Culture of Death

Culture of Death – This Week’s News

The Culture of Death is an apt characterization of our world. And as Christians, we are called to resist and speak out against every attempt to undermine the sanctity of life.

That’s why every week I share articles, essays, and posts from around the internet of interest to those who care about the value of human life from conception to natural death.

This weekly post will inform the reader on a variety of bioethics issues, including abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide & euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, genetic engineering, biotechnology, and more facets of the culture of death.

Joe Biden Will Kill Conscience Protections for Pro-Life Doctors and Nurses

Our progressive administration, loyal to the culture of death, wants to force medical practitioners to take part in abortions and assisted suicides regardless of their consciences and religious beliefs.

Pro-abortion President Biden is not going to allow his personal job approval rating—now at a feeble 33%—to get in the way of his ongoing service to the Abortion Industry. And that most assuredly includes “scrapping” the most personal protection—the right of conscience–for healthcare workers.

With Abortions Up to Birth and Infanticide, We Need to Pray for Revival in America

As abortion activists intensify their efforts to kill the unborn and newly born, our nation drifts further away from biblical morality. The author of this post begins by comparing the U.S.A. pro-choicers with Baal worshippers.

Have you ever heard of Baal worship? It’s mentioned several times in the Bible, and it’s never a good thing. In biblical times, people worshiping Baal sacrificed their newborn children by throwing them on burning altars.

Disability Rights Group Opposes Expanding California’s Assisted Suicide Law to Permit Euthanasia for People with Disabilities

California may teeter on the slippery slope that always appears once assisted suicide is legal.

In a pending legal case, Shavelson v. California Department of Health Care Services, a terminally ill plaintiff contends the self-administration requirement of California’s End of Life Options Act (ELOA) violates existing anti-discrimination laws on the basis of disability. While the plaintiff is eligible for physician assisted suicide and has the ability to self-administer lethal medication at present, they’d prefer to utilize the option later in the dying process, when self-administration is no longer possible.

The lawsuit seeks to pressure California into eliminating the state’s most essential safeguard. And, in doing do, sanction a dangerous practice not allowed in any of the state’s where assisted suicide is legal.

Winnipeg Church Hosts (MAiD) Euthanasia Death

We’ve all attended funerals in our churches. Now, at least in once Canadian church you can witness a death. And the pastor is proud of it!

I wonder why they didn’t have the funeral immediately after killing the woman.

An article by Jesse T. Jackson that was published by the publication, Church Leaders on April 18 explains that Churchill Park United Church in Winnipeg Manitoba hosted the euthanasia death of Betty Sanguin (86) on March 9, 2022.

Sanguin, who was living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) died by lethal injection in the sanctuary of the Church.

Twitter Censors Image of Full-Term Aborted Baby Possibly Killed in Infanticide

Pro-abortion big tech steps up to hide the truth of infanticide.

Very late-term abortions are taking place in the nation’s capital where five full-term aborted babies are at the center of a national controversy because they were possibly killed in illegal partial-birth abortions or infanticide. But Twitter doesn’t want anyone to see the truth.

Pro-Lifers Aren’t ‘Imposing Their Religious Views,’

It’s a common but inaccurate accusation hurled at pro-life advocates: “You Christians are trying to impose your religious beliefs on us.”

This essay explains why this isn’t the case.

In a recent Washington Post op-ed, Jewish abortion activist Shira M. Zemel argues that abortion opponents are “seeking to impose their religious views on all of us” and “to encode their theology into the laws of our nation.”

Even as she derides pro-lifers for praying outside of an abortion business in Falls Church, VA. Zemel notes that the First Amendment protects their right to demonstrate and her religious freedom to practice Judaism. This much is certainly true.

Where Zemel goes wrong is when she insinuates that access it protect to abortion by the First Amendment’s religion clauses. Suggesting that because her religious worldview licenses abortion, it is therefore a matter of religious freedom that she be permitted to access it. She doesn’t bother to explain or defend this argument in detail, but merely hints at it in passing.

More troubling is how Zemel indulges in a favorite lazy slander of abortion supporters, claiming throughout that the Christianity of some pro-lifers means that opposing abortion is an effort to “impose religious views” on the nation.

The New Wave of Pro-Life Legislation

Here is some good news. Anticipating the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, several states moving ahead with pro-life legislation.

In the last seven days, an impressive number of Republican states have raced to send pro-life legislation over the finish line. Of course, the backdrop to these gains is the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Mississippi’s abortion law (expected in June) that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade. Thanks to the bold leaders in Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida, and Kentucky, we’re witnessing a cultural shift that will have generational impact—regardless of what the justices decide.

A Post-Roe Legislative Agenda for Congress

This article looks forward to necessary Congressional action when Roe v. Wade is gone.

If the Supreme Court finally overrules Roe v. Wade this summer, Congress will no longer be able to blame the Supreme Court for its inability to act to protect human life in the womb. There will be more pressure than ever on pro-life legislators to take courageous action to support expectant mothers and to protect human life in the womb. What should that post-Roe legislative agenda look like?

 Stay strong in your opposition to the culture of death. Support life from conception to natural death.

11 Rescue those being led away to death hold back those staggering toward slaughter. 12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done? (Proverbs 24:11–12 ESV)
