The fight against euthanasia in Canada goes on. A Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) has tabled a petition against expanding euthanasia guidelines to include sick babies.
On November 6, Alberta MP Damien C. Kurek presented the House of Commons with a petition asking it to protect babies born with severe deformities or very serious syndromes from a Quebec recommendation to legalize killing them.
“We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call on the Government of Canada to block any attempt to allow the killing of children,” the petition declared.
The infanticidal recommendation, presented by Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians, would allow the murder of babies up to twelve months old if they are born with “severe deformities and very serious syndromes.”
“The petitioners are very concerned about the proposal for the legalized killing of infants. It is deeply disturbing to Canadians and goes against the values Canadians hold dear,” Kurek declared. “The petitioners emphasize that infanticide is always wrong.”
“We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call on the Government of Canada to block any attempt to allow the killing of children,” the petition concluded.
Canada’s euthanasia laws, administered under the euphemistic title of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), currently allow the killing by lethal injection of those who are not terminally ill but suffer from chronic disease.
As shocking as the calls for infanticide are, they are consistent with the culture of death promoted by the Trudeau government. In fact, data has revealed that hundreds of babies who survive abortions in Canada are left to die.
According to a Quebec study, one in ten babies aborted in the second trimester are born alive, but only10 percent live over three hours. Additionally, only 24 percent of the babies born alive were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) while only 5 percent received palliative care.
