First, the Catholic Courier excerpts statements in opposition to the so-called MAiD legislation from Bishop Matano, the Bishops of NY, Feminists Choosing Life of New York, and the letter submitted to the Governor by Dr. Carroll on behalf of the Finger Lakes Guild

Second, The Pulse (a publication of the CMA) published an excellent piece by FLG Board Member Jean Baric-Parker making an excellent case against State-Sanctioned Suicide:

Finally, The Tablet quoted Dr. Carroll in a piece entitled, “Pro-Life Leaders Contend With Fallout Over NY Suicide Bill”

State Sanctioned Suicide likely coming to NY

The NY Senate passed the State Sanctioned Suicide bill last night (June 9) around 9pm.

Please pray that Gov. Hochul uses her veto power to protect New Yorkers, and the rest of the country, from this monstrous law!

This is a small, cross-sectional, study…and…the results suggest that those who desire to die…

1. …are more demoralized
2. …have less hope
3. …are NOT bothered any more by pain than those we do not desire to die

What can we conclude from this small, cross-sectional, study? Maybe:

• In order to help those who want to die…we can help them recognize reasons for hope in their life (or even the objective existence of that theological virtue Hope!)
• Continue to make it known that it is NOT pain that leads to the desire for death! This is a lie of the Culture of Death that is pushing State-Sanctioned Suicide right now in the NY State Legislature. If you have not done so already please contact your NY State Senator! Their legislative session ends next week. Now is the time!

Let us thank our Lord for the wonderful news from Illinois!

Please continue to pray, and contact your NY State Senator, for the same outcome here!

This is a powerful piece on State-Sanctioned Suicide from First Things. It’s worth a read.

Also…its crunch time. If you haven’t yet, please contact your NYS Senator to share you opinion on the so-called Medical Aid in Dying bill (S138) ASAP. They are likely to vote this week!

Thank you to Gillian and Jessica Roger’s for this excellent discussion!

If it haven’t already done so, please contact your NY Senator ASAP to let your voice be heard!

Dr. Carroll was recently interviewed by the Catholic Courier on the pending legislation that seeks to legalize State Sanctioned Suicide in NY (euphemistically called Medical Aid in Dying or MAiD).

Check it out.

…and then, make you voice heard!
