Illinois Moves Forward on Assisted Suicide Law
Liberty Check
- Pritzker’s bill risks normalizing assisted suicide in Illinois.
- Catholic leaders warn insurance companies may push lethal drugs over real care.
- This act faces strong opposition from pro-life and religious organizations.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is poised to approve a controversial bill permitting physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. This move follows his recent Vatican meeting with Pope Leo XIV, a vocal critic of such measures and prominent defender of human dignity.
The End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act, supported by the state legislature, includes protocols intended to prevent abuse. The Catholic Conference of Illinois and other advocates for life have raised concerns about the potential for future expanded access and abuses of the new law.
Now is the time to demand leadership that values every American life and safeguards the vulnerable.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
