According to a recent report, the White House is set to start using artificial intelligence to write new transportation regulations. It’s no longer a question whether this technology will have power over our lives — that moment has arrived.

As its influence grows, AI will be the source of even more heated political debates. Some on the left are horrified about the lack of DEI and the hateful expression in AI, while the White House has claimed it is too woke. Some say AI is scraping from predominantly Western sources, so it is too Western. Some Christians are horrified by the implications of what happens when you ask generative AI moral and spiritual questions, while others seriously argue that AI can be an ethical counselor and decisionmaker. The AI debates, be they political or moral, are all framed around competing assertions of truth.

UK Pro-Life Advocates Fight Bill to Allow Abortions Up to Birth– www.lifenews.com

At the Lords Committee Stage of the Crime and Policing Bill today, Peers have lined up to back a major bid to overturn the abortion up to birth clause in the Bill, and reinstate in-person consultations with a medical professional prior to an abortion taking place at home.

The speeches from the debate today can be viewed here. Full details regarding the amendments considered today are available in the press release published yesterday here.

Baroness (Rosa) Monckton, who has tabled an amendment to remove the abortion up to birth clause from the Crime and Policing Bill, said:

“I was pleased to be able to speak for many peers and, I believe, most of the country today in opposing the extreme proposal to remove the legal deterrent against women aborting their babies up to birth.”

“Such a change in the law would seriously endanger women’s lives because of the risks of self-induced late-term abortions away from a clinical context, and likely lead to increased numbers of viable babies’ lives being ended. It would also decriminalise self-induced sex-selective abortions. I very much hope peers will support my amendment at Report stage and stop these proposals from becoming law.”

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A coalition of 47 conservative organizations is launching a campaign to challenge the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which the groups claim redefined marriage to emphasize the desires of adults over the needs of children.

The “Greater Than” campaign focuses on one message, which a handful of conservative leaders state clearly in a launch video: “Children are greater than equal, and it’s time we fought for their rights.”

The messaging responds to the LGBTQ activist narrative that redefining marriage as between two people, rather than between a man and a woman, involves “equality.”

Washington state prison officials privately acknowledged that “trans” men could have more sinister motives for wanting to be housed with females.

A group of “gender affirming” mental health specialists discussed how to prevent inmates from requesting sex-changes for “secondary gain” rather than gender dysphoria during an internal monthly meeting. Secondary gain is a psychiatric term that describes the benefits a person with a mental disorder gleans from their neurosis such as “extra attention, sympathy, avoidance of work, and domination of others,” according to the American Psychological Association.

“The topic was on secondary gain and how certain individuals want gender affirming services, but it is not due to gender dysphoria,” the September 2024 meeting notes show. “The question was asked how to prevent that,” the records state.

The story of the Canadian woman, known as Mrs. B, who was killed by euthanasia after her spouse experienced care-giver distress, even though she had requested palliative care, has been reported by several media reports.

To provide greater context I went to the original MDRC committee report of the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario titled: Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions. This was the MDRC 2024 – Fourth report.

When examining Same Day or Next Day euthanasia provisions the MDRC report states:

A small proportion (4.8%) of all Track 1 MAiD deaths occurred on the same day or next day of a request for MAiD. In 2023, 65 MAiD provisions (1.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the same day of a request and 154 MAiD provisions (3.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the next day of a request.

Jamie Schwesnedl, owner of Moon Palace Books, joined Tapper to discuss the “economic blackout” to protest ICE. The craziest part is not that he said what he said, it’s that it was so extreme that even Tapper appeared physically uncomfortable by it.

According to Schwesnedl, “we can’t do business as usual right now anyway because our city has been invaded by masked gunmen kidnapping family members and friends and neighbors of ours to send them to concentration camps. Additionally, there are a lot of businesses in our area that have staff or customers or owners who are afraid to come to work, afraid to come in and shop. People are closing down today, and we felt like it wouldn’t be kind or fair for us to stay open. So we’re closing in solidarity to help send a message.”

In case you aren’t familiar, Canada has a federal program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Here’s more about it:

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a process that allows someone who is found eligible to be able to receive assistance from a medical practitioner in ending their life. The federal Criminal Code of Canada permits this to take place only under very specific circumstances and rules. Anyone requesting this service must meet specific eligibility criteria to receive medical assistance in dying. Any medical practitioner who administers an assisted death to someone must satisfy certain safeguards first.

Only medical practitioners are permitted to conduct assessments and to provide medical assistance in dying. This can be a physician or a nurse practitioner, where provinces and territories allow.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to clarify that pregnancy centers can receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant funding from states.

“The House passage of HR 6945—the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act—reaffirms the necessity of the critical, life-saving and life-enhancing services that pregnancy centers provide, and protects the rights of states to support and fund them,” said Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), an original co-sponsor of the bill, which was introduced by Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN).

“This legislation represents a critical step towards protecting and defending the vital work of pregnancy centers, which, since their inception, have been unfairly maligned, harassed, and discriminated against by radical, pro-abortion state and federal administrations.

“Currently, there are more than 2,700 pregnancy centers operating throughout the United States—each and every one of them offering unparalleled compassion, respect, and care for both mothers and their precious children,” continued Smith, who, earlier this Congress, introduced the Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act of 2025 (HR 2226), which would prohibit federal, state and local governments from discriminating against pregnancy centers because of their life-affirming mission.

Police have yet to identify the pro-Palestinian vandals who caused $7K worth of damage to the home of University of Washington’s former president, according to police reports obtained by The College Fix through a public records request.

The Fix recently obtained the police report and notes for Seattle’s investigation into the November 14, 2024 attack on Ana Mari Cauce’s home and car. This attack followed a similar pro-Palestinian vandalism at the university’s mansion, which is available for use by the school’s president on October 28, 2024.  Cauce retired last summer.

The vandals spray painted the front of her house and her car, then slashed three of her tires. They left messages including “FREE PALESTINE” and “ANA MARI COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE,” among other pro-Palestinian messages,” The Fix previously reported.

“The movement will continue to apply pressure to Ana Mari until UW cuts ties with war profiteers such as Boeing, and divests from the Zionist entity,” one message also stated, referring to Israel. President Cauce supported a ceasefire in Gaza but opposed Israeli divestment, according to Fox 13.

I really do try to write about other issues. But the awfulness keeps on coming.

Yesterday, I called attention to the Canadian bioethicist who claimed that lethal jabs are no different than hip replacements. Today, I came across an awful story out of Australia in which Tony Lewis, age 71 and experiencing Motor Neurone Disease — what we call ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease — has asked for euthanasia because he was denied sufficient financial support for his disability. From the Hello Care report:

A Queensland man with Motor Neurone Disease has chosen to access voluntary assisted dying after being denied support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme because of his age, reigniting concerns about Australia’s two-tier approach to disability and aged care.

Tony Lewis is 71. Diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease last year, he falls outside the eligibility criteria for the NDIS, which excludes people diagnosed after the age of 65. Instead, he must rely on the aged care system, where funding levels and response times are widely acknowledged as inadequate for fast progressing neurological conditions.
