Pro-Life World Coming to the Defense of Luxembourg

Pro-Life World Coming to the Defense of Luxembourg Monarch's Stand against Euthanasia

 

The US-based Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has announced they will be launching a legal challenge to a new law in Luxembourg legalizing euthanasia. Last week, the world was shocked when the parliament of the tiny but venerable European state of Luxembourg proposed to strip its head of state, the Grand Duke Henri, of his veto powers when the latter announced he would refuse to give royal assent to the law.

 

The ADF, a network of Christian attorneys, announced today that attorneys were standing ready to offer pro bono legal assistance to physicians willing to bring suit regarding the constitutionality of the law.

 

ADF Legal Counsel Roger Kiska, who is based in Europe, said, "Everyone deserves a chance to recover. The proposed legislation does not allow for that, and we believe it is unconstitutional."
