Let Us Pray

In June 2016, the Parliament of Canada passed federal legislation called “MAID,” which stands for Medical Assistance in Dying. This legislation legalized physician-assisted suicide, or what is sometimes referred to as euthanasia, death with dignity, or mercy killing.

The culture of death attempts to couch the practice of ending one’s life in a medical context. The reality though, is this law made it legal for medical professionals to help people commit suicide by justifying it as a medical practice. Since the legalization of euthanasia in Canada, there have been more than 100,000 Canadians killed by assisted suicide.

Widespread reporting has revealed that Canada’s euthanasia law has gone completely wild. The law lacks effective oversight by the Canadian government and allows doctors and nurse practitioners to poison someone to death if their personal “opinion” meets very vague criteria.

This is exactly where legalized suicide leads. There is no end to the rabbit hole doctors and nurse practitioners can go down to justify putting someone to death. Canada’s euthanasia law has expanded from the terminally ill to allow mentally ill people to be legally killed as well.

Americans needs to learn from Canada’s horrific example. 13 states and Washington D.C. allow for legalized suicide. It is time for our governmental leaders to see where euthanasia leads and put a stop to it here in the U.S. before insanity ensues here as it has in Canada.

LET US PRAY…

Father, empower Your people here in Kentucky and in the United States to stand strong against the culture of death and assisted suicide laws in every way possible. Lord, may the Kentucky General Assembly act to protect Kentuckians from legalized suicide. Father, may the tragic suicides that are taking place in Canada be stopped legislatively, as the nation is literally killing itself. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
