Jai Rowell MP – Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Assisted Dying https://christiansforvad.org.au Formerly known as Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Euthanasia Fri, 28 Aug 2020 05:21:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.9.13 The truth about end of life choices – Forum held in Sydney 11.11.2018 https://christiansforvad.org.au/the-truth-about-end-of-life-choices-forum-held-in-sydney-11-11-2018/ Sat, 17 Nov 2018 05:27:55 +0000 https://christiansforvad.org.au/?p=454

 

An outstanding group of experts gave us the facts in this Forum on voluntary assisted dying support. Essential viewing!

The emotional plea by Jan, wife of Tim Edwards, and their daughter, Jessica, who spoke at the meeting about the torturous death of Tim from mesothelioma certainly bought tears to my eyes! I just cannot understand why our MPs continue to ignore such futile suffering, especially those who profess to be Christian. Where is their compassion?

I had the privilege of meeting Tim not long before he died, and together we went to lobby our local MP, Jai Rowell.

Every MP who is against this choice, and all members of the ‘ACL” (Australian Christian Lobby) and the ‘HOPE no euthanasia’ group should watch the complete forum and become familiar with the truth behind the issue, and then perhaps understand why up to 85% of Australians support voluntary assisted dying.

]]> Rose’s story. Today Tonight on 7, Adelaide. Why did all 24 MPs who voted against assisted dying choice decline to appear on camera? https://christiansforvad.org.au/roses-story-today-tonight-on-7-adelaide-why-did-all-24-mps-who-voted-against-assisted-dying-choice-decline-to-appear-on-camera/ Thu, 16 Mar 2017 07:50:10 +0000 https://christiansforvad.org.au/?p=322 Reporter Rosanna Mangiarelli, Today Tonight on 7 from Adelaide: It was late last year when we started this story, when the Death with Dignity bill [in South Australia] was defeated by the narrowest of margins, 23 votes to 24. We have waited since December for those most vocal about the topic to get back to us and last week all 24 who voted against the bill declined to talk on camera about the issue.  So tonight we bring you Rose’s story, who, when the euthanasia vote was lost, made a desperate decision to take matters into her own hands.

Ian Wood sums up: This must be one of the most moving 6 minutes of video I have ever viewed. I feel anguish for Rose and her futile suffering, sorrow for Bernie, and anger towards our politicians who continue to deny us compassionate choice in dying and refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence in support.

I have emailed the link with my comment to my local MP, Jai Rowell, and asked him to please heed the overwhelming evidence in support.  You may wish to email the link to your MP too?
