Though the age and condition of this child is not publicly known, the Netherland Times reports that the Dutch government is reviewing this case and making sure the doctor legally killed this child.

The Netherlands has legalized euthanasia for children from ages 1 through 12.

since 2024, stating that the child must be expected to die in the foreseeable future and must be experiencing untreatable suffering.

Parents must also consent to euthanasia.

This procedure has drawn harsh criticism from Catholics and other pro-life advocates,

with Joseph Meany from the National Catholic Bioethics Center calling this a, quote, grave ethical violation, stating that euthanasia is, quote, intrinsically evil and that euthanasia of a child is worse because a child cannot give consent.

You know, Georgia, the league wants to make this a minor issue about following uniform rules.

But I think to many Americans, particularly Christians, and that includes Senator Hawley, well, they see something that's much larger at play here.

They see the league suppressing Christian free speech while forcing players to endorse an ideology that goes against those deeply held beliefs.

The controversy began after several San Francisco Giants pitchers wrote references to Genesis 9 on their pride-themed caps.

Now that's the chapter that describes God's covenant with Noah and the rainbow.

So Giants management then issued an apology to the LGBTQ community for the pain and anger this allegedly caused to them.

And the league issued a warning to the three players about altering their uniforms.

Now that's the point where Senator Hawley stepped in.

He sent a letter to Commissioner Rob Manfred demanding answers for why the league seemed to be trying to silence Christian players who were conscientiously objecting in an unobtrusive way.

So on Monday, Manfred finally responded.

And he said this wasn't about religious discrimination, but simply about enforcing a consistent uniform policy and that these players are not now or ever going to be disciplined over this.

But Holly told us that the lead did allow messaging for Black Lives Matter back in 2020, including riding on cleats.

So he says this is inconsistent.

Manfred did acknowledge that Giants management did not communicate clearly that simply opting out of the pride gear was an option.
