JUDGE DENIES
LINDSAY CLANCY'S REQUEST
TO BE FOUND NOT GUILTY

Oct. 1, 2026 | Washington, DC
A judge on Thursday refused to find Lindsay Clancy not guilty of murder in the strangulation killings of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.
Plymouth Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan denied a defense motion for a required finding of not guilty. The request, renewed after a hung jury, asked the court to clear Clancy of murder in the children’s deaths at the family’s Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023.
The first trial ended in a mistrial Sept. 4.
“The Court finds that the evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth and with the reasonable inferences permitted to be drawn, was sufficient to have satisfied any rational trier of fact beyond a reasonable doubt as to the essential element of the defendant’s criminal responsibility,” Sullivan wrote.
Prosecutors said Clancy ordered food from a restaurant in Plymouth that night and sent her husband, Patrick Clancy, to pick it up and to stop at CVS. GPS data and surveillance footage showed he was out of the house, and Sullivan wrote that Clancy was the only person home when the children were killed.

Family Sounds Alarm After
83-Year-Old Grandma Dies Under
Canada's Assisted-Death Program
Fox News | by Rachel Guidice for Fox News | Sept. 21, 2026
The family of an 83-year-old Canadian woman is demanding answers after she died through the country's medical assistance in dying program despite allegedly becoming distraught when told the procedure would end her life and showing signs of cognitive decline, according to a report.
The Daily Mail reported Sunday that an 83-year-old Christian grandmother, Brigitte Stegemann, was killed under Canada’s physician-assisted suicide program, called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), on July 10.
Her granddaughter, Brigitte Kranendonk, said that she was her grandmother’s primary caregiver and that her family had decided to place Stegemann at The Pearl care home in Cannifton due to physical and mental decline.
But according to Kranendonk, her grandmother still had a good appetite even following a stomach cancer diagnosis, and rejected the idea of using MAiD when it was presented as an option.
Everything changed, however, in June when Kranendonk left to go on a 10-day road trip with her husband.
Kranendonk said she remained in regular contact with the care home and was told her grandmother had fallen and would need a wheelchair, but said she was not initially alerted to any dramatic decline.
Then, on July 3, near the end of her trip, Kranendonk said she received a call informing her that the home planned to arrange a MAiD assessment for Stegemann, despite her grandmother previously telling her that she did not want an assisted death. CLICK HERE to read the full story.

CANADA WILL EUTHANIZE MENTALLY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE HERE'S HOW

Oct. 8, 2026 | Ottawa, Canada
Justice Minister Sean Fraser and Health Minister Marjorie Michel stated on October 7, 2026 that the federal government will introduce legislation, that will prevent the implementation of euthanasia for mental illness as a sole criteria.
However, the government legislation will also permit euthanasia by advanced request.
Euthanasia by advanced request is a very dangerous concept as it permits doctors and nurse practitioners to kill someone who has become incompetent, based on an advanced request. CLICK HERE for the full story.

Lindsay Clancy Attorney
Now Claims
She Didn’t Kill the Children
LifeNews.com | Steven Ertelt | 9-29-26 |Plymouth, MA
Lindsay Clancy returned to court Tuesday for the first time since the mistrial, and her lawyer argued there is “no evidence” she killed her three children — after a trial in which she did not contest that she had killed them.
Clancy, a former nurse, is charged with first-degree murder in the Jan. 24, 2023, strangling deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family’s home in Duxbury. Prosecutors say she then jumped from a window in a suicide attempt and was left paralyzed and in a wheelchair. She has pleaded not guilty.
At her five-week trial, attorney Kevin Reddington argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated when she strangled the children and tried to take her own life. Clancy did not dispute during the trial that she killed them. The fight then was over criminal responsibility.
The jury deadlocked 11-1. Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial Sept. 4, saying he had “no choice.”

