Pro-life group criticises new health minister over comments

The good will among the public towards people with disabities has never been higher than at these Paralympic Games.

Suddenly they are faced with the sickening prospect that if they struggle with suicidal feelings, they will be given help to die instead of care and support.

Anna Soubry has wasted no time after her appointment in making known her priority.

Such a move would allegedly save huge amounts of public funds in the costs of caring for disabled, elderly and supposedly unproductive people.

Disabled people must speak up now before the minister starts trying to legislate against their equal right to exist.
