A roundup of news and interviews from around the interwebs.

Pat Maloney, Canada’s most intrepid pro-life blogger, reveals that a 19-year-old young woman died of septic shock after taking the abortion pill—naturally, without a peep from the press. If someone dies of an illegal abortion, the tragedy is used to facilitate a regime premised on the idea that tragedy is necessary. If someone dies of a legal abortion, it is ignored.

Townhall has been running a gut-wrenching investigative series about a pedophile ring run by an affluent LGBT activist gay couple who abused their adopted sons, whom they adopted from a Christian special-needs adoption agency, filmed child pornography of the abuse, and pimped them out to other pedophiles in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. This is a story, again, that is being ignored because of some inconvenient truths. These motherless children were procured by these men, and their lives have been destroyed.

Canada’s medical institutions have become a conveyer belt for funnelling children into “gender transition.” From The Post-Millennial: “Toronto’s top children’s hospital rejects mental health treatment for gender dysphoric minors.”

Imagine if this sort of thing was put out by anybody but a trans activist? Transgender Programmer Designs Game About Slaughtering Women Critical of Gender Ideology. The double standard here is obvious, but should be noted—kind of like social media’s new standard in which you cannot show bare breasts (good) unless your are transgender or non-binary (what?).

Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who won an important victory for religious liberty at the US Supreme Court, is still being persecuted by LGBT activists, who demanded that he make a cake celebrating a sex change immediately following his win. He has just lost his appeal, and after years of legal battles, will be forced to fight on. For those interested in a review summary of Jack’s story, I wrote a profile on him when his 2021 memoir came out (after spending some time talking to him).

It is very possible that, when the history of global geopolitics is written a half-century hence, that it will be the heinous policy of forced abortion that held Communist China back from global dominance. From Live Action News: “As China faces plummeting population, many young adults refuse to have children.”

An important thread by my friend Charlie Camosy here:
The prospect of this happening to Minnesota too, plus the clear energy surrounding the March for Life around the country, has helped form a thought I've had brewing for some time now: the current overreach of pro-abortion (not pro-choice) activists will backfire. Badly. Thread. https://t.co/03EBGcKXjQ

Very impressive: 20,000 people turned out for the March for Life in Paris, France.

Try to read this headline without horror: “Canada performing more organ transplants from MAID donors than any country in the world.” We said this would happen. It’s happening. The government doesn’t care.

The cultural revolution must encompass absolutely everything—and if you disagree with the transgender movement, you must be unpersoned. This is a particularly egregious example of that: “An artist is stripping JK Rowling’s name off Harry Potter books and reselling them to fans who oppose the author’s vocal anti-trans rhetoric. A legal expert says it’s not copyright infringement.”

More soon.
