Ireland Legalized Abortion But Not Having Enough to Replace Population
The Vital Statistics report, published on Wednesday, shows that the number of babies born has continued to fall, down to 62,053 in 2017, a drop of 8,567 (12.1%) since 2007. There were 62,053 births registered in 2017, 31,855 male births and 30,198 female births, a decrease of 1,844 on 2016. The 62,053 births represent an annual birth rate of 12.9 per thousand population. This rate is 0.6 per thousand population lower than in 2016.
The report also gives the total period fertility rate (TPFR), which represents the average number of children a woman is expected have. A value of 2.1 is generally considered to be the level at which the population would replace itself in the long run, ignoring migration. “In 2017 the TPFR for Ireland was 1.8, which is below replacement level.” LifeNews

PP Doing Abortions on 12-Year-Olds, Not Reporting Sexual Abuse
The Planned Parenthood abortion chain has been caught repeatedly performing abortions on abuse victims as young as 12 and 13 years old, failing to report suspected sexual abuse to authorities, and sending victims back to their abusers. A new investigative report report chronicles these cases and reveals Planned Parenthood’s decades-long pattern of helping child sex abusers cover up their crimes. LifeNews

Atheist, World Renown Physicist, Population Control and
Euthanasia Activist, Dr. Stephen Hawking Passes Away.
Although diagnosed with motor neurone disease as a young man, he went on to become one of the most influential scientists of his generation for his work exploring the mysteries of space, time and black holes. He felt someone with a disability "should have the right to end his life, if he wants,” he told People’s Daily Online in 2006. “But I think it would be a great mistake. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.” Hawking will be remembered as a brilliant mind and an inspirational example of what people with disabilities can achieve.

What is Human Trafficking?
A $32 billion annual industry, modern day trafficking is a type of slavery that involves the transport or trade of people for the purpose of work. According to the U.N., about 2.5 million people around the world are ensnared in the web of human trafficking at any given time.
Human trafficking impacts people of all backgrounds, and people are trafficked for a variety of purposes. Men are often trafficked into hard labor jobs, while children are trafficked into labor positions in textile, agriculture and fishing industries. Women and girls are typically trafficked into the commercial sex industry, i.e. prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation.
If you suspect an incident of sex trafficking in the United States, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center’s 24-hour toll-free hotline number at 888-3737-888. Callers can receive a number of services including crisis intervention, urgent and non-urgent referrals, tip reporting and comprehensive anti-trafficking resources.

Price Tag of Ohio’s Opioid Epidemic: Up to $8.8 Billion a Year
A new study of the state’s opioid epidemic by Ohio State University researchers shows a staggering economic toll of $6.6 billion to $8.8 billion a year — about the same amount the state spends annually on K-12 education.
And though treatment needs have skyrocketed, the state has not responded: It has the capacity to treat only 20 percent to 40 percent of the 92,000 to 170,000 Ohioans abusing or addicted to opioids. The shortage is especially acute in rural areas hit hardest by the drug crisis. . . .
Ohio is among the nation’s leaders in opioid-related overdose deaths, with a record 4,050 fatalities in 2016, a 33 percent increase from 2015. Dispatch

Nobody Has More in Common with White Supremacists than Abortion Industry
Ryan Bomberger, who was adopted into a multiracial family and went on to found The Radiance Foundation, points out the hypocrisy in Planned Parenthood’s attempt to climb on the anti-racism bandwagon. “Planned Parenthood demanding an ‘end to white supremacy’ is like Penthouse calling for an end to pornography,” he told me. “Planned Parenthood's umbilical cord is still attached to the mother who birthed the nation's billion-dollar abortion chain. They daily celebrate Margaret Sanger, whose brand of racist eugenics (despite her duplicitous public denunciations of abortion) would transform Planned Parenthood into the leading killer of black lives. It's all so mind-numbingly insane that an organization that has never changed its racist DNA is trying to position itself as a champion of racial justice.”
Oregon Bill Legalizes Starving Dementia Patients
Oregon law mandates that healthcare providers give food and water to all conscious patients, who can receive it naturally such as by spoon feeding. SB 494, which is currently in the Senate Judiciary Committee, would remove this mandate for patients suffering from dementia and other mental illnesses. It does so by removing current safeguards that prohibit surrogates from withholding ordinary food and water from conscious patients with conditions that don’t allow them to make decisions about their own care. . . .
SB 494 would remove this safeguard and allow for the starvation and dehydration of such patients at the request of a legal guardian or by third parties if guardianship was lacking. The law would also appoint a committee of unelected officials and give them the power to make future changes to advanced medical directives without oversight or approval by the Oregon Legislature. Many fear this provision would result in a rapid erosion of patients' rights under the strong lobby of insurance companies.
Oregon already allows IVs and feeding tubes to be withdrawn from otherwise viable patients at the request of guardians and third parties. This causes horrible death by dehydration over a matter of days. SB 494 would extend that gruesome prerogative to include cases of "spoon feeding" of conscious patients, who are mentally incompetent.

