This week’s Faith On Trial program: legal battle over physician assisted suicide

Joining Deacon Mike and Gina this week was Chris Schandevel, senior counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) who just yesterday argued against physician assisted suicide in the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The case involved a challenge to a Massachusetts law that prohibited assisting with a suicide as a violation of an individual’s constitutional “right” to assistance with his suicide. Mr. Schandavel gave us his report on how yesterday’s oral arguments went, how ADF got involved, and what we might expect to see from the court.

In addition, after Mr. Schandevel’s segment the deacon and Gina briefly discussed several news items that we might hear about later: the state raid of a child care center where two and three year olds were separated and asked about their mask use from San Diego, California, and a bill in the Maryland legislature which would allow “post birth” abortions up to a month after a baby’s birth. So stay tuned for upcoming issues.
