Victory for Life in Britain

The culture of life won another battle today when the British House of Lords defeated a bill to legalize assisted suicide. The vote was 148-100 to defeat the bill. If passed into law, it would have allowed physicians to prescribed lethal drugs to patients that only have less than 6 months to live. Right now, Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland and the state of Oregon allowed assisted suicide.

Assisted suicide remains a mortal sin, and it is a non-negotiable meaning that Catholics can not support it while still claiming to be Catholic.

Thanks for your prayers for my cousin, Moneybags. He has been completely unresponsive today, and it does seem to be a matter of hours now. Thank you for joining your prayers to ours as we pray for his peaceful death and the very much needed peace of his already fractured family.
