The Physician Assisted Suicide bill has passed favorably out of the Senate Healthcare Finance Committee and is now before the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
The MASSterList reports that this is the earliest such a move has been made and is the first time since 2012 that the bill has made it out of the Senate Healthcare Finance Committee to the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
Please contact your legislators right away and ask them to vote NO!
In 2012, the voters of our Commonwealth rejected physician-assisted suicide in a state-wide referendum. In 2022, the Massachusetts Supreme Court refused to find a right to assisted suicide in our Constitution. Nevertheless, the pro-suicide lobby is again pushing HB2246/SB1331, “An Act relative to end of life options,” to legalize assisted suicide in Massachusetts.
We oppose this bill for these reasons:
Physician-assisted suicide invites abuse and creates a slippery slope toward devaluing life. Devaluing life for some means devaluing life for all. Physician-assisted suicide is never necessary and always ends a unique and valuable human life.
Take Action Now: Email or call your MA legislators and ask them to protect the most vulnerable among us and oppose this dangerous and degrading bill.
