@kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social autonomy of people can only be exercised when theres real options currently the climate of social care cuts broken NHS, palliative hospice a postcode lottery, disabled people are a burden without this support your bill will doesnt address wider implications of coercion

Sadly, the two people standing up against this are the reason it's been hijacked.

Here are my views and those of Palliative Care Drs such as @doctoroxford.bsky.social #AssistUsToLive before you #AssistUsToDie

Autonomy for people to make their own decisions about their life can not be reached unless there are systems in place to support every single Disabled person. We are nowhere even near that place. I say no. #AssistUsToLive #Disabled

Social care in the UK is already more than shaky and it puts disabled and elderly people's lives at risk. What's more it can cause family members to give up jobs - or worse, if the disabled person isn't loved, encourage them to think of themselves as a burden. #AssistUsToLive not die.

A little bit of a thread here. #AssistedDying #Disabled #AssistUsToLive
If you asked me, why am I against Assisted Suicide? This is what I would tell you.
I know those institutions who are currently meant to protect us Disabled people, instead invalidate us, and work against supposed legal protections of our human rights. #AssistUsToLive #Disabled #AssistedDying

Many say the UK are having the strongest safe guards? What are they? Already there are a large number of MPs say it should be widen. The Bill hasn't reached Westminster and there's talk of relaxing the criteria.

I listened to Rest Is Politics Question Time last night.

Assisted Dying came up and Alastair Campbell said he was instinctively in agreement with the Bill and stated his reasons why.

Lurking behind "compassion" and "choice" is the real economic rationale for #AssistedSuicide.

There is always a slippery slope, but I don't believe there should be any legalisation in this country. I believe that the bill that is due to only have 5 hours of debate in the House of Commons is just also the start of it. We must say no. #AssistUsToLive #Disabled

I respect differing opinions on the #AssistedDying Bill and its people’s personal choice. However, respect mine too. I’ve been here less than 24 hours and on a few comments I have been met with hostility and been mansplained

Have a respectful debate

Angela was a care worker, her insight & experience has value.

The assisted dying bill is flawed

Where how we speak, how we look, how we act is taken in extreme fashion to mean that we don't deserve rights that non Disabled people have. That we can't exist in the real world and don't deserve to. #AssistUsToLive #Disabled
