PCHETA, THE SENATE’S DEADLY PALLIATIVE CARE BILL, IS BACK ON THE TABLE: (Personhood Alliance) – “Palliative care, while touted as improving the quality of life for people with serious illness, has become dangerous—and deadly. Too many people are abused or “helped” to die, instead of being cared for so they might live well in the time they have left. Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin recently reintroduced the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee. This version of the bill, S. 4260, is nearly identical to last session’s S. 2080. On Tuesday, September 18th, the pro-euthanasia group Hospice Action Network called for phone calls and emails to U.S. Senators, asking them to support PCHETA. They see the bill for what it is—a step further down the path of legalized “aid” in dying, a goal they wish to pursue. Please consider calling or emailing your U.S. senators to voice your opposition to PCHETA. Ask them to oppose the bill. Let them know that it is not pro-life, and it is not good medical care.” Read the full story here. Contact U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson HERE.

MARK HOUCK’S WIFE DESCRIBES THE ‘DEVASTATING’ FBI ARREST OF HER HUSBAND TO TUCKER CARLSON: (LifeSiteNews) – “Ryan-Marie Houck, the Catholic homeschooling mother of seven and wife of the pro-life leader who was arrested by the FBI in a dramatic raid on Friday, spoke about the ‘devastating’ experience to Fox News titan Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, telling him the incident ‘traumatized’ her young family.” View the interview here.

DOCTOR CONFIRMS LEGALIZING ABORTION DOES NOT REDUCE MATERNAL MORTALITY: (LifeNews.com) – “A prominent OB-GYN refuted claims that legalizing abortion helps reduce maternal mortality rates during testimony Thursday before a U.S. House committee. Dr. Monique Chireau Wubbenhorst, a former U.S. Agency for International Development official and professor at Duke University School of Medicine, told lawmakers that some studies show the opposite to be true. Her testimony contradicted the core focus of the Democrat-led hearing, 'Examining the Harm to Patients from Abortion Restrictions and the Threat of a National Abortion Ban' in the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee. Asked if abortion is necessary to reduce maternal mortality rates, Wubbenhorst said no.” Read the full story here.
