A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Alleged Catholic Stephen Colbert once again punched down by mocking a Muslim dad concerned about pornographic books in school libraries. Apparently not wanting your kids to be exposed to porn makes you an object of mockery on late night TV.

This is a great example of how to defend Christian premises in the public square:
Phenomenal conversation between @mattwalshblog and @joerogan on marriage. So encouraging to see a prominent conservative not squish on the fundamental political institution, and equally encouraging to see the biggest podcaster in the world take the issue seriously. pic.twitter.com/5qwmpu7buS
If I’ve said this once, I’ve said it a thousand times: euthanasia regimes always expand. Once people have the “right to die,” that right is constantly expanded. Canada is Exhibit A. Here is Exhibit B:
Assisted dying law in New Zealand should be relaxed to remove a requirement that a patient has only six months to live, the law’s architect says. Act Party leader David Seymour said that a year after coming into force, the End of Life Choice Act was working well and that opponents of the law change had “melted away”.
“The figures overwhelmingly show a law that is working. People can and do get through the process to become eligible for assisted dying, some change their mind, some are assessed as not eligible. That is what we’d expect if the law was working.” Voluntary euthanasia was legalised exactly a year ago, and so far 214 patients have an assisted death. In all, 596 people have applied and 294 people have been deemed eligible.
They know where this is headed, right? They do. And they’ll do it anyway.

One thought on “Stephen Colbert mocks dad who wants to protect his kids from porn (and other stories)”
Navi says:
“Canadian doctors encouraged to bring up medically assisted death before their patients do.”
Already the case with birth defects and abortion. Such cases need to have « termination of pregnancy discussed » on the patient’s chart lest the doctor face a wrongful birth lawsuit. Most women take the hint.
