Australian PM Cold to Legalizing Euthanasia

Australian PM Cold to Legalizing Euthanasia » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog: "During the time I was [in Australia], I learned that [Prime Minister Julia ]Gillard is an open atheist, that she lives with her hairdresser boyfriend, and that she came out of the left wing of the Labour Party. I only bring the atheism and apparent social liberalism up because we are often told by euthanasia proponents that only right wing religious fundamentalists oppose legalizing euthanasia–which has never been true, but it sometimes works as an advocacy approach, such as in the Netherlands. (Only religious fundamentalists oppose, so to prove you are not a religious fundamentalist, you had better support.) But that meme won’t hunt Down-Under now that Gillard has concluded she does not want a law legalizing euthanasia."
