DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Ending child trafficking with the Gospel

This year, ZOE International celebrates 20 years of rescuing children from the horrors of human trafficking through sharing the Gospel. ZOE founders Michael and Carol Hart unapologetically lead with their faith in God as the only Source who can truly change lives for the better. Michael says, “Some people comment that it is ridiculous to say that the Gospel is the answer to stopping human trafficking. From our experience, we know when it is narrowed down to the hurting person in front of us – they need to know Jesus.”

Assisted suicide for anorexia nervosa

The American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying (ACAMAID) "Ethics Consultation Service" decided that it is ethical to assist the suicide of a person with anorexia nervosa. According to the case report, a female patient with anorexia nervosa requested aid in dying from her palliative care physician, and her request was granted. This is not care, but medical abandonment. Her physician and psychiatrist had given up on her, and her family supported her dying by lethal drugs.

New Canadian law denies some people exist

Canada has just adopted a new ban on so-called “conversion therapy” that criminalizes any “practice, treatment, or service” designed to change, repress, or reduce a person’s same-sex attraction or transgender identity. It even prohibits counseling for adults who want to de-transition — and offering that service is punishable by up to five years in prison. In effect, Canada is denying that people who detransition or who legitimately want help reconciling themselves with their biological sex even exist.

Personhood on the ground

National Sanctity of Human Life Day
January 22, 2022

National Sanctity of Human Life Day is an annual observance on January 22, first proclaimed by President Reagan on the 11th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. On this day, we raise our voices not only against abortion, but against the many onslaughts that violate human personhood — human trafficking, euthanasia, unethical medical research and practice, gender confusion, and attacks on the family. It is an opportunity to bring awareness of these issues in our communities and to reaffirm our commitment to protecting and saving human lives, born and pre-born.
