| Message | We are curious: The Brethrenist Party could support the second two Articles without much trouble. But the first two seem at odds with one another. Abortion, even late term abortion, on demand but euthanasia under the strictest possible regulations? This doesn't seem to be consistent. We will oppose because we are definitely against the limitations on Euthanasia. We think people should be allowed to die on their own terms- it is between themselves and God, and the state should not be standing in the way of a person's choices with this regard. The other articles, we have not come to clearness on them, so it is just as well that we do not support them. |
