A strong majority of over two-thirds of peers spoke against the assisted suicide Bill during day one of its Second Reading in the House of Lords on Friday.
It means peers “have in effect declared that the House of Lords is on course to reject the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill at Third Reading”, reports The Conservative Woman (TCW) website.
The conservative media, which focuses on threats to free speech, freedom of conscience and to Western Judeo-Christian heritage, notes that an analysis of speeches on 12 September, completed by Right To Life UK’s Policy Team, shows that of the 86 peers who took a position on the Bill in their speeches, 58 (67 per cent) spoke in opposition to the Bill and 28 (33 per cent) spoke in favour.
