Is the Answer to the Housing Crisis Assisted Suicide?

October 21, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Like most of what the government tries to do, the goal is never what you see on the surface. The patina is meant to suggest compassion, but at the end of the day, the government’s role has become a question of how it survives on a dwindling resource (you or your labor). It robs you … Read more

MacDonald: Slippery Slope: Canada Kills 15,000* in 2023 as Disabled ‘Fight’ for Their Lives

July 14, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Canada wasn’t the first, but they’ve become something of a poster child for Medically induced death. Euphemistically referred to as medical aid in dying (unless it’s capital punishment), rising numbers of Canadians are being lined up at the assisted suicide death mills for discorporation. It is true that some will or are members of the … Read more

Abortion To Medically Assisted Suicide, Where Will It End

May 30, 2024 Ray Cardello

Just because other countries do something does not mean we must adopt it, too. America used to pride itself on being the innovator, setting the trends for others to follow. Not any longer.

ICYMI – NH’s Assisted Suicide Bill Has Been Benched: 17-7 Vote to Send it To Interim Study

May 19, 2024 Steve MacDonald

In case you missed it, the New Hampshire assisted suicide bill got benched this week. The New Hampshire State Senate, in a rare roll call vote, voted to send the bill to an Interim study. They didn’t kill the bill, but by suggesting it needs a deeper, longer look, they sidelined it indefinitely.

From Live Free or Die to Come Here and Die

November 12, 2024May 9, 2024 Hal Shurtleff

First, the so-called elites promoted Eugenics, which led to forced sterilization laws. Then it was abortion, first decriminalized in California and New York, and then decriminalized by the now overturned Roe v Wade decision.

Help Stop State-Sanctioned Suicide

April 23, 2024 Op-Ed

Night Cap: Assisted Suicide Will Start Out Well-Meaning, Then Gradually Revert To its Eugenic Roots

April 22, 2024 Steve MacDonald

There is ample evidence throughout history, much of it recent, that claiming compassion to justify government-sanctioned suicide is a trap. Yes, chronic pain is terrible, but not nearly so much as the power of a State that inevitably sees it as a way to solve problems it created or just “problems.”

Oppose HB1283 – The So-Called “End of Life Options” Bill

December 24, 2024April 22, 2024 Lori Safford

As the mother and primary caregiver for two adult sons with significant disability, the legally responsible daughter for my 87-yo mom suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s, and the widow to my husband, who lost his battle with pulmonary disease back in 2012, I’d like to give my perspective on HB 1283 Assisted Suicide.

March 26, 2024March 26, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Oregon allows anyone from anywhere to obtain medically assisted death (with dignity) in the Beaver State, but it doesn’t always go as advertised, as in, ‘gee beave, I didn’t think it was gonna take that long to die.’

The New Hampshire House passed HB1283, also known as Assisted Suicide or Medical Aid in Dying, by a 179-176 vote this afternoon[0].

Before You Put NH on the Assisted Suicide Slippery Slope (HB1283), Please Read This!

March 19, 2024March 19, 2024 Steve MacDonald

States that open the door to medically assisted dying on the argument that it is compassionate are being used to leverage empathy for the terminally ill to advance a completely different agenda.

Slippery Meet Slope – Doctors Recommend Assisted Suicide to Woman Paralyzed by COVID Jab

February 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I’ve been writing about the government-assisted suicide slippery slope for a while, so seeing this particular aspect of my predictions for the practice is not surprising. It is, however, still alarming, or it should be.

Slippery Meet Slope: Colorado Assisted Suicide Bill Drops Wait Time To 48 Hours

February 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Medically Assisted Dying, which used to be a war crime and opposed by the American left as a form of Capitol Punishment, is the Depopulation Prog’s new Hot Ticket. With too many of the wrong sort of people on the planet, why not normalize suicide and then give them a reason to want to kill themselves?

Some In NH Think Suicide Is Another Issue For Government Intervention

February 12, 2024February 7, 2024 Ray Cardello

Why is it that Democrats put such a low value on human life? Whether writing laws that allow the killing of an unborn fetus up to the moment of birth or now, pushing for the legalization of state-assisted suicides, the authors and co-sponsors of these bills are showing zero regard for life.

We The Dying Should Decide, Not The Government

January 31, 2024January 31, 2024 Op-Ed

Contrary to several detractors, our “Live Free; Die Free” act (House Bill 1283) does not “legalize physician-assisted suicide”: it, in effect, simply removes a current law that prevents the dying from buying medicine that they want.

Assisted Suicide Legislation Takes New Hampshire In The Wrong Direction

January 29, 2024 Op-Ed

Today, the Granite State finds itself at a crossroads with the introduction of House Bill 1283, new legislation that seeks to legalize physician-assisted suicide (PAS). The bill effectively gives physicians permission to prescribe drugs that result in patient suicide.

Slippery Meet Slope: Cuba Embraces Assisted Suicide as If They Didn’t Already Have It

December 31, 2023December 30, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The Cuban dictatorship was built and sustained on planned executions, so this recent move by its National Assembly to legalize “dignified death” seems a bit belated. I guess, like Western Elites, they needed Political murder to feel like a kindness.

NH’s “Assisted Suicide” Bill is Alive. ALIVE!

December 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In early October, we alerted you to a service request from a New Hampshire legislator for a proposed Assisted suicide bill. Marjorie Smith was fishing for co-sponsors for her “ACT relative to end-of-life options,” and she found some.

Slippery Meet Slope: Wait Six Months to Get Health Care or … They Can Help You ‘Kill Yourself’ Next Week!

December 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

I think we’ve more than made the case that a government that wants you dead will deliberately advance policies that make you want to kill yourself. Like a public health apparatus that makes you wait over six months for ‘care,’ but can fast-track your “assisted” suicide.

College of Physicians Reccomends MAiD for Children Up to a Year Old

October 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

My apologies for revisiting this topic so soon, but this was impossible to pass—the grotesque institutionalization of post-birth abortion as a kindness. Ethicists have long proposed letting parents end their young children, but ‘experts’ are asking permission to call it assisted suicide.
