Life Matters

In the battle of ideas we understand that ideas have consequences. If bad ideas are allowed to have control of people's actions they will make bad actions. One such bad idea is the myth of overpopulation, which has been disproven. And yet, it is often presented as if it's true in order to justify killing other vulnerable human beings, but it was disapproved long ago. Thomas Robert Malthus came up...

Government sponsorship of healthcare may sound "fair" or as if we will be sharing, but there is much more at stake. We must first realize what healthcare is. It refers to the health of your body. Your body is where you live. As your health fails you want to have the best healthcare available because should your health fail entirely, it is your life that is at stake. In government sponsored health...

Some people say that California law will never recognize the need to protect an unborn child in the womb or the right of that child in the womb to have a right to life. They don't understand that the laws of California already do that. It's called fetal homicide and Scott Peterson is sitting in jail for having killed both his wife and his unborn child. He was given two sentences for killing two un...

Euthanasia advocates like to present themselves as "helping people to die," but that's not really true. Everyone is going to die, that's a natural process. Their goal is to actually kill people - to cause them to die. That is an entirely different verb. Today, in the Netherlands, more than one out of every twenty people who do die are in fact, intentionally killed by one of those whose job it was...

Actor James Franco has a YouTube channel entitled "Philosophy Time." He recently had a Princeton University ethicist explain the morality of early term abortion. Her rationale was simple, but still convoluted; she says there are two different kinds of fetuses - one with a future and one without. Those that have a future are considered of moral worth. Those who are "terminated" are without moral si...

On Life Matters we discuss life, culture, and the battle of ideas and those ideas are often expressed in words and phrases. We must be aware of the true meaning of the words and phrases that are often misleading us to get us to accept the killing of other human beings. One such example is the phrase "terminating a pregnancy". But, pregnancy is a condition. It does not necessitate killing a human b...

Life Matters is dedicated to life culture in the battle of ideas: the abortion and euthanasia debate, and the fact that there's been a dramatic change in medical ethics. When our health begins to fail, it is no longer incumbent on medical ethics to care for and comfort the patient, instead it is now ethically acceptable to simply eliminate vulnerable human beings. Brian is again joined by doctor J...

There is a battle of ideas raging all around us. One of the principal ideas that our society has been built upon is exactly what America's founders stated clearly in the Declaration: that self-evident truths need to be put forward and protected for a just society. The first and foremost of these is the right to life. I'm going to talk about what happens when the right to life is no longer understo...

Peter Singer is the Chair of Bioethics at Princeton University and has long been an advocate of euthanasia, abortion, and infanticide.

Euthanasia is being practiced in the United States under what is supposedly voluntary circumstances. This is known as "Dr. Assisted Suicide". But whatever voluntary euthanasia is, it quickly has moved to involuntary euthanasia. Euthanasia is currently legal in the United States under the auspice of "Dr. Assisted Suicide". But there are many cases of euthanasia by intentional medical neglect as wel...

Brian Johnston gives an overview of why the assertion of the right to live is not based on the theological question of Ensoulment. The right to life is based on self-evident truths as demonstrated through observation and demonstrated in the laws of nature.   "Ensoulment" is an issue which is often raised regarding the question of the right to life of a pre-born child. But this issue of when the so...

Science, used as a means to harm or destroy human life, is perverted science, and is detrimental to the right to life of the human race as beings created in the image and likeness of God.

In the battle of ideas it is not uncommon for people to carry ideas in their head, but they don't know what the name of that idea really is.

Socialism is a faith that, at its heart, believes that government must be empowered and government must address evil that emanates from classes of people, and that the purpose of gover...
