IRS and physician assisted suicide this week on Faith on Trial

This week’s guests include Peter Breen, vice president and senior legal counsel for the Thomas More Society.  He will be discussing how some public officials are thwarting the will of the people by not defending certain laws when challenged.  He was also involved with an Iowa pro-life group whose application for tax exempt status was challenged by the IRS.

Following Peter we’ll have Jennifer Popik, legal counsel with the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics and she’ll be discussing the movement to expand physician assisted suicide.  As you may know, Vermont just enacted a law that shields doctors from all civil or criminal liability for providing death inducing drugs for their patients that wish to end their lives.  Along with the bill come some very minimal guidelines, so minimal as to be non-existent.
Check out the program: Saturday 8 a.m.; Sunday 2 & 7 p.m.; Monday 9 p.m. The program can be heard on Iowa Catholic Radio: 1150 AM; 88.5 & 94.5 FM and streaming on iowacatholicradio.com. All times are Central.
