A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Canada’s intrepid pro-life blogger Pat Maloney has a horrifying little detail she’s uncovered:
I asked for, and received, abortion data for four Ontario regions: Hamilton, Ottawa, Peel and Toronto, for three years: 2019, 2020 and 2021. The data is for both hospitals and non-hospital settings. It is broken down by year within each city, and by abortion code.
While every abortion is a tragic reality, I am always struck by the particular evil of fetal reduction abortions (code P054). How does anyone even decide to do this? You have two children growing inside your womb, and you make the decision to kill one of them. How do you decide which child to kill? When the remaining alive child grows up, do you tell her that you killed her sister? Fetal reduction abortions:
There were 36 of these sibling abortions in Ottawa during these three years. There were 401 of these sibling abortions in Toronto during these three years.
Awful to consider.

Another horror story from Canada’s euthanasia regime, reported by the CBC (which, I might add, cheered legalization every step of the way): “Winnipeg woman who chose to die with medical assistance said struggle for home care help led to decision.”

From the National Post: “Canadian specialist urges MDs to ‘slow down’ in treating transgender patients after U.K. clinic closed.”

The next front in the “marriage” battle is opening up:
New York judge rules that polyamorous relationships should have the same legal protection as others. File this once again under: "Stuff they assured us would not happen but is, in fact, happening."https://t.co/y0vcObwCtU

From Fox News: “Los Angeles pastor John MacArthur publicly rebukes Gavin Newsom for ‘diabolical’ policies, invoking Jesus.” Newsom, incidentally, recently signed 13 abortion bills, making California one of the most liberal states in the country.

AOC is not, to put it kindly, overburdened with intelligence. In fact, she actually argues that abortion is part of a class struggle, with pro-lifers wanting to keep women in the workforce at the behest of big corporations. It is actually difficult to imagine a take that gets things more precisely wrong.
Pro lifers want women to be able to leave the workforce to give birth and care for their children.
AOC has no idea what she's talking about. https://t.co/cCQ66j6qL4

This is pretty heartbreaking, and highlights the growing problem despite some successful pushback:
The wave of teens seeking gender transition in the UK continues to grow. According to the most recent data released by #GIDS and its new referral service, after a COVID dip, referrals doubled 2021-22, for a total of 5,000+ referrals. Teen girls continue to dominate this trend. /1 pic.twitter.com/UHqkmyCwaV

In a news item that the Bee couldn’t have made up, the US Army’s first openly transgender officer—Major Jamie Lee Henry—has been arrested for giving secrets to the Russians.

Walsh has a good, blunt response to more pro-gender ideology propaganda:
(Thread) Just in time, the propagandists are out with a "study" which "proves" that we have to chop the breasts off of children in order to improve their quality of life. The problem is that it takes all of 5 seconds to see that this study is abject, shameless bullshit. https://t.co/JSi70TafCu

Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible? Here’s an archaeological discovery that may shed more light on what took place: “Study Suggests That A Tunguska Sized Explosion Destroyed A City 3,600 Years Ago.” Skeptics, of course, are skeptical.

More soon.
