A Canadian woman named Miriam Lancaster caused an uproar on social media by saying doctors offered her euthanasia – known in Canada by the euphemism Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) – when she visited the hospital for severe back pain. Lancaster told her story in a social media post on March 18 that has become a viral sensation, since her experience would appear to violate many of the promises of protection surrounding Canada’s large, fast-growing, and often bizarrely aggressive program of physician-assisted suicide. Lancaster was interviewed by Amanda Achtman, founder of the Dying to Meet You Project, a group opposed…

On Monday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) responded to a question on what Democrats have gotten out of the DHS shutdown by saying that “the ICE issue is certainly prominent in a way that it wasn’t a few months ago. I think that’s part of the reason Secretary Noem got forced out. I think it’s also part of the reason the White House has stepped forward and said they’ll put some things on the table.” Ivey said, “Republicans are feeling heat, too, when they go back home. Their people want to be able to…
