Concerns Grow on Suicide Vote
A flood of concerns over Scotland's drift to state-sanctioned murder is weighing on some MSPs as the crucial vote gets closer. And now the Scottish Parliament’s health committee has decided not to advise MSPs how to vote on Liam McArthur MSP’s assisted suicide Bill, saying the issue is a “matter of conscience”.
In its assessment of the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee did not give any recommendations on the general principles of the Bill, but raised a series of concerns, including over “doctor shopping” and eligibility criteria being “extended over time”.
Under the proposals, those aged 16 or over who have been resident in Scotland for at least twelve months could get help from a medic to kill themselves if they are deemed to be terminally ill. The Stage 1 debate, when MSPs will vote on the Bill for the first time, is scheduled for 13 May.
The Committee explained that since the Bill’s definition of terminal illness does not include a specific life expectancy requirement, patients who “may not be approaching death for a considerable period of time” could be eligible for assisted suicide.
Clare Haughey MSP, Convener of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, highlighted several areas of the Bill which would need further consideration, including “issues around human rights, coercion, eligibility criteria, provision of assistance, self-administration and conscientious objection for healthcare workers.
“We also recognise that there are particular complexities associated with those aspects of the Bill which extend beyond the limits of the powers currently devolved to the Scottish Parliament.”
But Better Way spokesman Dr Miro Griffiths emphasised: “Palliative care doctors, psychiatrists, disabled people’s organisations, experts in the care of older people and others have cautioned that a change in the law would inevitably lead to abuses against the most vulnerable.
“No number of safeguards could rule out coercion of patients through subtle pressure applied behind closed doors.”

From Abortion to Heroin
Belfast's pro-abortion Lord Mayor now wants Northern Ireland to legalise cannabis and help drug addicts to inject heroin.
In an interview with Hot Press, a Dublin-based politics-and-music magazine, Micky Murray called for a more ‘liberal’ approach to illegal drugs in the Province.
Last month, Murray’s fellow Alliance Party member Naomi Long, Northern Ireland’s Justice Minister, promoted drug consumption rooms during a visit to a homelessness charity.
Murray, who admits to having smoked cannabis, believes that the way drugs and addiction are dealt with in the UK “is really behind the times”.
He repeats the unfounded claim that schizophrenia-inducing marijuana isn’t particularly harmful, and that legalising it would generate income for the authorities through taxation.
The Mayor, installed in June 2024, also said: “We need to look at things like safer injection spaces”. The Alliance Party has repeatedly called for a UK-wide change in the law to allow the opening of facilities where addicts can inject illegals drugs without fear of arrest.

57 Years of Slaughter
10,741,486 unborn babies have lost their lives to abortion in the UK since 1968 when the Abortion Act 1967 came into effect.
Sunday 27 April marked 57 years since the abortion law came into force.
At the current rate of abortion one baby is lost to abortion every two minutes, 31 lives are ended every hour.
The number of abortions in England and Wales has reached a record high with 252,122 taking place in 2022, while in Scotland in 2023, there were a record 18,207 abortions, 1,600 more than in 2022, or a 9.63%% increase from 16,607 in the previous year. In Northern Ireland, there were 2,168 abortions in the year ended 31 March 2023, compared with 1,755 in the previous year, an increase of 23.53%.
This significant rise in abortions in England and Wales has accompanied the introduction of ‘DIY’ home abortion services that have been operating in England and Wales since March 2020. Since ‘DIY’ home abortions were introduced, a number of significant problems have arisen.
Abortion statistics released by the Department of Health and Social Care show that in England and Wales, there was a total of 252,122 abortions in 2022, an increase of 37,253 abortions from 2021, when there were 214,869 abortions. This is the highest ever number on record.
Opinion polls repeatedly show that the public wants increased protections for unborn babies and more support for mothers facing unplanned pregnancies – rather than the wholesale removal of legal safeguards around abortion.
Only 1% of the population want abortion to be available up to birth and 70% of women want the abortion limit to be reduced to 20 weeks or lower.
The UK’s abortion law is failing both women and unborn babies. It is a national tragedy that 10,741,486 lives have been lost since the Abortion Act 1967 came into effect, each one a unique and valuable human being who was denied the right to life.

