ACTION ALERT

Help Stop State Sponsored Suicide

Sign the Petition

   Politicians in Hartford are again considering assisted suicide legislation. The Public Health Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly is considering legalizing a form of suicide in our state commonly referred to as "aid-in-dying" or "physician-assisted suicide". The Committee has raised House Bill 6425 "An Act Concerning Aid in Dying for Terminally Ill Patients".   

   We should never allow legislators to establish suicide as a solution to medical issues.  Don’t let the state persuade us that it’s dignified for an ill person to sign their own execution order. Don’t let the state create an environment where ill people will feel they have a “responsibility to die”.

ACTION ALERT

The Public Health Committee has voted legislation detrimental to pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers in Connecticut out of Committee

Please help the centers oppose the legislation by emailing your State Representatives and Senators.

  Urge them to Vote "NO" on S.B. 835 "An Act Concerning Deceptive Advertising Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers".

Click on the link below to send them an email. You may edit the pre-written email with your own comments.

    S.B. 835 is based on completely inaccurate and misleading information about pregnancy resource centers in our state and is part of a national campaign to discredit the work that these centers perform. The word "abortion" is the linchpin in determining who is covered by this proposed legislation and who is not.  Proof of this statement can be found in Section 1(7) where "limited services pregnancy center" is defined as centers that do not provide referrals for abortions or emergency contraception. 

 Please oppose S.B. 835 - Help preserve a true choice for women facing an unplanned pregnancy in Connecticut.
