Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
I have amazing news. The Virginia assisted suicide bill died on February 5 (today) by a vote of 8 to 7 in the Virginia Senate Committee on Education and Health.
Congratulations to everyone who worked with the coalition and/or contacted their state representatives. Lives have been saved by the defeat of this bill.
In 2025, Delaware, Illinois and New York passed assisted suicide bills. New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that she would not sign the New York bill until amendments were made.
The amendments included a 5 day waiting period, that can be waived if the person is deemed to be near to death, a residency requirement, a mandatory psychiatric evaluation and a recorded assisted suicide request.
Sadly the amendment bill passed in both of the New York State Houses on February 4 and Governor Hochul is expected to sign the bill on February 6.
I Am Glad That Virginia Ended The Bill To Kill! That Is The Way To Go For ALL THIS KILLING IDEOLOGIES! I HOPE THIS COMMON SENSE WILL SPREAD AND STOP ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO JUSTIFY MURDER! KILLING IS NEVER A SOLUTION FOR ANYONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! THERE IS ALWAYS WAYS TO END SUFFERING IN LIFE-PROVIDING WAYS AND THE KILLERS CULT LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING REGARDING THEIR ADVOCACY FOR KILLING!
