Residents Protest Assisted Suicide Bill
LETHBRIDGE – Local opponents of the assisted suicide Bill C-14 took to the streets to have their voices heard.
The rally Wednesday outside Lethbridge M.P. Rachel Harder’s office is meant to back her position on the bill.
Organizer Melanie Kamper hoped the rally will bring awareness to their concerns over the wording of the bill.
“They’ve extended it from just physician assisted suicide to generally assisted suicide where you don’t need the assistance of a doctor directly,” she said. “That framework makes it a lot harder to protect people that are vulnerable.”
