When Canada legalised assisted death, feminist organisations stayed silent. Not here.
Our research showed mercy killings were in fact violent domestic homicides of women by men: not the siren call for assisted deaths.

@SamanthaNiblet4@Theo_TJ_Jordan@MrMennoTweets More commas to come. Oppressed groups with hard won & easily lost rights:
Women in rape crisis centres & refuges, women incarcerated with men, trans widows, autistic and same-sex attracted detransitioners, disabled women wanting intimate care, nurses in changing rooms...
The government will ban social media for under-16s but pump dangerous puberty blockers into 11 year old children???!!!
Make it make sense!!!!
Many of these children will grow into gay men and lesbians - STOP THE BLOODY TRIAL!!

All over the world, #assistedsuicide and #euthanasia are being rolled back. It is time for Lauren Edward to withdraw this bill and stop this ridiculous charade. Me in @spikedonline https://t.co/xVF2JdjLf5
@annaturley Dear KS, I can’t thank you for your legacy. Ever since you promised a celebrity (&DignityinDying) a suicide bill the anxiety from everyone who cares about PallCare, Disability rights, VAWG & coercion in all its forms has been relentless. And persists.
"My fear is simple: that abused, disabled and vulnerable women — already made to feel like a burden by those who control them — will be coerced into early deaths while the safeguards I fought for are quietly stripped away."

—Emma Lewell: “Absolutely dismayed… A deeply flawed and dangerous bill”
—David Smith: “Very sad news indeed… I can’t think of a more divisive issue”
—Kirsteen Sullivan: “I cannot believe we are back here again. With no humility about the concerns raised previously”
RECAP- @Tanni_GT says it as it is..

Please ✍️ to your MP asking them not to support Lauren Edward’s mission to push through the deeply flawed Terminally Ill Adults Bill via her Private Member’s Bill, and her veiled threats to invoke the Parliament Acts.

Fin de vie : «Olivier Falorni dit qu'il ne faut pas parler d'euthanasie car les nazis l'ont pratiquée en employant ce mot. Mais normalement, le réflexe moral consiste à dire que si les nazis l'ont fait, il ne faut pas faire la même chose», relève Agnès Louis dans Points de Vue.
Aide à mourir: "Comme patient, on peut changer d’avis d’une seconde à l’autre (...) l’accès au choix est compliqué, parce qu’il est forcément sous l’influence de notre environnement, de nos proches, des aidants, du temps qu’il fait", juge @AGenetet (EPR) qui y est défavorable
@spiralmoney@ForWomenScot Then I would refer women who’ve suffered serious detriments due to the government’s illegal policy on housing men in women’s prisons to https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN.

Life is worth living!
Any politician who thinks they can just quietly nod this one through I say this:
Be ready for the inevitable Judge led inquiry in say 10 years where the children badly and permanently injured by this policy face you across a courtroom to point out You knew the harms
Be warned
