In this episode of Life Matters, Brian explores what's ahead in 2025 and how the election victory of November is merely the beginning. Brian also explained in detail the nature of his recent illness. His congestive heart failure had him hospitalized for three months - a month and a half in intensive care and a month and a half in cardio recovery care. He is now recovering at home. Brian explains that the year ahead includes many challenges, including the very strong push for killing the medically dependent. Eleven jurisdictions across the United States have currently authorized physician assisted killing. These laws are aimed at the emotionally vulnerable as well as the physically challenged and/or financially challenged. Brian admits that he was emotionally vulnerable, and depressed during his hospitalization and brush with death.  This made him a candidate for physician assisted suicide in California under current California law. Because the law is no longer an advocate, you must be willing to advocate for vulnerable family and friends.  Brian also explained that there is a great misunderstanding of the legal battles ahead for the ProLife cause. As his book, Evil Twins: Roe and Doe, how the Supreme Court Unleashed Medical Killing, makes clear, the real attack on society and culture in Roe was that it instructed doctors to be killers. This cultural and ethical departure in Roe is explicit and even feminist leaders like Ruth Bader Ginsburg concurred: “Roe is not woman centered. It is physician centered.” These decisions instruct doctors to do whatever they see fit and in particular to even kill at their own discretion.  Many misunderstand what the Dobbs Decision of 2022 actually did to abortion law. It did not overturn Roe, it merely adjusted aspects of Roe v. Wade. In particular, the federalized compulsion to accept all abortions was removed and it was presented as a states' rights issue. It's a great mistake to present or even view the Right To Life cause as a states' rights issue. This does not address the real ethical, moral and cultural decay that was brought to us by Roe v. Wade. The right to life cause needs to be prepared to speak up for all vulnerable human beings, regardless of their age, and to be on guard regarding the efforts to promote the killing of depressed, vulnerable, and medically dependent persons. In addition, the real issue of protecting vulnerable human lives, and not merely the emotional attraction of helping babies and mothers needs to be understood.   Brian also announced that many of his writings will now be readily available online at Substack.  See @brianjohnston on Substack.
