Colorado Springs Gazette: No to Proposition 106, assisted suicide.

The Colorado Springs Gazette is urging Colorado citizens to vote no on the assisted suicide Proposition 106. In its recent summary of Gazette endorsements, the paper stated:

Out-of-state billionaire George Soros wants to impose this irresponsible law on Colorado as another of his infamous arms-length social experiments. It is a badly written law that will come with unthinkable consequences. Colorado's suicide rate is already too high and rising, especially among teens. This sends the wrong message. But it's worse than that. The law could facilitate impatient heirs in coercing the early deaths of relatives, friends and business partners. It shields from accountability anyone who witnesses a suicide. A similar law in Oregon has greedy insurance companies encouraging suicides to save the costs of treatments and cures. We don't need more suicide, much less a law that allows for almost anything-goes assisted suicide.

The Denver Post also urged Colorado citizens to vote no on the assisted suicide Proposition 106.
