As Canada’s new law permitting euthanasia goes into effect, the pro-life prisoner of conscience Mary Wagner–in the maximum security prison for women for counseling mothers not to get an abortion–has written a public letter. She warns against pro-lifers seeking conscience clauses and other ways to protect themselves against the law, as opposed to standing up against its evil at any cost. She says that times like these are occasions to “bear witness to Christ.”
On Feb. 6, 2015 the Supreme Court of Canada legalized doctor-assisted suicide, but delayed the implementation for one year. Their gruesome decision bears its wicked fruit next Saturday Feb. 6. People with grievous and irremediable medical conditions (in theory) will be able to ask their doctor to help them die. There’s no guarantee that perfectly healthy people suffering from depression will not be able to enjoy the same deadly “succor.”
