(Ottawa) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Canada's top pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition is urging Canadians to tell their MPs to support a private members bill that would repeal the expansion of euthanasia laws to those suffering solely from mental illness. (Image: Pexels)

Bill C-314, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying), was introduced by Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Ed Fast and a second reading of it will be voted on Wednesday, October 18. 

Should the bill prevail tomorrow, it would then proceed to third reading, where it stands a good chance passing and then heading to Canada's Senate.

"MPs should be voting on MAID with their eyes wide open," wrote Fast about his bill on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.  

Fast introduced the bill in February. It received immediate praise from Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) after it passed its first reading. Tomorrow's debate on the second reading of the bill is expected to last about one hour.

CLC's Director of Political Operations Jack Fonseca in an email to supporters today said Canadians need to "act right away" and send an email to their MPs telling them to vote in favor of Fast's bill.

"I can't even begin to imagine all the vulnerable men and women who'll be taken advantage of and coerced into giving in and having a medical professional kill them," wrote Fonseca.

"This is why we have to act right away."

Fonseca urged people to send their MPs a message today to "tell them to support this bill." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
