Most Americans don’t accept same-sex couples raising kids (& other stories)

A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

From Pat Maloney at Run With Life: “NAF Canada gets $1.5 million to improve killing skills of abortion doctors.” This is what our tax dollars fund—organizations committed to extinguishing human life.

The American Medical Association is—once again—debating assisted suicide. Currently, their position is as follows:

Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control, and would pose serious societal risks. Instead of engaging in assisted suicide, physicians must aggressively respond to the needs of patients at the end of life.

The reason this is being debated again is because activists will not stop until they change the organization–after that, the debate will immediately be declared “closed.”

From The European Conservative, on Harvard academic Claudia Goldin being awarded the Nobel Prize: “Nobel Prize Rewards Marxist Feminism.”

***

Aaron Renn on an unfolding social tragedy that often gets ignored: “Facing Reality on Single Parenthood.”

From Reduxx, another example of the LGBT movement self-destructing: “Australian Human Rights Commission Decision Prohibits Female-Only Events For Lesbians.”

***

From True North: “BC teacher reprimanded for playing short film with sex, suicide scenes to Grade 2 and 3 class.” Funny how this seems to just keep happening, huh?

From the Daily Mail: “Mobile phones are to be banned in schools as education secretary Gillian Keegan is set to announce a dramatic intervention – to the relief of millions of parents and teachers.” Every country—and family—should follow suit. We should treat smartphones like cars—for adults only.

Al Mohler has an analysis on what’s going on at Andy Stanley’s church—the latest to cave on the LGBT issue. As Carl Trueman has noted, this is an issue that every church is going to face over the next decade.

From the Guardian: “Full-time children: the twentysomethings who may never grow up.” A growing trend.

Jack Phillips, the baker who won at the Supreme Court after LGBT activists sued who for refusing to create a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, is still being persecuted: “Colorado Supreme Court to hear case against Christian baker who refused to make LGBTQ-themed cake.” The process, as they say, is the punishment. They want to make an example of him.

At The American Conservative, Peter Hitchens has a beautiful reflection on The Common Book of Prayer: “The Once and Future Prayer Book.”

***

After butchering tens of millions of babies through the One Child Policy and maiming millions of women through forced sterilizations, China is facing a predictable demographic crisis: “China to hold nationwide survey on population changes as birthrate plummets.”

***

Year by year, we advance ever further into the post-Christian age: “Meet the ‘nones’: An ever increasing group across Europe with little to no religious affiliation.”

***

From the Washington Blade: “Most Americans Don’t Consider Same-Sex Couples Raising Kids ‘Completely Acceptable’: Pew Poll.”
