Joseph Cheffo was found dead in his home in Odessa, Texas on Feb. 13. Even though assisted suicide is illegal in the Lone Star State, his ex-wife and primary caretaker, Sarah Regmund, allegedly helped suffocate him with how-to instructions from the Final Exit Network, the Odessa American reported.

Maria Steenland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health, claims, “Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.”
Steenland et al’s assertion that abortion bans will increase maternal mortality is not supported by good evidence. It is instead an example of why abortion proponents routinely oppose the laws and regulations necessary to provide for adequate surveillance of abortion related injuries. Junk data makes it easier to pretend that abortion is safe.
Reuters reported on February 20, 2026 that a woman who become disabled after an attempted suicide has been approved to be killed by euthanasia.
The woman qualified for euthanasia based on her physical disability. The Spanish law does not require the person to have a terminal diagnosis. Nonetheless, she became disabled from her attempted suicide that her father has argued was based on her mental health issues.

Colorado Democrats have advanced legislation that would empower courts to remove children from parents who decline to affirm their child’s claimed “gender identity,” treating biological reality as potential grounds for custody loss.
Similar cases have unfolded in Indiana, Montana, Texas, and Arizona, where states removed minors from “non-affirming” homes and placed them in facilities promoting medical transition.
Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Leigh Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, told a legislative hearing that pornography websites can serve as “educational” content for “queer” children.
Finke has a long record of advancing radical gender policies, including authoring Minnesota’s 2023 “trans refuge” law that shields child sex-change procedures from parental consent requirements.
Spain’s radical-left Podemos party is advancing a non-binding motion in Congress to impose mandatory comprehensive sex education across all educational stages, starting from Early Childhood Education at age three through Baccalaureate and Vocational Training.
The curriculum would incorporate a “gender perspective, human rights, sexual diversity, and the prevention of male violence,” developed with specialists in “sexual health, feminist pedagogy, and LGBT rights.”
Four years after having an abortion to focus on her career, once-aspiring comedian Emma Estrada has stopped performing and wonders what life could have been like with her child and her child’s father.
