MSPs have voted to remove conscientious objection from the Assisted Suicide Bill

12 Mar, 2026 | Bishops' Conference of Scotland | Being Catholic | Return|

MSPs have voted to remove conscientious objection from the Assisted Suicide Bill.

This means healthcare professionals could be left without the clear protections needed to refuse involvement on grounds of conscience.

As a result, MSPs will now be asked to vote on an incomplete Bill, missing a key safeguard for doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff.

This Bill must be rejected.

Contact your MSP today and urge them to vote against the Assisted Suicide Bill:
