Now @JayneOzanne is telling us about her experience of 'Gay Conversion Therapy'. Understandably, it was not a positive one. #HealthcareAndSecularismpic.twitter.com/0JoMtM6v5e

We return after lunch with @AnnFuredi. Ann will be talking on the topic of abortion. #HealthcareAndSecularismpic.twitter.com/NSfIMg0n4e
On the 'no-platforming' of anti-abortion voices.
"The best way we can stand up to our opponents is to engage them and defeat them in argument" -@AnnFuredi #HealthcareAndSecularism
We move on to the topic of assisted dying with @DrJackyDavis . #HealthcareAndSecularismpic.twitter.com/c0kBHETzOU
We are told by @DrJackyDavis that those opposing assisted dying are often influential leaders of various religious and disabled groups, however their views often don't match many of those they claim to represent. #HealthcareAndSecularism
So, @DrJackyDavis talks about those that jumped from the Twin Towers on 9/11. She frames it as people consciously ending their lives because they realised there was no escape. I always assumed they were trapped and jumped instinctively when overwhelmed by flames/smoke. Thoughts?
It appeared to me as a "last resort/no choice" type of situation to avoid burning to death rather than a realisation that the towers would soon be coming down.
So. Seems we have an answer. Thank you #HealthcareAndSecularismhttps://twitter.com/CarterSteinhoff/status/1056180752952393728?s=19 …
Dr Michael Irwin will be the last speaker of the day. #HealthcareAndSecularismpic.twitter.com/AZqXqy7ULT
And that's me back on the train to Manchester. My video if the event will be made available in the coming weeks. In the meantime, head over to http://secularism.org.uk to look at the current campaigns & events. Consider becoming a member. #HealthcareAndSecularism
Seriously? No belief can justify that action. Grotesque and frankly, criminal.
It's not criminal, unfortunately, in no country in the world is male genital mutilation illegal. No one should have the right to cut off healthy parts of a person's body without that person asking for them to be removed, period. The only one we allow is the foreskin.
But putting the mouth on the genitals of a baby? Evil.
I'd call it less evil than cutting off half the genitals of that same baby personally.
You really think only 4mm is cut off in a circumcision? I would be so lucky if that's all that was taken.
Does that look like 4mm of skin there? and remember this is off the infant penis, which is barely an inch or two long, so yes, it's half of the skin of the penis.pic.twitter.com/doLbVZBIBu
Christ! (no pun intended). Male genital mutilation. I would outlaw ANY non-medically necessary mutilation of children - including ear piercing. This is a decision for an adult to make.
And herpes for a newborn without an immune system is fatal in many, if not a majority, of cases. This happened to a series of children in the ultra orthodox community in New York
Not even one case proven, but anyway...
