The NY State Assembly has passed an assisted suicide bill that's likely now headed soon to the State Senate and Governor Hochul. We must act quickly. |
This legislation threatens vulnerable populations by devaluing life based on condition or prognosis. It is a slippery slope, as we have seen in places like Canada, where the law keeps expanding. Just think of the potential influence a law like this could have on insurance coverage decisions. That’s chilling. Finally, the law completely contradicts our efforts to prevent suicide.
As Pope Francis said, "Euthanasia and assisted suicide are a defeat for all. We are called never to abandon those who are suffering, never giving up but caring and loving to restore hope."
Please take immediate action: Contact your State Senator, reach out to Governor Hochul and share this video with others. The New York State Catholic Conferencehas made it easy to submit an email directly to your state senator.
Make your voice heard. Together, we can advocate for true dignity through proper palliative and hospice care.

Sincerely in Christ, |
