Assisted Suicide Bill in Connecticut Defeated for the 10th Time

Another attempt to push pro-death legislation has been thwarted in Connecticut.

HARTFORD, Connecticut (LifeSiteNews) – For the tenth time, a bill to legalize assisted suicide has been defeated in Connecticut.

Bill SB 88 was defeated on April 12 after it had passed in the Connecticut Public Health Committee in March.

One of the strongest opponents of the bill was Cathy Ludlum, who is one of the leaders of Second Thoughts Connecticut, a group dedicated to protecting the rights of disabled people in light of the push for assisted suicide.

According the Second Thoughts, the most recent attempt to legalize medical suicide in the state centered on a change to language regarding the issue.

Stephen Mendolsohn of Second Thoughts stated in his testimony: “No change in language can change the deadly mix between assisted suicide and a broken health care and home care system. As the cheapest ‘treatment,’ assisted suicide diminishes choice, and especially so for people of color, disabled people, and others who have been historically marginalized in our health care system.”

Maybe the people pushing this will just go out and commit suicide and put it into it all.

democrats, the party of death and destruction.
if you vote against them, they attempt to slay your character, i.e. deplorable.
if you seak against them, they attempt to silence you, i.e. cancel culture, stop free speech.
if you stand peacably against them, they throw away your rights and lock you up, i.e. jan.6.
if you defend the unborn, they go nuts on you and attempt to exact violence upon you.
if you defend those who do not have their wits, young and old, you are holding back civilization from moving forward.

Whenever I get into any debate about “over population”, I ask: “If you believe the planet is overpopulated, then why are you still here? Be part of the solution.”

#6: "Democrat scum love to butcher babies, the elderly, and the handicapped."

Exactly the same as a certain Austrian corporal.

Oregon just changed the rules to allow out-of-staters to come to Oregon for their suicide.

lol exactly- everyone pushing the bill should be so despondent that it didn’t pass that they move to a state that allows it and do the deed on themselves-

A ‘self-limiting problem’ lol

Never expected Connecticut to do ANYTHING that would be wise.

Discouraging this euphemistic “assisted suicide” AKA, murder, is a good first step.
