Teen Brings Adoptive Mom to Tears:
"You're the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me"
Four years ago, Sarah Cozad and Stuart Shank got married and became licensed foster parents. Because they were in their early twenties, they thought they would foster babies and toddlers. However, after meeting the 10-year-old brother of their foster child, Michael, they fell in love with him. On his adoption day, Dayshawn told the judge, “They’re just really the best thing that ever happened to me. If I could wish for anything in the world, I just wish that I could just love these people for the rest of my life.” Live Action

911 Records Reveal Patient Hemorrhaged after Abortion at Preterm
New 911 records have been obtained related to a medical emergency that took place at Preterm, an abortion facility in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 5, 2018 . . .The recording of the 911 call revealed that the patient was a 39-year old woman who had just completed her abortion that was bleeding heavily. Preterm staff required emergency assistance to control the bleeding. The woman was transported to an unknown hospital for treatment that the abortion facility could not provide.
Preterm has caused women to suffer nearly 20 abortion-related medical emergencies in the past few years, including the death of 23-year old Lakisha Wilson in 2014. All surgical rooms are located on the third floor of Preterm’s facility that can be accessed by a small elevator that frequently malfunctions. It is also too small to accommodate a gurney with a patient in the supine position. This has delayed potentially life-saving medical care to several patients, including Wilson. Patient

FDA Purchases Aborted Baby Parts to Transplant Their Brain Tissue into Mice
The Center for Medical Progress expose’ of the Planned Parenthood abortion business contained new revelations that some aborted baby remains sold by Planned Parenthood go to biotech companies for the purpose of creating “humanized” mice. The contractor, the notice said, would “provide the human fetal tissue needed to continue the ongoing research being led by FDA. Because it would not be able to create its “humanized mice” without fresh tissue taken from aborted babies, the FDA also has an interest in the continuation of legalized abortions at a stage in fetal development when the tissue needed to create these mice can be retrieved from the aborted baby.

Belgium Euthanizes Three Children Aged 17, 11, and 9 Years-Old
Three minors have been euthanized in Belgium since euthanasia for children was legalized in 2014. According to the latest report from the government agency (PDF in French) which tracks euthanasia deaths, the children were 9, 11 and 17 years old. Two died in 2016 and 1 last year. Under the existing law, their request for death has to be voluntary and well-considered and the patient must be suffering unbearably, with no prospect of improvement.

Obama Administration Witheld Taxpayer Funds to Pro-Life Nations to Force The to Promote Abortion
Contrary to the narrative of the mainstream media, America has some of the most permissive abortion laws in the world. The United States is one of only seven countries that allows elective abortions past 20 weeks -- a fact confirmed by the Washington Post fact checker.
Many nations still recognize that unborn babies deserve a right to life, at least in most circumstances. But increasingly, pro-life nations are being pressured by European and U.S. politicians and American billionaires to legalize the killing of unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth. In May, Ireland, once a strongly pro-life nation, caved into this pressure and voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment of its Constitution, which protects unborn babies’ right to life. LifeNews

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

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."
