Now a Tory councillor wants euthansia for children in care (UPDATED)

Headline says it all really:

A RED-FACED councillor has had to apologise after calling for the legalisation of euthanasia to cut the number of children in care.

First this week it was sterilisation, now it’s killing children. ‘Nasty party’ anyone?

UPDATE: It looks as if Hugh Jackson has now had the Conservative whip withdrawn.

    Nasty party? Think “Dr. Death”, Evan Harris. In fact, he’d probably agree with the councillor. He, like many Lib Dem MPs, believes unborn children should be killed (up to birth) if they have a disability. What’s the difference? The cllr should join you.

    Actually, the headline is pretty misleading, considering it was intended to be a joke – albeit one in very poor taste –

    The Limp Dums support abortion and this is responsible for nothing less than a genocide scale of child murder- so stop talikg B@ll@cks

  • My Tory opponent, when I stood for parliament in ’92 was very pro-abortion; I was against abortion. Like all parties the Lib Dems has members who are pro and anti, I guess only the Pro Life Alliance dosen’t.

    If we have over 20000 councillors in the country occassionally some of them will say something silly and occassionally some of them will be members of political party’s. Non Story.

    You are confusing Dr Evan Harris with Dr David Owen, who actually was known as “Dr Death”.

    Owen got his peerage for endorsing John Major, so I guess he is a hero of yours.

    Is there an Anti Life Alliance?

    As I am not a member of the Pro Life Alliance, does that make me anti life?
