T.P. Newell asserts that the
End of Life Choice Bill's coercion clause is undemocratic, (June 25), and
warns of “violation of the right to freedom of conscience” of doctors who object
to euthanasia.
In 2013, Labour MP Louisa
Wall assured Parliament that her same-sex marriage bill would not force
ministers to carry out marriages which didn’t “fit with the beliefs of the
celebrant”.
Well, surprise, surprise!
Wedding celebrants who refuse to officiate at gay marriages will now be sacked.
The Celebrants Association has told them they’ll lose their registration. In the
last 2 years or so, almost 50 new marriage celebrant applications have been
rejected because they don’t want to officiate at same-sex weddings.
It’s not like Louisa Wall
was telling the usual political fibs. Celebrants aren’t being forced to carry out
such marriages; they’re just not allowed to be celebrants any more.
So if the End of Life Choice
Bill is passed, it follows that doctors who refuse to assist suicide won't be
allowed to be doctors any more.
They'll simply be refused
registration as medical practitioners.
Think euthanasia.
Think euthanasia.
