Shownotes Transcript

The right to life isn’t just about the tragedy of abortion, which needs to come to an end.  It’s about restoring the right to life for all individuals who are vulnerable.

Today we talk again with Wayne Cockfield.   He is the Vice President for Medical Ethics for the National Right to Life Committee.  We will discuss how medical ethics is an essential part of the right to life and also Wayne’s experience in receiving ethical care, but also his being at risk of receiving unethical care for life circumstances that left him very vulnerable.  

The purpose of medicine is to care for the vulnerable.  However, in today’s society, medicine, changed by law, has given way to a “freedom” of doctors to kill vulnerable patients they deem unworthy or unnecessary to be alive.  How frightening that the power to decide over life or death is in the hands of those meant to treat people in need.

You must be aware, be prepared, and be equipped to care for you and your loved ones in this battle.
