AMA Considers Endorsing Killing Patients
in Assisted Suicide
Posted By: Harlowe, 11/7/2023 12:54:04 AM
The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

After Ohio voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, advocates on both sides of the issue are looking at how they can get support on 2024 ballots in at least a dozen states. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had protected abortion rights nationally, voters in all seven states that held a statewide vote have backed access. That includes Ohio, where voters Tuesday enshrined abortion access in the state constitution.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) says his state’s vote Tuesday to enshrine abortion rights “was a gut punch” for anti-abortion officials such as himself. [Snip] “We have to recognize how much voters mistrust us (meaning elected Republicans) on this issue,” he added. [Snip] We need people to see us as the pro-life party, not just the anti-abortion party.” [Snip] Vance, in his post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, wrote that giving up on the issue “is not an option.” “Instead, we need to understand why we lost this battle so we can win the war,” he wrote.
Ohio voters approved Issue 1 tonight after a monumental abortion battle in the Buckeye State. With 57 percent of the vote counted, Ohio voted 56% to 44% for Issue 1[Snip]The result was not surprising given how abortion advocates bought the vote. Also, Ohio voters also voted today on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana. That very likely increased turnout of liberal voters who were more likely to vote for abortion.[Snip]The out of state dark money and millions from leftists[Snip]allowed the pro-abortion side to dominate TV and online with blatantly false commercials that further angered liberal voters and drove them to the polls in higher numbers.

Ohioans vote Tuesday on Issue 1, a referendum question that would write abortion on demand through birth into the state constitution. Buckeyes: Don’t let pro-abortion advocates lie to you about the extremes of this amendment. This amendment legalizes abortion through birth for any reason. No restriction on abortion prior to birth would be constitutional in Ohio. [Snip] Not requiring doctors to be have admitting privileges in a local hospital. (Abortionists claim it’s “unnecessary” because, sure, a hospital will take in an emergency patient. But it’s also a dirty little secret that lots of abortionists have no local connections, but often travel to multiple places.)
‘Legalized murder’: Michigan House

Democrats vote to remove virtually all

LANSING, Michigan - Michigan Democrats continued their push to remove any limits on the intentional killing of preborn babies up until the moment of birth, with a late-night passage on Wednesday of House Bill 4949. The “Reproductive Health Act” legislation follows up on a vote last November to enshrine a “right” to abortion in the state constitution.[Snip]Although the legislation will allow for the unrestricted killing of preborn babies at any stage of the pregnancy, it did not go far enough for Planned Parenthood, which criticized the minimal restrictions still in place.

Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington is urging Virginia Catholics to vote early and understand the choices between “good and evil” they have in this year’s elections.[Snip]Abortion is one of the top issues in Virginia this year[Snip] It would only take a net gain of two Senate seats to establish a pro-life majority in the chamber because Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, who is pro-life, would hold a tiebreaking vote.[Snip]Planned Parenthood is spending over $1.5 million in this year’s elections in Virginia. The ACLU has already spent nearly $1 million attacking pro-life candidates.

CINCINNATI, OH - Just days ahead of a statewide vote on whether to enshrine abortion “rights” in the Ohio Constitution, vandalism is reportedly on the rise against Catholic churches in the Buckeye State. On November 7, Ohioans will vote on Issue 1, the proposed “Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment,” [Snip] According to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the amendment would go far beyond even the Roe v. Wade and block prohibitions on partial-birth and dismemberment abortions, allow abortionists to target disabled babies, and end parental consent requirements for abortion as well as minors’ contraception, sterilization, and “gender transition” decisions.
Every year, from mid-October to early December, millions of Medicare beneficiaries get the chance to pick a new health plan. With dozens to choose from and a blizzard of advertising, more seniors are going with the simplest, cheapest option: privately run plans known as Medicare Advantage.[Snip]Yet Medicare Advantage has drawbacks--notably, its exorbitant cost. Government reports show the program routinely overcharges taxpayers relative to original Medicare--to the tune of $27 billion this year alone--at a time when the system’s solvency is at risk.[Snip]How did Medicare Advantage become, as one study put it, a “money machine”? (Or, less charitably, a “great big rip-off”?)
More of this is needed. Today, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin (D) and Ohio Senator JD Vance (R) confronted each other in the upper chamber over DOJ nominees that Senator Vance refuses to advance with unanimous consent. Durbin was furious at the blocks JD Vance was putting in front of the Joe Biden nominees for U.S. Attorney and criticized Vance for campaigning on “law and order” while blocking those DOJ nominees advanced by Durbin. In response, Senator Vance delivered remarks promising to block every DOJ nomination as long as Joe Biden continues weaponizing Main Justice and the USAO nominations to target his political opposition.
COLUMBUS, OH - As radical abortion activists promote Issue 1, which would allow abortions up to birth, they have also been targeting churches that are opposing it. Catholic schools, churches and cemeteries across the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, for example, have posted in recent weeks that they have been victims of vandalism and attacks. Pro-abortion extremists have stolen, defaced or damages No on Issue 1 signs at pro-life business that are displaying them. And pro-life residents have experienced the same sorta of vandalism of their lawn signs on private residences.[Snip]The article provides a list of 313 worldwide attacks.
DAYTON, OH – On Wednesday, October 25th, Womens Med Dayton, Dayton’s remaining abortion facility, had another ambulance call to 911. The patient was a 33-year old female experiencing bleeding from a “complicated procedure.” This facility performs approximately 61 abortions every week in Montgomery County, according the 2022 annual Ohio Abortion Report.[Snip]“...Year after year, women are hospitalized and babies die at the hands of their abortionists.” “Clearly this is another reason to stop Issue 1. Women need these current protections in place, now more than ever. Why would we allow these facilities to operate without oversight? Ohioans need to protect women by voting NO on Issue 1.” says Christie.

