How to (still) take action on the vote on Assisted Dying

Last Friday, MPs returned to debate Kim Leadbeater’s bill to legalise assisted dying.

The debate covered amendments to the bill that could change details of how it would work in practice.

We mustn’t grow weary - we need to keep standing firm for life. Please continue to pray for those involved in this process.

If you still haven’t contacted your MP, please do so urgently. It’s vital that they continue to hear from people who are opposed to assisted dying.

And if you know that your MP is against assisted dying, then please write to them and ask that they show up to the Report Stage on Friday. We need every opposing voice to this bill in Parliament on Friday.

You may want to also tell your MP about a new intervention from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The organisation is ‘neutral’ on the topic as a whole but has said that it opposes this bill over “many, many factors.”

There are various ways of taking action online through organisations like Christian Concern, CARE etc. More information from CARE can be found at https://care.org.uk/cause/assisted-suicide. Christian Concern has more information at https://christianconcern.com/.

Various groups have organised rallies opposite Parliament so that MPs arriving see that there is widespread opposition to assisted dying. There are also online prayer meetings taking place.
