“Welcome to Oregon!”
The Deluded People’s Republic of Oregon (how in the world did it ever come to this?) has decided to do away with residency requirements for assisted suicide (https://www.theblaze.com/news/oregon-residency-requirement-medically-assisted-suicide). So if you want to off yourself, you will no longer have to be a resident of this addled state.
Not being able to kill yourself in Oregon unless you live in Oregon was “profoundly unfair to dying patients,” said a top medical authority. Well, heck, the bigger your practice, the bigger your swimming pool.
A critic warned that scrubbing the residency requirement would turn Oregon into “the assisted suicide tourism capital.” I can see the full-color brochure now: VISIT OREGON… AND DIE!
You can’t spend much time with libs, in print or in person, without running into some kind of commercial for assisted suicide. Leftism is a death-cult; its sacraments are abortion, “gay marriage,” transgender, and assisted suicide.
God’s wisdom, personified, warned us, “All they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8: 36).
Go ahead–try to tell us why that ain’t so. I triple-dog dare you.
I love that phrase, “profoundly unfair to dying patients.” If there’s one thing that puts patients into a dying state, it’s killing them or helping them to kill themselves. Ugh.
This will create a new class of doctors for whom failure is, the patient’s still alive.
That’s been the standard for abortionists for a long time.
I can see people without hope in Christ who are terminal and in great distress wanting to choose suicide. In some cultures if you disgrace yourself it is expected you will kill yourself. Suicide is a huge problem in America but making it legal is not the answer.
Wait’ll they make it compulsory.
They have a love affair with death.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
This is so sad. Oregon was once a beautiful and prosperous place. I can hardly believe what I am seeing as I see the horrible slums of the homeless. It breaks my heart.
