornographic photos and videos of the missing teen surfaced. Held against her will, the minor was forcibly featured in 58 porn videos that were uploaded online, including to Pornhub.
#Traffickinghub exposed these horrors. It rapidly became a movement, with over 600 organizations participating and over 2.2 million people in 192 countries signing the #Traffickinghub petition. Her activism led two-time Pulitzer Prize recipient Nicholas Kristoff of the New York Times to do his own investigation.
Kristoff’s report, “The Children of Pornhub,” detailed evidence of child abuse, included interviews with victims, and noted that the site “is infested with rape videos … (i)t monetizes child rapes, revenge pornography, spy cams of women showering, racist and misogynist content, and footage of women being asphyxiated in plastic bags … Most aren’t of children being assaulted, but too many are.” His conclusion? “Pornhub is Jeffrey Epstein times 1,000.”
“When I became aware of the horrific crimes being perpetrated against victims on Pornhub, I had a responsibility to sound the alarm on what I had discovered and how Pornhub was going to great lengths to cover it up,” Mickelwait told me. She continued:
It has been a tough fight, but we have collectively seen some incredible victories. Thousands of media articles have been written exposing Pornhub, which has severely damaged their brand. After a long battle, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover have finally cut all ties with Pornhub, leaving them with only cryptocurrency as a payment option. Most of their major advertisers and business partners have cut ties with Pornhub, including Comcast, Xfinity, Roku, Grant Thornton, Heinz, Unilever, and countless others.
It is a stunning fall for one of the most powerful porn monopolies on the planet – and Mickelwait’s movement isn’t finished. She takes to social media daily to detail the sexual violence rampant on the platform.
“Meta recently shut down Pornhub’s 13 million follower Instagram account,” she said. “One hundred and ninety-four victims have now sued Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek in individual and class action lawsuits across the U.S. and Canada. The Canadian government also engaged in a parliamentary investigation into Pornhub’s exploitation of victims. We aren’t done yet, but it is encouraging to see the progress made since the movement was launched in early 2020. I am seeing left and right, conservative and liberal, religious and non-religious people all raising their voices and taking action.”
In response, Mindgeek – which owned Pornhub and many other porn sites – was sold to the investor group Ethical Capital Partners in March 2023 and rebranded as Avlo. The company owns Pornhub and three other “streaming sites,” porn production companies, and paid porn sites.
Solomon Friedman, an ordained rabbi and criminal defense lawyer from Ottawa, is one of the founding members of Ethical Capital Partners. He is now on a desperate PR effort to try to rebrand his twisted company as "ethical". He's being helped in this by many liberal media outlets, but, for all their efforts, the tide of public opinion is clearly flowing against such filth.

Prosecuted for Holding a Sign
The anti-freedom extremism of England's "buffer zone" law has just become even clearer.
A retired medical scientist is being put in the dock in a landmark freedom of speech case after she stood near an abortion clinic holding the sign: 'Here to talk if you want to'.
Livia Tossici-Bolt, 63, is accused of breaching a 'buffer zone' set up in Bournemouth that bans protests and 'expression of approval or disapproval of abortion'.
Ms Tossici-Bolt, who worked at Southampton's University Hospital Trust as a medical researcher, will appear at Bournemouth Magistrates' Court on March 6.
She has refused to pay a fixed penalty notice issued by the local council in June 2023 and denies her 'here to talk if you want to' sign was inflammatory and believes her right to freedom of expression is under threat.
Several people approached her to take up her offer of a conversation about matters going on in their lives, Livia claims.
The prosecution is being brought by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council who are seeking to enforce a legal ban on any demonstration within around 500ft of an abortion clinic in England and Wales. They declined to comment.
But Ms Tossici-Bolt insists that holding the sign in the zone, and chatting to people, cannot be a breach.
She said: 'I shouldn't be treated like a criminal just for this. There's nothing wrong with two adults engaging in a consensual conversation on the street'.

Unborn Babies Feel Pain at 12 Weeks
Unborn children as young as 12 weeks gestation have a brain and nervous system which can experience pain. This has been known since 2020, when experts in fetal pain research agreed that a preponderance of evidence suggests that pain perception does not require the cortex.
This has become understood thanks to research connected to fetal surgery. This is surgical intervention performed on unborn infants in the womb (in utero) to treat diseases and birth defects of the infant prior to birth.
Fetal treatment centres around the world possess the expertise to treat a wide variety of previously debilitating birth defects including but not limited to amniotic band syndrome, bronchopulmonary sequestration of the lung, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital high airway obstruction syndrome, fetal anemia, lower urinary tract obstruction, mediastinal teratoma, neck mass, sacrococcygeal teratoma, spina bifida, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence, and twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
The success of fetal surgery, however, would not be what it is today without concomitant advances in another medical specialty: anesthesia and pain management. Shockingly, prior to the late 1980s, surgeries on newborns less than one month old (neonates) were mostly performed without anesthesia because, their cries notwithstanding, neonates were thought to lack the neurological maturity to perceive pain. Fortunately, in 1987 Drs. Anand and Hickey published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that disabused the field of pediatrics of this cruel practice. They documented the growing body of research that demonstrated painful procedures in both preterm and full-term neonates elicit significant negative physiological changes which also had potentially long-term negative implications. Hence, they recommended changing the standard of care in favour of providing local and general anesthesia to all neonates during invasive procedures.
There was still some question about the need to provide anesthesia to children in utero, however, because the intrauterine environment contains a group of endocrine neuroinhibitors and was believed to provide natural anesthesia to the fetus. In 2001 this question was definitively answered for fetuses 25 weeks and older by Dr. Gitau and colleagues who documented the physiologic responses of unborn children who required in-utero blood transfusions. They found that unborn children who received their transfusions through the placental cord insertion site which lacks nerves had no increase in physiologic stress hormones or markers. In contrast, unborn children who received their transfusions into their hepatic vein, which required piercing their abdomen with a needle, had significant increases in their stress hormones and markers.
By 2020, experts in fetal pain research agreed that a preponderance of evidence suggests that pain perception does not require the cortex. Consequently, unborn children as young as 12 weeks gestation have a brain and nervous system which can experience pain and produce an immediate non-reflexive pain response.
Anesthesiologists at fetal therapy centers are now keenly aware of the importance of pain and sedation management for both mothers and their unborn children during fetal surgery. These anesthesiologists play a crucial role in the risk assessment of both patients, facilitate multidisciplinary coordination, and maintain maternal and fetal homeostasis which optimises conditions for their surgical colleagues
