The horror we and other pro-lifers predicted when abortion was forced on Northern Ireland by Westminster and Sinn Fein has come to pass.

The bill to introduce euthenasia into Britain is hasty and deeply flaawed, warn a group of leading psychiatrists. Their intervention comes after the Committee scrutinising Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill rejected proposals to strengthen the safeguards.

Writing in a letter to The Times earlier this month, 24 psychiatrists expressed concern both about the “haste” of the assisted suicide legislation and the consequences of the Bill becoming law which, they argue, could put pressure on vulnerable people to end their lives.

The week following the letter’s publication, the Committee rejected amendments that would have strengthened the Bill. The Committee voted down an amendment that would have raised the bar of the Mental Capacity Act to ensure an appropriately high test for mental capacity; rejected an amendment to make it explicitly illegal for someone to ‘encourage’ another person to seek an assisted suicide; and rejected an amendment to protect people from choosing assisted suicide because they feel they are a burden. The Bill’s supporters on the Committee also spoke against attempts to protect prisoners, where suicide rates are already high, and the homeless.

Calling for the Bill to be “overwhelmingly rejected”, the psychiatrists warned that the legislation would undermine their work, which includes suicide prevention, and put vulnerable people under considerable pressure to opt for assisted suicide instead of seeking medical or psychiatric solutions.

They wrote “A law on doctor-assisted suicide will undermine the daily efforts of psychiatrists across the United Kingdom to prevent suicide. Those who have suicidal ideation at any time in life may be vulnerable to pressures to take their own life by the introduction of doctor-assisted suicide”.

“Vulnerability can arise due to external factors such as lack of decent palliative or social care; overt coercion or undue influence; personal losses including bereavement, poor housing or financial hardship. Internal factors may include major depressive disorder, a sense of burdensomeness, loneliness and social isolation. Understanding and responding to these vulnerabilities is at the centre of suicide prevention”.

External factors mentioned in the psychiatrists’ letter, including housing and burdensomeness, were both highlighted in last week’s Committee as serious concerns but supporters of the Bill rejected the need for stronger safeguards.

MPs gave in to pressure and allowed representatives from the Royal College of Psychiatrists to appear before the parliamentary committee scrutinising the assisted suicide Bill, despite the fact that, hours earlier, MPs on the Bill Committee had voted against their involvement.

The psychiatrists criticised this “reluctance” of the Committee scrutinising the Bill to involve the Royal College of Psychiatrists in its discussions, describing the decision as “shocking”.

The psychiatrists wrote “The initial reluctance of the committee to see the need to call the Royal College of Psychiatrists to give evidence is in itself shocking and betrays a lacking understanding of the job that we do in understanding suicide and its prevention”.

The letter to The Times came after the Committee met to examine witnesses who gave evidence on the content of the Bill, in which a number of psychiatrists shared a variety of concerns about the Bill. Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, Professor Allan House, expressed significant concern about the adequacy of the assessment proposed by the Bill.

He stated that, in cases of assisted suicide, a psychological assessment would need to go beyond assessing mental illness and explore social issues like poor housing and financial insecurity, which can be related to feelings of worthlessness and low mood. Additionally, he said that the Bill does not acknowledge peoples’ psychological state. Depression is well known to be difficult to detect among the elderly, as they do not express distress as openly and obviously as younger people do. Depressive disorders are also far more common among people with a serious physical illness compared with the general population.

The politicians trying to force eathanasia into law in Britain know full well that it would lead to people chosing to die rather than be a financial burden on their families.

As the Assisted suicide bill brings legalised euthanasia ever closer for Britain, a nightmarish vision of the slippery slope to state-sanctioned murder is emerging in Australia. The state of Victoria is further down the slide to Hell than we are, and offers a dire warning for our future.

Britian's Labour government is planning a new attack to try to silence Christian efforts to save homosexuals. The Starmer regime is considering a new law on so called conversion therapy.

‘Conversion therapy’ is the phrase LGBTQ militants use to try to demonise measure intended to help homosexuals who want to go straight. It includes repentance as well as preaching, prayer, pastoral care and even parenting that fails to endorse liberal theology.

So biblically faithful preaching, prayer, pastoral care and parenting are all comin under attack.

The Christian Institute has instructed solicitors in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland to prepare the ground for a potential judicial review of any new laws on ‘conversion therapy’ that restrict religious freedom.

This is based on legal advice received from one of the UK’s leading human rights KCs warning that an indiscriminate ban could criminalise the ordinary work of churches. This would put the UK in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and open the Government to legal challenge in the courts.

The Institute has won both its previous judicial reviews against UK governments. The first, in 2007, resulted in a partial strike down of the Northern Ireland Sexual Orientation Regulations. The second, in 2016, resulted in the repeal of the Scottish Government’s unlawful ‘Named Person’ scheme.

Aidan O’Neill KC has also provided two legal opinions for the Institute.

In the first in December 2022 he warned that the Scottish Government’s extreme ‘conversion therapy’ proposals are “beyond the powers of the Scottish Parliament to legislate”. He explained that the “fundamentally illiberal” proposals also breach Holyrood’s competence as set out in the Scotland Act of 1998 as they contain measures which change UK equality and discrimination law which is not devolved to Holyrood.

Liberals always scream about "choice", but look how they react when people make choices they don't like!

"Unborn life is sacred in the eyes of God,” Vice President JD Vance told the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.

Asked a direct question about the Trump administration’s commitment to the pro-life position, Vance encouraged those in attendance to defend the unborn, saying life in the womb is “sacred in the eyes of God and it should be sacred in the eyes of man, too.”

Liberal attitudes to drugs pose a danger to addicts as well as the wider public. Addicts are risking poisoning themselves with illegal drugs at a Government-sanctioned ‘shooting gallery’, Dublin City Councillor Cieran Perry has warned.

Cllr. Perry says that the city centre drug room run by charity Merchants Quay Ireland (MQI), which allows users to inject heroin and cocaine without fear of prosecution, is simply “maintaining people in addiction”.

During the first six weeks of operation, 233 people visited Ireland’s first ever Medically Supervised Injection Facility (MSIF) and staff have already reported treating 15 overdoses.

Perry told RTÉ’s Prime Time that the 18-month pilot project is not “trying to get to the core problem of tackling addiction” and that “referral rates historically are extremely poor from facilities like this”.

He criticised MQI for failing to tackle “personal addiction and to get people off drugs to provide detoxification or rehabilitation”.

The Independent Councillor accused the project of “allowing them, facilitating them, to continue to poison themselves.”

Plans to open the drug shooting gallery have faced strong opposition from the outset over the dangers it presents to local school children, the adverse impact on tourism, and for attracting drug dealers.

The sponsor of the Assisted Suicide bill waited until most MPs had left parliament to launch a cynical move to remove essential safeguards. Now even MPs who were previously in favour of the euthanasia law are calling the latest planned safety review arrangements "death panels".
