Washington Voters Should Oppose Initiative 1000, Say No to Assisted Suicide

When voters in Washington state head to the polls on Tuesday, they will consider Initiative 1000, which would make the state the second in the nation to legalize the grisly practice of assisted suicide. Washington residents should reject assisted suicide to a solution to helping elderly, terminally ill and other patients.

In the minds of most Americans, assisted suicide brings to mind Doctor Kevorkian, the iconoclastic crusader who appeared more interested in publicity than putting the interests of patients first.

While a Jack Kevorkian may not come to Washington to flout the current laws, making the practice legal doesn't help patients.

For many, assisted suicide involves the same principles as the abortion debate -- where death becomes a handy solution when government or society seeks quick fix solution to a problem...

The same people who think it's not the parent's business if their daughter commits infanticide would expel these girls for taking Advil for the pain afterward.

California Proposition 4 for Parental Notice on Abortion Leads in Friday Poll

Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- The latest survey of California voters finds a very narrow lead for Proposition 4, the measure that would require parental notification before a minor girl can have an abortion. The results of a Field Poll, released Friday, show a narrow 45-43 percentage point lead with 12 percent undecided.

The good news for backers of the measure is that the notification initiative leads among people who have already voted -- giving them a last-minute chance to persuade the rest.

The survey finds the larger lead the parental rights measure enjoyed in earlier surveys has diminished as Election Day nears. The measure had an eight point lead in September and a nine point lead in July.
