Oppose Assisted Suicide Legislation

Physician-assisted suicide proponents are vigorously pushing assisted suicide legislation in New York State. Lawmakers need to hear from pro-life people like you to prevent this dangerous assault on the vulnerable elderly, disabled and marginalized.  

The Medical Aid in Dying Bill (MAiD, A136, S138) was passed in the  Assembly on April 29, 2025. It is now in the Senate Health Committee.  URGENT: Contact your state senator and express  your opposition to this dangerous bill. Let them know that this bill should not be brought to the Senate floor for a vote. And if it does come up for a vote they should vote No.

Go to the NY State Senate site.  If you don't know who your senator is click on Find Your Senator.  For more information see S138.
