Spain: Fifth in Europe to Sanction Euthanasia
Church Militant ^ | 11/2/20 | Martin Barillas

Socialists expand global Culture of Death

MADRID (ChurchMilitant.com) - Spain passed its first law that not only allows euthanasia but also recognizes death as a right. Spain thus becomes the fifth in Europe to legalize the practice. Euthanasia (namely, sanctioned homicide) or assisted suicide has extended even to children as young as 12 in the Netherlands, for example. So far in Spain, it is for the intended adult victim alone to request the combination of substances to induce death.

Sponsored by Spain's Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), its proponents promise that it will allow a "dignified death." To be applied, however, the law must first be submitted for study before it can be published in the official government bulletin and become official.

Members of the minority Popular Party and the pro-life Vox party voted Sept.10 against the proposal. The Popular Party had offered amendments to guarantee personalized care at home, palliative sedation, private rooms in a hospital, family leave, as well as family visits. However, the measure passed (201–140) when the ruling Socialists and Podemos coalition were joined by the Citizens Party, as well as Basque and Catalan Nationalists. No amendments were allowed.

Here’s the deal. Western Christians are all about abortion and euthanasia. Western Muslims are all about having large families.

Demographics is destiny. It’s just as simple as that. So who will inherit the West? I’m betting it won’t be those weak “Christians”.

Hitler was so ahead of his time. Why did we fight a war against him?

” God does not suffer competition well.”

I get what you mean, but, really it is: God does not suffer competition at all.

Europe lost its way. The countries used to be religious and now the devil is their god.
