Sometimes, the bills that survive the deadlines are not the best indicator of our state’s values – instead, you look at what fails to gain enough support to move forward. An example is the life-affirming defeat of legislation that would have expanded access to assisted suicide in our state. Due to the hard work of several individuals and organizations, the bill, which would have made it easier for someone to take his or her own life, was not brought up for a Senate vote prior to Sunday’s deadline. It was a clear victory for the culture of life in our state!
A victory for the culture of life!
