Personhood Alliance Education: Euthanasia in Canada, Dobbs, and abortion

 

Foundations newsletter August 11, 2022 Foundations is a semi-monthly online publication of Personhood Alliance Education that informs and equips Christians on issues of life for the 21st century. Personhood in the news Canada's 10,000 euthanasia deaths in 2021 Canada's third annual MAiD report was barely talked about in the media, but the figures were startling. In 2021, there were 10,064 MAiD deaths, representing 3.3% of all deaths in Canada; an increase of 32.4% over 2020. Total MAiD deaths since legalized euthanasia in 2016 was 31,664. Heartbreakingly, nearly one in five died because they were lonely. In 35.7% of cases, patients believed that they were a "burden on family, friends, or caregivers."  read more >> Dobbs: Should the right to life be political? In the wake of Dobbs, how should we view a constitutional decision that is decidedly neutral on the personhood and right to life of the pre-born child? Should we be satisfied with a Supreme Court standard that allows the fundamental right to life to be determined by the mother’s state of residence? How can a nation survive united when fundamental moral questions depend upon which side of a state border one finds themselves? read more >> The house legalized abortion built Legalized abortion normalized promiscuity, promoted fatherlessness, and secured a view of children so bereft of humanity that we won't even call them children anymore. It put more pressure on women to have sex without commitment and less pressure on men to commit. This is the house abortion built. It led us to see children as things—even burdens—instead of image bearers of God. But lies never have the power to change God's design.  read more >> Personhood on the ground The Family and Personhood Just like an object of art—composed of color, line, texture, shape, and form—humans are designed with elements that are essential to our nature. And each of these elements is under God’s authority—life, marriage, sexuality, and gender. We find His perfect design in Genesis 1:27-28, also known as the Doctrine of Imago Dei (which is Latin for image of God). What we are witnessing everywhere today is a direct attack on these design elements and their central structure: The family. Any attempt to separate, twist, or alter any of these design elements is an attempt to usurp God’s authority. This is nothing less than intentional corruption of the very nature of God’s wholistic design for the human person; the stripping away of meaning, function, and purpose. The chaos and brokenness in our culture today is not because God’s design is flawed, but because we are actively rebelling against it.  Learn more The Personhood Alliance is on Gab and MeWe.
