No, you just wish to FORCE your morality on everyone else!! This is why the constitution is written the way it was, to protect the majority from the morals of a minority.
The MAJORITY of Oregonians VOTED for Death with dignity, it is NONE of your business. It is YOUR business in your own state, but NOT in Oregon, what happens in OREGON is OUR Business, SO BUTT OUT!!!

"This is why the constitution is written the way it was, to protect the majority from the morals of a minority." Well, actually, the founding fathers had the minority in mind. That is to say, the Bill of Rights was written to protect the minority of one (a.k.a. THE INDIVIDUAL) from the force of the majority. This is also known as mob rule.
It is sad to say, but MOB RULE is all the rage in this country now days.

No, it's federal law and it's being enforced. Oregon (or CA) can't opt out of whatever federal law it deems disagreeable by passing an initiative. Your issue is with the federal law. I suggest you work toward changing that.
