EDINBURGH (LifeSiteNews) — The Scottish Parliament rejected a bill that would have legalized euthanasia in the country, in a major victory for the right to life.
Scottish MSPs voted down the “assisted dying” legislation on Tuesday in a 69–57 vote. Several MSPs who supported the bill switched their votes over concerns about the risk of coercion and other problems.
