Quebec City (CNA/EWTN News) — Days before Canada's assisted suicide bill was originally supposed to take effect, lawmakers' stark disagreements on religious freedom protections and the inclusion of minors could stall the legislation.
The bill, which the nation's bishops describe as "an affront to human dignity, an erosion of human solidarity and a danger to all vulnerable persons," passed the final reading in the House of Commons this week and was sent to the Senate for final approval.
RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) — A man whose loose bull wandered onto a road and was hit by a car, killing the driver, is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge, prosecutor said, and farmers are worried about the harm a conviction could do to the state's agriculture economy.
Farmers and friends packed a legal proceeding at a courthouse Monday in support of bull owner Craig Mosher, whose lawyer has called the car crash "a horrible accident."
