Life & justice ministry: Call to Action Against SB 1196

In 2015, California legalized assisted suicide for adults with illnesses of 6 months or less to live. Now, a Senator is pushing a bill to allow all chronically ill Californians to receive assisted suicide, as well as people with dementia. Right now, millions of Californians don’t have health care and can’t find doctors or hospitals. The State needs to ensure people have good and accessible healthcare so that people with chronic illnesses don’t feel coerced into dying prematurely. No one should feel compelled to use assisted suicide due to a scarcity of housing, food, pain management, mental health treatment, home health, or psycho-social support.

Call Your Senator to ask for a NO VOTE on Suicide Expansion for Non-Terminally Ill and Dementia Patients (SB 1196). To find your Senator's office phone number, visit HERE.
