We are Becoming a Suicide Nation as Illinois Legislature Passes Assisted Suicide Bill

The Illinois Legislature has just passed an assisted suicide legalization bill, tying a black bow along with New York's legalization bill passed a few months ago. Both measures still await signing by the states' respective governors, which I fear is quite likely as the death agenda is firmly ensconced in blue state liberal/progressive policy on assisted suicide.

Should the bills get signed into law, more people will live in jurisdictions (including three of our most populous: California, New York, and Illinois) that validate some suicides and allow doctors to facilitate such deaths than live in states where assisted suicide remains illegal.

The states are nationalizing assisted suicide as well. New York's bill has no residency requirement. Vermont and Oregon did away with theirs. And the Illinois bill's residency requirement is so weak that one could become a resident in a day by, say, renting an apartment and registering to vote.
