Refusing conscience vote ‘unacceptable’

To deprive others of the civil and free use of their conscience for upholding what they consider a correct course of action in a matter as grave as the termination of the life of a human being, is unacceptable.

Such deprivation is an unjustified sanction and an attack on their personal moral identity.

Without the effective recognition that everyone has a free conscience to guide their decisions and actions, there is no decent democracy and, ultimately, no morals or religion.
