We join the National Right to Life Committee in denouncing Oregon’s settlement in a lawsuit seeking to remove the enforcement of the residency requirements from the state’s assisted suicide law.
Laura Echevarria, National Right to Life’s director of Communications and Press Secretary noted that “This change allows for anyone traveling to Oregon to seek assisted suicide and may open the door for telehealth prescriptions of lethal drugs to residents in other states,” and “The possibility of abuse among vulnerable populations is of grave concern.” Story1 Story2
For example, Oregon’s February 2019 report on its assisted suicide law showed that the terminal diseases that qualified some patients for the lethal overdose included diabetes and arthritis. These are not terminal conditions.
Could insurers even steer people away from costly medical treatments and towards the cheap lethal drugs, potentially pushing patients into assisted suicide?
As an example, in California, when a woman’s insurance company would not cover her prescribed chemotherapy treatment, she inquired if assisted suicide was covered under her plan. She was told, “Yes, we do provide that to our patients, and you would only have to pay $1.20 for the medication.”
“In the push to legalize assisted suicide laws here in the United States, proponents argue that there are so-called safeguards in place,” stated Jennifer Popik, J.D., director of National Right to Life’s Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics. “Not only are these so-called safeguards totally inadequate, but they are regularly followed by efforts to remove them.
”What step will you take to help fight back? A first step we are targeting is to organize county meetings and form chapters. This step might help you identify those of your friends in your church who might work with you to encourage this action. Your ballots are arriving in the mail for the May 15th Primary. Please help your friends identify the best Pro-Life Candidates to vote for! And of course, people must be registered to vote. It's too late to register for the May Primary, but how about hosting a VOTER REGISTRATION SUNDAY once a month until the General Election!
We are helping and ready to do the email marketing to get the word out about this to our ever growing list. We need to raise $5,000 additional dollars. Will you help by clicking on the Donate button below? If you have an interest in helping to form a chapter in your county, please email Jeffk@oregonfaithandfreedom.org.
