Unfortunately, MPs have voted by 330 votes to 275 in support of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill.
This means that the Bill will now proceed on to Committee Stage.
Many MPs from across the political spectrum came together to give powerful speeches against the Bill during the debate today. They made it clear that this dangerous and extreme change to our laws would put the vulnerable at risk and see the ending of many lives through assisted suicide.
The parish would like to thank you for your support during this campaign.
Although the Bill has passed Second Reading, the vote was far closer than commentators originally predicted and this is just the first stage of a long journey through the Commons, followed by the Lords, for this dangerous assisted suicide Bill before it becomes law.
Right To Life UK are now going to redouble their efforts to fight this Bill at every stage and ensure that it is defeated to protect the most vulnerable. Please consider donating to their ongoing efforts, using this QR code:
Thank you once again for all you have done.
And keep praying.
Our Lady of Pity, please pray for us!
