Paul Conrathe was named as the solicitor involved in court action against Dignity in Dying who published a new report on the network of anti-choice activists that is working together to attempt to silence the @RCPCHtweets https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/news/dignity-in-dying-exposes-network-of-anti-choice-activists-trying-to-silence-doctor-survey/">https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/news/dign...
Notable excerpts from the article:
• Of the four doctors taking the legal case, one is a longstanding member of the Christian Medical Fellowship who has written extensively for its journal, one is president and another is a council member of the Catholic Medical Association UK.
• Of the four doctors taking the legal case, one is a longstanding member of the Christian Medical Fellowship who has written extensively for its journal, one is president and another is a council member of the Catholic Medical Association UK.
• The ‘Alliance Defending Freedom’, a Christian conservative organisation that funds legal cases for pro-life causes across the world is expanding into the UK and has “welcomed the case”.
• Campaign adverts by the doctors’ group ‘Our Duty of Care’ have been funded by the organisation Care Not Killing, a long-established network of mostly pro-life and religious organisations established to oppose assisted dying.
• The judicial review of the RCP’s decision is being led by the solicitor Paul Conrathe, who has represented a number of pro-life causes and has been a director of several evangelical Christian organisations.
A statement from @dignityindying Chief Executive, Sarah Wootton...
“a network of anti-choice activists...with links to American anti-choice lobbyists is behind this...They appear to have links to faith-based, anti-choice agendas.”
“a network of anti-choice activists...with links to American anti-choice lobbyists is behind this...They appear to have links to faith-based, anti-choice agendas.”
Here is the full report from @dignityindying that outlines in detail the network of Fundamentalist Christian, US designated hate groups, powerful political influencers... including the Alliance Defending Freedom and Paul Conrathe... https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Opposition-Networks-Report.pdf">https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/wp-conten...
An excerpt from the @dignityindying report... “Questions may be asked as to how far these links are made public, how some of the smaller organisations are funded, and whether these opponents of assisted dying have wider shared objectives”
It is clear that Paul Conrathe operates in the same circles as the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)
Notes on Alliance Defending Freedom...
• The ADF is classified by the Southern Poverty Law Centre ( @Hatewatch)- the international hate monitoring organisation - and many other organisations - as a hate group: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/alliance-defending-freedom">https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-...

ADF is, “an aggressive, strategic legal group that is about Christian supremacy and hegemony in the US and in the world,” said Frederick Clarkson, a senior research analyst with Political Research Associates.

The group’s work against LGBTQ+ people has led experts on extremism at the Southern Poverty Law Center ( @Hatewatch) to label them a hate group. ADF rejects that label.
Last month, after a series of anti-abortion protests at Cardiff University in Wales, it was reported that ADF International had been reminding universities of their responsibilities to protect freedom of speech.

“ADF International – which opposes abortion rights and same-sex marriage equality – is also connected to a small number of British campaigners behind supposedly ‘grassroots’ movements against assisted dying, new research has found.”
“The global wing of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has a multi-million dollar budget but does not disclose who its funders are. It opened an office in London two years ago and is now spending hundreds of thousands in the UK.”
“ADF International’s spending in the UK – which amounted to more than £370,000 in 2017-18 alone”

So... The question is to all the many self-identified “feminists” who have been donating money to the legal cases attacking trans rights - Are you really sure what your money and effort is going towards supporting?
Or are you getting in bed with the enemy???
