A catalogue of reasons why Margo Macdonald’s Assisted Suicide Bill should be rejected
An opinion piece in The Guardian on Saturday by the Editor of the Daily Mail in Scotland, Kevin McKenna, provides a powerful critique of Margo MacDonald MSP’s Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill. Mr McKenna highlights that, although Ms MacDonald’s Bill contains safeguards and claims to ensure that only terminally ill people or those suffering from deteriorating progressive conditions can seek […]
Department of Health officials attempt to bring in nurse and home abortion through back door

Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ – not a very sensible comparison
Nelson Mandela’s achievements were monumental but the way that politicians and media commentators have seized upon his passing to outdo one another in their adulation of him is most unfortunate. Peter Oborne, the Daily Telegraph’s chief political commentator, possibly takes the biscuit with this quote from yesterday: ‘There are very few human beings who can […]
Moves to remove protection for unborn babies with disability in Northern Ireland must be resisted

New website launched to help Christians experiencing same-sex attraction
A new website, containing articles, videos and personal stories has been launched to help Christians experiencing same-sex attraction.

The core of the new group, recently interviewed by Christianity magazine, […]