Pro-Abortion Writer Admits Life Begins Before Birth
Pro-abortion author Katie Roiphe admits that abortion kills a life, and people know it: "The idea that 'life begins at birth' is useful politically, but as many have pointed out, in the age of sonograms, of cloudy little hands and feet coming into focus at nine weeks, how many people actually believe it?
Our language betrays our desire. A cluster of cells that is wanted is a 'baby,' and one that is unwanted is a 'fetus.' One never hears excited parent-to-be referring to the 'fetus'; the leap of imagination from fetus to baby is so ordinary, so automatic, so universal that we cannot pretend, even in the realm of political expediency, that it is not so. We can't try to argue that some cluster of cells are not 'life' if we are, say, busy calling our own cluster of cells a baby . . ." NRTL

Intellectually Disabled Person Is Less Valuable than Animals
In his apologetics for infanticide, Princeton bioethicist Peter Singer has used a baby with Down syndrome as an example of a killable infant based on utilitarian measurements. (He actually supports infanticide because babies–whether disabled or not–are, in his view, not “persons.”)
To Singer, moral value primary comes from intellectual capacities, and that means that developmentally and cognitively disabled human beings (also, the unborn and infants) have less value than other human beings, and indeed, a lower worth than some animals.
Were society to ever adopt Singer’s bigoted anti-human exceptionalism views, it would mark the end of universal human rights, opening the door to tyrannical pogroms against the most weak and vulnerable – you know, the kind of people that the Singers of the world deem resource wasters.

Euthanasia Deception Documentary Warns
About the Dangers of Assisted Suicide
CBC News Winnipeg reporter, Marianne Klowak published an interview with Kevin Dunn the co-producer of the
Euthanasia Deception documentary. Dunn was in Winnipeg to attend two screenings of the documentary.
Klowak reports in her CBC News interview:
"Kevin Dunn went to Belgium, where assisted dying has been legal for 15 years. He wants Canadians to understand the full ramifications of what it means to say ‘yes’ to assisted dying.
“Although the numbers here may show the majority of people want this, I don’t honestly believe they understand the full ramifications of what they are agreeing to. The most disturbing take away for me from travelling to Belgium is that people are asking for euthanasia and assisted dying and getting it at the first diagnosis of cancer or a malignant disease.”
In the documentary, medical and legal experts say there were tough stringent rules when Belgium first introduced the law but years later, they say more people are asking for assisted death and obtaining it for non-terminal illnesses.
Dunn interviewed a university professor who said his mother was depressed, not terminally ill and was granted an assisted death without his knowledge.
A father, Dunn also interviewed, said he was asked by a stranger on the street why he didn’t opt for assisted death for his severely disabled daughter. Dunn pointed out people under the age of 18 can apply for assisted death in Belgium with the consent of their parents.
Klowak writes that Dunn is convinced that people have not received both sides of the assisted dying issue:
Dunn says while the media has done an adequate job in documenting stories about people who opt to end their life, he says more homework has to be done on what is happening in other countries that have legalized assisted dying.
“Because we have to learn by history, other countries who have gone this path, and what happens to the survivors who are left behind after these decisions are made? Family members who are suffering because they didn’t know about the decision. While one person’s pain has ended, it has been transplanted to another generation.” Suffering

Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (MOLST)
Legislation currently in the works as Ohio S. B. 165 is referred to as "MOLST", an acronym, for Medical Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment, is a Trojan horse Bill that would be more properly named Medical Orders for Life STOPPING Treatment. Just knowing that the formerly named Hemlock Society, a "right-to-die" group now deceptively named "End of Life Choices" is ramrodding the legislation, should leave no doubt that it is a bill that Christians must oppose. The Ohio Senate passed the bill this week by a vote of 30-3. The bill, now in House committee, awaits a vote. It will encourage medically vulnerable patients or their surrogates who are not required to have medical training to make critical care decisions Enshrining MOLST in law is a first step toward opening the door to where a "right to die" becomes a "duty to die."
