People are always told to not worry about assisted suicide laws because only people with a "terminal illness" can access the law. Unfortunately, the word "terminal" is manipulated like every other assisted suicide safeguard, and vulnerable people always suffer the consequences.

"If we truly value life, especially the lives of the elderly, disabled, mentally ill, the socioeconomically disadvantaged, and children, we should be investing in meaningful services, not in legislation that treats killing as an answer." bgdailynews.com/2026/02/15/pro…

At its core physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is the fear of disability. That's why PAS laws are designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to access PAS poisons instead of able bodied people. This isn't choice, it's discrimination. @NotDeadYetUSA @PRAFund @NCDgov

Our Coalitions Director @JRodMSW explains why the New York assisted suicide bill is dangerous. We have data from other states that proves pain isn't a top reason people want assisted suicide drugs. #EndAssistedSuicide
