Senate Health Committee schedules 2nd Hearing on A2270/S382, Physician Assisted Suicide Bill in New Jersey

Marie Tasy, Executive Director
New Jersey Right to Life

The Senate Health Committee has decided to hold a second hearing on Monday, December 15 at 11 a.m. on A2270/S382, the physician assisted suicide bill. At this time, it is not clear whether testimony will be limited to only invited guests as it was for yesterday's hearing. It does appear that a vote will take a place at the end of this hearing which will determine whether the bill will be released from committee or not.

At this time, it is critical that you do the following:

1. Please call and email members of the Senate Health Committee. Tell them to please vote No on Bill A2270/S382. Please do this even if you have done so before. Their contact information is at the bottom of this email. You can obtain talking points by going to our website and reading the various articles you will find there.

2. Please continue to email and call your own State Senator and urge them to vote No on A2270/S382. You can send a prewritten message to your Senator by going to the Action alert on the legislative tab on our website, www.njrtl.org and follow the instructions. Please do this even if you have done so before.

3. Please plan to come down to the State House to be a presence on Monday, December 15. Please email us at feedback@njrtl.org for details. Please include your name and contact info in the email.

4. Please share this alert with friends, family and those in your parish community.

Thank you for taking action to stop assisted suicide in NJ.
