@PhilosophyExp@fjanusz2 Best outcome would be for Parliament to grow some balls and legislate. They can't keep hiding behind judges -
.
@johnthejack@fjanusz2 Even religious Britons support changing the law: http://bbc.in/1533GG8 -
@PhilosophyExp@fjanusz2 Yes, I saw that. But still the politicians run scared. -
@johnthejack Strange, coz it's an easy sell. We can all imagine ending up in that situation, and most of us would want to be able to choose. -
@PhilosophyExp Yeah, agreed. Which prob why public opinion in favour. Politicians scared of religious institutions + many pols devout -
@johnthejack In the UK, though..? (Think there is an issue about doctors - understandbly, actually - being nervous, etc.) -
@PhilosophyExp Yes, would bet higher prop of pols religious than gen pop + tho 'don't do God' They still tread warily. Bishops in Lords. -
@johnthejack Right, except poll shows even religious people... (maybe it just seems like crossing a legislative line, so... a big deal). - 1 more reply
