California Assisted Suicide Bill Dies, Democrats Can’t Find Enough Votes in Assembly
In a huge victory for pro-life advocates in California, the bill the state Senate passed to make the state the next to legalize assisted suicide has died. SB 128 is reportedly off the table for the rest of the year after Democrats had trouble finding enough votes in a state Assembly committee to move the bill ahead.
SB 128 is not expected to move forward any more this year some sources inform LifeNews, though Democrats are expected to file the legislation again next year — prompting yet another battle to protect seniors, the terminally ill and disabled.
Brian Johnston of the California Pro-Life Council confirmed for LifeNews that the bill is dead for this legislative session.