Huge Win for Defender of Children
It's a huge win for common sense, Christian values and the protection of children from LGBTQ grooming.
A former professor at the University of Louisville was awarded $1.6 million in a free speech lawsuit after being fired for criticizing transgender treatments for children who experience gender confusion.
Dr. Allan Josephson, who had served as chief of the university’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology, “was demoted, harassed, and ultimately fired for speaking out on the harms of ‘transitioning’ children,” according to the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the attorney group that represented the respected psychiatrist in the case.
Josephson’s persecution began in 2017 after he had participated in a panel discussion on transgender ideology at The Heritage Foundation.
Staff members at the University of Louisville’s LGBT Center were reportedly offended by what Josephson said and pushed his division to discipline respected psychiatrist.
Pressure mounted after he acted as an expert witness in a lawsuit concerning a school district’s policy on gender-confused individuals using opposite-sex bathrooms.
Josephson was at first demoted from chief of the division to a junior faculty member and had his salary and benefits reduced before being fired from the school in 2019.
In September 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled that Josephson’s case should proceed to trial, declaring public university officials can be held personally accountable for censoring professors or retaliating against them as the University of Louisville did in Josephson’s case.
“I’m glad to finally receive vindication for voicing what I know is true,” Josephson said after the lawsuit’s resolution. “Children deserve better than life-altering procedures that mutilate their bodies and destroy their ability to lead fulfilling lives.”
“In spite of the circumstances I suffered through with my university, I’m overwhelmed to see that my case helped lead the way for other medical practitioners to see the universal truth that altering biological sex is impossibly dangerous while acceptance of one’s sex leads to flourishing,” Josephson said.
“After several years, free speech and common sense have scored a major victory on college campuses,” ADF senior counsel Travis Barham said. “As early as 2014, Dr. Josephson saw the truth behind dangerous procedures that activists were pushing on children struggling with their sex. He risked his livelihood and reputation to speak the truth boldly, and the university punished him for expressing his opinion — ultimately by dismissing him.”

UK Censorship Regime Threatens Pro-Lifers
With the mainstream media heavily pro-abortion, various social media platforms have become an important way to spread the pro-life message. But even this limited outlet for pro-life free speech is now seriously threatened by the UK government's censorship regime.
Britain's crackdown on free speech continues, with two online platforms withdrawing over censorship concerns.
Following the introduction of laws which could see online platforms fined millions of pounds, free speech social media company Gab and video sharing platform Bitchute have withdrawn their services from UK users.
As Reclaim the Net, a UK-based online freedom campaign group, said on March 28:
“The British government has begun aggressively extending its censorship regime beyond its borders, invoking the sweeping powers granted by the Online Safety Act 2023 to demand compliance from foreign-based platforms.”
Bitchute withdrew its services from UK users “over online censorship laws,” as the Free Speech Union reported on April 10. Gab’s statement, published on its UK domain, said the company was acting to protect British users from being jailed for posting on its platform:
After receiving yet another demand from the UK’s speech police, Ofcom, Gab has made the decision to block the entire United Kingdom from accessing our website.
This latest email from Ofcom ordered us to disclose information about our users and operations. We know where this leads: compelled censorship and British citizens thrown in jail for ‘hate speech.’ We refuse to comply with this tyranny.
The UK government claims its laws support “online safety” – but as Reclaim the Net explains, “critics argue … the term … is being used as a smokescreen for state-sanctioned thought control.”
There is likely a “hit list” of further online platforms to be taken down in order, beginning with video outlets Odysee and Rumble, the messenger service Telegram, then the free speech publisher Substack – and on to Elon Musk’s X.