STUDY SHOWS ABORTION
RAISES MATERNAL MORBIDITY
RISK IN FUTURE PREGNANCIES
LifeNews.com | Laura Pham
9-15-26 | Washington, DC
A new peer-reviewed study by Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) researchers used Medicaid data to identify a history of pregnancy loss, which includes miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion, as risk factors for severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in future pregnancies. SMM is defined as a life-threatening complication during pregnancy or delivery.
Previous studies suggest a woman’s history of pregnancy loss may contribute to increased risk in future deliveries, but most analyses have relied on limited clinical samples or registry populations outside the U.S.
This retrospective study analyzed Medicaid data from 2016-2021, specifically looking at over 1.7 million women who had their first live birth in that timespan. Researchers examined how many of those first live births were complicated by SMM, using the CDC’s list of 21 SMM indicators.
Key points:
-
A prior pregnancy loss increased the odds of SMM in future pregnancies by about 55%.
-
A history of abortions increased the risk of SMM by about 20% and increased the risk of C-sections in a subsequent first delivery by 12%.
-
These findings confirm the importance of identifying women with a history of pregnancy loss as a potential high-risk group for enhanced prenatal monitoring.
Dr. David Reardon, director of the Elliot Institute and associate scholar at CLI, said:
“The data shows clear evidence that abortion is a risk factor for maternal complications, many of which are life threatening, in later pregnancies. This is an avoidable risk factor, and women considering abortion should be warned of this risk along with the elevated risk of premature death and harms to their mental health.” CLICK HERE for a link to the source article (which includes a link to the read the full study).

She Had Stage 4 Breast Cancer, Canada Offered Her
Assisted Suicide

Sept. 22, 2026 Ottawa, Canada
Kristin is a wife, mother, and veteran of the US Air Force, who was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. What followed was not just a battle against disease, but a fight for her very dignity.
Living in Canada, Kristin says doctors told her her only option was physician-assisted suicide. Instead of offering aggressive treatment or hope, she was allegedly told that her condition was terminal and that procedures like HIPEC surgery would not save her life.
Rather than honoring her life, the system presented her with a devastating alternative: end her life early instead of pursuing further care.
But Kristin and her husband, Donovan, refused to accept that answer.
Determined to fight for her life, the couple made a bold decision. They arranged to travel to the United States, searching for doctors who would be willing to treat her. In Seattle, they found that hope. Doctors quickly moved forward with HIPEC surgery and chemotherapy—treatment options they had been told would not help. CLICK HERE to read the full article.

Physician-Assisted Suicide:
A Perversion of Mercy
by Kevin Jorrey
article excerpts below
In recent years, the push for Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS) has been framed as a compassionate choice, a way to end suffering and uphold “personal dignity.” Yet the Catholic Church, rooted in Scripture and Tradition, makes clear that such practices gravely misunderstand both human dignity and authentic compassion.
In Canada, PAS has been legal for several years, and the consequences are devastating. In 2023 alone, over 15,000 Canadians died under what is called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), a phrase that hides the harsh reality of euthanasia. When physicians abandon their oath to “do no harm” and instead participate in killing, the foundations of healthcare itself begin to collapse. CLICK HERE to read the FULL article.
Note from Tiffin Right to Life -- Be Aware: House Bill 835 was introduced this past Spring in the Ohio House to try to enact MAiD legislation for the State of Ohio. We must speak out against this to demand that MAiD does not become the law in Ohio.
THE REALITY OF
ELECTIVE ABORTION ON DEMAND
For many people, abortion is an abstract idea concerning personal freedom. They fail to grasp the true reality of what happens when a more powerful person chooses elective abortion (also known as abortion on demand). Elective abortion is a violent and fatal assault on an innocent human being growing and developing in his or her mother's womb with the sole intention of killing the growing child. Elective abortion is spoken about in euphemisms to hide the brutal reality of what occurs. This is why it is necessary to bring the truth forward.
EVEN IF AN ACT IS LEGAL
IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE IT MORAL
Ask yourself this question, "If Ohio law said it is legal to steal less than $500 from a bank, and you will not be prosecuted for doing so, would that make it morally right to steal?"
Many people incorrectly assume, "If it's legal, it must be moral."
When thinking rationally, people understand that ELECTIVE ABORTION ON DEMAND is now legal in many states, but
IS NOT and WILL NEVER BE a moral act.
Rational-thinking people further understand the science that medical care after a spontaneous miscarriage is NOT elective abortion because in a spontaneous miscarriage the baby in the womb is already deceased and medical care is necessary to prevent physical harm to the woman.
Rational-thinking people understand that "Elective Abortion On Demand" is NOT health care.
