    Toddlers Can Be Killed Under Shocking New Euthanasia Law Proposal

    In 2001, after the practice of doctor-assisted euthanasia had been a de facto legal procedure in the Netherlands, the country codified it and became the first nation to legalized what was promised to be mercy killings for the terminally ill.


    “This law will remove the uncertainty for patients and for doctors,” Health Minister Els Borst said at the time, according to the BBC. “But [assisted suicide] is and remains a last resort that cannot be seen as an alternative for poor health care.”


    It didn’t work out like that. In 2017, the Netherlands showed an 8.1 percent increase in assisted deaths, which equaled out to 6,600 people euthanized. A last resort? Hardly.

    I certainly think the right to the pursuit of happiness includes determining how you die. While I don’t agree with the practice and believe it is contrary to the word of God I am not going to advocate for the removal of anyone’s rights.

    I’ll say it again. Anyone who advocates for their own rights to be taken away needs a deeper understanding of what it means to be free.
    I find your lack of faith...disturbing...

    What do toddlers have to do with this, other than they are a small subset of the set you're talking about?

    You are a liberal and you are for Biden. If that has to be explained to you, it's hopeless. So don't worry about it.

    You’re wrong on both counts. Now what?
