A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Canada’s intrepid pro-life blogger Pat Maloney has an update on abortion in Canada:
Notice that the horrific fetal reduction abortions are on the increase (126 in 2020-2021 compared to 170 + in 2021-2022). When there are multiple fetuses, one of more of them are aborted. The child who is born will find out one day that their sisters or brothers never made it into this world.
Pro-lifers—and those with a minimal moral compass—were horrified recently when a mother in Quebec decided to abort a healthy baby at 38 weeks. Maloney points out that late-term abortions are not as rare as we would hope:
Canada does send women to the US for abortions
the very late term abortion in Montreal was not a first for Canada
every year there are many late-term abortions done in Canada
and please note that all these abortions detailed below result in a live child who is left to die, they also just happen to be late-term abortions
If you doubt this, take a look at the evidence. Hundreds of babies are murdered every day in Canada. Some of them are old enough to survive outside the womb.

New data from Angus Reid shows that Canadian women are having fewer children than they say they want. Andrea Mrozek explains why this is.
Why are progressives taking over everything? Why do conservatives seem so incapable of wielding influence in business and academia? This brilliant essay from Ed West on the great “conexit” from public life lays out a really good explanation.

Despite their one year delay, the Trudeau government is determined to expand assisted suicide to those suffering exclusively from mental illness (the justice minister confirmed this in a recent CBC interview). A majority of Canadians oppose it. If this regime is not halted, we are going to see an unbelievable number of horror stories unfold in the coming years.
