The DC City Council is holding a second and final vote tomorrow on the assisted suicide bill that recently passed in its first vote. Those opposing this dangerous law, which will surely result in premature deaths without consent and which will influence legislators in other states, are asking people from all over the country to contact the council members asking them to vote NO. Emphasize the fact that this proposed law will not protect anyone from coercion. There are absolutely no protections for the patient once he or she gets a doctor to prescribe the lethal dose of barbiturates. The law requires no witnesses to the ingestion of the drugs, so sick people will be at the mercy of people who will benefit from their deaths. The law puts everyone, rich or poor, at risk.
Here is the contact information:
