I'm an Oregonian. I voted against the assisted suicide initiative when it was re-affirmed for the second time. My wife works in a hospital pharmacy and has made it clear to her employer that she will NOT participate in the preparation or dissemination of assisted suicide drugs.
That being said, I am absolutely opposed to Ashcroft meddling in the internal affairs of the state of Oregon over this issue. If doctors start pushing patients to suicide, then Oregonians will address it on our own. The Feds have NO BUSINESS interfering with the citizens of Oregon and they are acting entirely outside their Constitutional charter when they do.
