  • California's Physician-Assisted Suicide Bill: Dead on Arrival

    It's important to realize there are victories from time to time; even now:

    At least until 2016, California's End of Life Option Act is dead. Sponsors of the controversial measure on Tuesday withdrew it from the California Assembly Health Committee after a majority of the committee indicated they would vote against it.
    Latino Democrats, who represent heavily Roman Catholic districts, were a decisive factor in the bill's withdrawal. But months ago, 54 Catholic, evangelical, disability-rights, and physician's groups joined Californians Against Assisted Suicide in its public campaign against SB 128, the Senate-approved bill. Joni and Friends, the Christian Medical and Dental Association, and Concerned Women for America joined the campaign.

    I like that this is in a subforum called Pro-Life Activism, but has the section expanded to encompass topics besides just abortion?

        From other pro-life websites I follow, I got the impression that "Pro-Life" doesn't just entail abortion but other issues such as physician assisted suicide as well. Thats why I posted it in this sub-forum.

          KT is correct. Pro-life is not limited to abortion nor has it ever been.

            Okay. It's just that literally every thread I've ever seen here has been about abortion, so I was just curious.

              It's all about the sanctity of human life.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  I hope so since I live here but that might just be a fluke just wait till next election when they put it on the ballot as a proposition if they get enough signatures.

                    I posted a number of times about assisted suicide in this section on the old site.
                    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
