Ohioans, we need to pay attention!
A bill has been introduced in Ohio that would legalize Doctor Prescribed Suicide.
HB 835, the Medical Aid in Dying Act, is being promoted as compassionate and as a matter of patient choice. Groups like Compassion & Choices and Ohio End of Life Options are pushing for this policy.
But let’s be honest about what we’re talking about.
Doctor Prescribed Suicide is not palliative care.
Palliative care means caring for someone who is suffering. It means treating their pain, keeping them comfortable, supporting their family, and making sure they know they are not alone.
Doctors are supposed to heal and care for their patients, not prescribe medication with the intent of ending their lives.
We should be offering people hope, care, comfort, and support when they are at their most vulnerable. We should never send the message that someone’s life has become too difficult, too expensive, or too burdensome to continue.
This is especially important for the elderly, people with disabilities, and those facing serious or terminal illness.
Every human life has dignity and value, even when that life is marked by suffering.
We need to speak up now! Our enemies have been emboldened by their recent victories, and we must not be caught flat footed once again.
Please contact your Ohio state representative and senator and tell them to
OPPOSE HB 835.
You can simply tell them:
“I oppose HB 835 and Doctor Prescribed Suicide in Ohio. Please protect vulnerable Ohioans and reject this legislation.”
Please share this with your family, friends, church, and pro-life community.
Ohio should respond to suffering with compassion and care—not suicide.
