I am relieved that the Assisted Dying Bill has fallen - thanks to the MPs who saw that whatever their views on the merits of this Bill, poor safeguards put too many people at risk. You cannot underestimate the extreme concern this proposed legislation caused. @nmdacosta @Tanni_GT

Without any of the necessary safeguards, how can any MP assume that ‘someone else’ will make this bill safe? I have heard doctors arguing with patients who do not consent to DNRs, why would this be any different? @nmdacosta @DamianHinds @rachaelross21 @mencap_charity @Tanni_GT

MPs vote on assisted dying TOMORROW

“Please listen to us .. Please keep us safe.” @tommyjessop

People with Down syndrome have raised concerns about pressure, coercion & safeguards

If MPs have doubts people will be protected, they should vote NO.

Still time to contact your MP

Time to remove all abortions to birth, what is not ok for one, is not ok for all.

The abortion of healthy babies up till birth is not ok. Handing out pills by post, designed to bring on a miscarriage up to ten weeks, but not medically safe after that period, without a face to face consultation to check gestation, also not ok. Both came from the HoC after just 46 mins of debate & NO risk assessment. Not ok. I hope the HoL has more sense.
