| Organizing Office: | New York State Catholic Conference |
| Dates of Event: | 10/27 – 11/6 |
| Description: |
 Stop Physician-Assisted Suicide in New York New York is on the brink of legalizing physician-assisted suicide. Bill A136 has already passed the Senate and Assembly. The only thing standing in its way is Governor Hochul’s veto — and she needs to hear from you. This bill would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication with the sole purpose of ending a patient’s life. It puts the most vulnerable among us — the elderly, people with disabilities, and those facing emotional or financial despair — at even greater risk. Suicide is not healthcare. We must speak out to protect the dignity of every human life. Assisted suicide is a dangerous and deadly path — one we must not go down. Take Action! Contact the Governor’s office now to oppose this deadly practice! Visit bit.ly/veto-pas |
