SPUC has called for pro-lifers to lobby members of the House of Lords on assisted suicide.

Lord Alderdice has re-tabled a previously undebated amendment to allow assisted suicide to the government's Coroners and Justice bill. Indications are that the amendment will be debated either on Monday or Wednesday.

SPUC is recommending that pro-lifers email Lords known to be opposed to assisted suicide. [SPUC campaign alert, 20 October] http://is.gd/4xBft