Republicans across social media are calling on Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign following Tuesday evening’s elections, which saw a major GOP loss in Kentucky.
Republicans experienced a mixed night, as Democrats scored victories in Kentucky — reelecting Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear over Trump-backed candidate Daniel Cameron — as well as Virginia and Ohio. Democrats took control of the General Assembly in Virginia while pro-abortion activists won in Ohio, as Ohioans passed issue one, codifying the supposed “right” to murder an unborn child in the state constitution.
Hillary Rodham Clinton. The mere mention of the name conjures everything from love and adulation, in certain circles on the left, to justifiable disgust and condemnation among many on the right.This article illustrates both extremes.
Hillary trotted onto the set of "The View" — where else? — on Wednesday's episode and promptly proceeded to participate in a hyperbolic Donald Trump hatefest to beat the band. And what round of histrionic spewing between Hillary and "the ladies" would be complete without once again comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler?
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, several voting machines in multiple districts across Northampton County had to issue emergency paper ballots due to “votes getting flipped and not recording properly” on their voting machines.
Shortly after the error occurred Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure was clearly frustrated about the problems at the polls and told Lehigh Valley News “I’m livid at the election folks and ES&S.”
ES&S (Election Systems & Software) ExpressVoteXL machines were used in Northampton County elections.
The White House took pleasure in gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron’s (R) failed bid in Kentucky at the hands of incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear (D).
Reposting a comment from Cameron on X from November 4, White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates slammed Cameron for championing former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and ripping President Joe Biden’s so-called “Bidenomics.” “The closing message below – from a candidate who’s [sic] Twitter bio starts with ‘Trump-endorsed’ – crashed and burned,” he posted: ( X ) Other Democrats chimed in: ( X ) Cameron and Republican allies, including Trump, worked very hard in recent days to defeat Beshear by linking him to Biden.
President Joe Biden fundraised off the Democrat Party’s nearly flawless election day on Tuesday, using the victories in Ohio, Kentucky, and likely in Virginia to draw a contrast between “democracy” and “MAGA.”
The Republican potential losses in all three states highlight the GOP’s seeming inability to persuade voters of their arguments against late-term abortions.
In Ohio, the state passed an initiative to block bans on abortion by adding protections to the state constitution. In Virginia, Democrats appeared to retain power in the Senate. In Kentucky, incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear (D) trounced gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron (R).
“Across the country tonight, democracy won and MAGA lost,” Joe Biden’s X account posted.
Electric vehicles sure do seem safe and effective. Or am I mixing my propaganda? According to social media user Xian Ke, a Google-operated electric bus suffered a power loss on Monday morning while attempting to scale one of San Francisco’s many hills. The out-of-control bus then rolled down the hill and crashed into nine vehicles. Monday on X, formerly Twitter, Ke posted a 10-second clip of the crash’s aftermath.

Top congressional Democrats are reportedly circulating a letter to President Joe Biden encouraging him to “designate the Palestinian territories for Temporary Protected Status,” thus allowing “foreign nationals” from those areas to stay in the U.S.
The draft letter, obtained by The Daily Caller, is reportedly backed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). Reporter Henry Rodgers said that the push from congressional Democrats was a call to “open the flood gates for Palestinians to come into the U.S.”
In a not-so-surprising twist in the presiding judge’s life of the ongoing sham Trump trial in New York City, unhinged Judge Arthur Engoron has taken to an unconventional pastime—posting half-naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees.
Research group Marco Polo first reported this revelation.
Engoron, a Wheatley alumnus from 1967, is responsible for curating the Wheatley Alumni Association Newsletter, which updates and connects past graduates with memories, news, and obituaries.
According to a post on Marco Polo’s X account,
Can someone explain to the rest of us why the leaders of Hamas, the world's evilest terrorist organization which has just murdered 1,400 innocent people, are actual billionaires living their best lives in Qatar?
According to the New York Post:
While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.
The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar.
The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas
State Senator John Whitmire and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee ranked as the top two candidates in Houston's mayoral election, with Whitmire ahead by about 8% as of Tuesday night. Since neither cleared the threshold of 50% of the votes cast plus one, the contest will now go to a second round. The runoff election is scheduled for Saturday, December 9.
Whitmire and Jackson Lee both stood out in a crowded field for their high levels of name recognition, decades of public service, and in Whitmire's case, a prodigious campaign war chest that enabled him to blanket the airwaves with commercials. Whitmire was first elected to the Texas House
A suspected migrant smuggler and seven others are dead after a collision in rural Texas.
The incident occurred on US Highway 57 near the farming community of Batesville, and left two innocent Americans dead, local authorities said.
The early-morning crash happened some 50 miles from the border around 8am local time, and state officials later revealed the pair hailed from Georgia. Both were in the front seat of an SUV struck by the suspected smuggler's vehicle.That car, cops said, had been evading arrest from the Zavala County Sherriff's Office just before the crash - which happened as it attempted to pass an 18-wheeler in a no-passing zone.

“Today” pro-choice advocates are determined to enshrine “one’s own reproductive decisions” in state constitutions throughout the country with Ohio and Virginia casting votes on abortion rights tomorrow, November 7, 2023. What’s next? Might the AMA debate on reversing its stance on assisted suicide be a prelude of what “tomorrow’s” agenda may be for pro-choice advocates of euthanasia? The AMA resolutions to be considered suggest “medical aid in dying” is “a matter of personal autonomy, the “right to self-determination.” The Catholic Medical Association’s Health Care Policy Committee Chairman is calling on Catholics (especially medical professionals) to oppose the amendments.
