(LifeNews.com) – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is coming under massive criticism for signing a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide. National Right to Life today condemned the governor, saying the bill puts the lives of medically vulnerable Illinoisans at grave risk.
“Assisted suicide is not health care, and it is not compassion,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “This law abandons people at their most vulnerable moments and sends the message that their lives are not worth living.
It sets Illinois on a path where the elderly, those with a disability or struggling with serious illness may find themselves pressured—subtly or overtly—to end their lives prematurely.” CONTINUE
