“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE GOES TWO WAYS

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/0227-na-euthanasia
Sharon Kirkey, "'Take my name off the list, I can't do any more' some doctors backing out of assisted death", National Post, 26 February 2017.

It's been 9 months since Canada legalised medically assisted suicide (euphemistically and deceptively termed medical aid in dying). It seems many participating Canadian doctors are not comfortable murdering killing their patients. (See article above.) Assisted suicide proponents speculate it's because doctors' fear of prosecution or distaste for filling out required paperwork. Yeah right. Perhaps there's another reason.

 Could it be that deep within the human psyche there is a natural repugnance to killing people?  Enforced 'progressive' groupthink still can't stifle every human conscience. 

 Support doctors who have lost their stomaches for killing human beings -- whether it be abortion or assisted suicide. Encourage them to return to Hippocratic medicine. Support conscience rights that are supposedly protected in the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, Article 2, FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS: 

 "Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression ..."

 What is the point of having freedom of thought, belief or opinion without the ability to express it in word and behaviour? The freedom of choice to be put to death is not the only right in Canada's Brave New World of tax-funded assisted suicide. 

 There must also be an equal right for medical professionals not to participate. Choice goes two ways.
