MPs approve assisted suicide – but the fight goes on
******

Dear supporter,

With a heavy heart I must tell you that this afternoon, MPs voted in favour of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill for England and Wales by 314 votes to 291.

This is a tragic indictment of the disregard that so many in the House of Commons have for the most vulnerable in society. Coming so soon after Tuesday’s vote to dramatically liberalise abortion law, it is heartbreaking.

A full record of how MPs voted is available on the Parliament website. ([link removed])

However, now is not the time to give up. Although this dangerous legislation has now been approved by MPs, it is still a long way from the statute book. The more closely it is examined, the less support it has. The majority of 55 in last November’s vote was cut to only 23 today.

The Bill now goes to the House of Lords, where its many flaws will face far more robust scrutiny. Without the persistent curtailing of debate that happens in the Commons, Peers will be able to give this life-and-death issue the time and attention it deserves.

Depending on where you live, we will let you know what you can do to help at the right time.

Thank you for all you have already done as part of this campaign, from contacting your MP to praying. Despite today’s result, we know that our labour in the Lord is not in vain (1 Cor. 15:58).

Please pray for wisdom, strength and encouragement at this time for the team here and for all who oppose this Bill. And please continue to ask our sovereign God, who can do all things, for its defeat.

Yours in Christ,
Ciarán Kelly
