Tomorrow, Friday 29 November 2024, the House of Commons will vote on the second reading of the proposed bill to legalise assisted suicide.
This bill stands in stark contrast with the innate sanctity of every human life, and must be opposed at all costs. Every country where such an act has been legalised, safeguards have fallen away and a ‘right’ to die has quickly become a duty to die.
Please remember that no human person is a burden; every single one of us is willed, is loved, and is necessary.
Pray for our country, that our politicians may uphold the sanctity of human life and protect the most vulnerable.
