This needs to be opposed everywhere it is proposed!

As long as there is an exemption to allow them to continue to “assist” leftists, I’m in!

And we must insist, at least among our own number, upon the belief expressed by St. Paul: So we do not lose heart. Though our body is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal

(2 Cor 4:16-18).

Sorry but I believe my right to life also allows me the right to die at a time and place I choose if that is how I want to go.

I put it right up there as a personal right like the right to keep and bear arms.

I can enforce my right at any time I choose. I should not need the state to PERMIT me to die.

I have the distinct feeling that this will be the next front after abortion and gay marriage. I shudder to think of our future when they start killing us after the womb. No one will be safe. Your child was born with disabilities? Watch out for Big Gov, they will whisk him off to the slaughter house. Granny is incontinent? Off to the slaughter house with her.

Saving children from queers I will go for.

But how would you save souls by making a law against suicide?

suicide = self-inflicted post partum abortion

FYI - my mother is in hospice, but does not want an injection to kill her done by the doctor and neither do I.

Beautiful! Those moments are between the person and God, and should be respected. There is so much that takes place within the soul as it steps from time into eternity: more than we can realize.

Prediction: This is the next issue that the Supreme Court will decide is a “right”.

Man Survives Plunge Over Niagara Falls I'm from the area. I saw the news footage, taken by a tourist, that was spoken of in the article. He was extremely heavy, and the buoyancy of his body fat, combined with the forward speed of the water caused the trajectory of his fall to bypass the rocks below. Otherwise, he could have been smashed to pieces; otherwise sucked below, rushed down to a whirlpool by the current, with his remains taking weeks to surface. He didn't want to be saved. The helicopter was taking a big chance flying through the mist in cold weather, at an angle, to save him.

My point? It wasn't his time; it wasn't his decision; hee survived. When God said, "Thou shalt not kill", He included ourselves. There isn't a thing that happens in all creation that God does not permit nor ordain. Yes you have a right to life- but it was given to you by God. He decided when, by whom, and even which egg and sperm were going to find one another. Your life is a gift from God that you had no control over. He denied you the right to destroy that life, in Scripture. Your choice is how you live what is in between the beginning and the end. Those choices determine what is after, my friend. Please choose carefully!

Next on the Culture of Death agenda? Yes, I agree with you, it probably is. That will give them time for more genetic engineering so satan can fool himself into thinking he is the Creator. Got people like Sanger and Hitler and Mengele to thank for seeking to make a “perfect” race and eliminate all “undesirables.” Our once great nation has followed down that road, and isn’t changing direction. God have mercy on us before it’s too late.

Sanger and I share a hometown. She was appalling. The city barely acknowledges her. It is our shame.

It’s one thing when a tortured soul who is mentally ill and hears voices telling him/her to kill themselves, and does so on impulse; they are ill and not totally, if at all, culpable. Assisted suicide is premeditated and deliberate- and involves so much more. Check the stipulations in the article: full knowledge, or someone with full knowledge; the physician who signs; the actual administrator of what is ultimately lethal, and everyone in the hierarchy of that facility/organization where it is permitted. A lot of souls involved there...

At least she is regarded with shame, which says a lot for your community. The nation regards her as some sort of heroine. I would bet that she’s the woman who’ll be chosen for the new 10-dollar bill. Sad...

Your post reminded me of something.

Anyone recall the Beatle album where the 4 of them wore white coats, and had pieces of meat and dismembered baby dolls on them? The albums were recalled after public outcry, and became, I think, "Revolver."

How times have changed, with saline burning, suction dismemberment, and partial birth forms of abortion. I bet if they released it now, nobody would bat an eye. What prompted them to take that picture back then in the first place? I can't help but wonder...

Body souls or spiritual souls? oh well that is why I asked because I don`t know.

Partly because I do not believe any one is going to die unless it is time for them to die regardless of how it happens, I believe that has to do with predestination.

And how about the soldier who falls on the grenade to save his friends is that not suicide?

Well like I said, I don`t know.
