We need your help to protect Delaware’s vulnerable citizens! House Bill 140, that legalizes physician-assisted suicide, was voted out of committee and is on the “ready list” to go before the full Delaware House of Representatives. For years, the Catholic community has joined advocates for the disabled and others to oppose this bill that would put the lives of our most vulnerable citizens at risk. It’s time to stand up and make our voices heard.
Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer says he supports physician-assisted suicide legislation vetoed last year by Gov. John Carney.
Bishop Koenig speaks out against physician-assisted suicide: ‘It’s wrong for society to say this is something we condone’
This could be our last chance to help preserve the sanctity of life and the dignity of all people in Delaware!
“We urge all people of good will to demand that our lawmakers reject suicide as an end-of-life option and to choose the better, safer path that involves radical solidarity with those facing the end of their earthly journey. Let us choose the path that models true compassion and dignity to those facing end of life decisions and protects the most vulnerable from the deadly proposition of physician assisted suicide.” ~Most Reverend William E. Lori, Archbishop of Baltimore, Wilton Cardinal Gregory, Archbishop of Washington and Most Reverend William Koenig, Bishop of Wilmington. A Better Way Forward, January 2024
