Keep praying now after the assisted suicide vote!

It is deeply disappointing that MP’s have today voted in favour of the bill to legalise assisted suicide.

This is another sad day for our country following closely the vote earlier in the week to decriminalise abortion for women up to the moment of birth. It is sign of the growing disregard for Christian ethics and a reformed pseudo-morality built around the idols of autonomy and utility and crowdsourced values.

This is realistically a terrible bill in every sense. It was badly drafted, has many hastily added amendments, was not given adequate debating time and has precious few safeguards or opt outs, even for those in favour of the principle.
