Take action against NY suicide bill - and very easy to do

This needs doing as soon as possible. And it can be done easily through the NY State Catholic Conference website. It takes five minutes.

Hit the assisted suicide box.

After you've located your own state senator using the "Compose Your Message" box (by entering your address and zip code), here are two more to do if you can find there zip codes  - 

Andrea Stewart-Cousins (says she's Catholic) is the Senate Majority leader,

Gustavo Rivera is the Health Committee Chairman

You still need to put in your own street address for the system to work for Stewart-Cousins and Rivera, BUT their zip Codes go in.

The Conference has a pre-written message or you can put this one in -

I strongly urge you to vote NO on Senate Bill 138. As you know this seeks to legalize  suicide under the euphemism of "medical aid-in-dying." This promoting of suicide is a further despicable attack on human life. It is especially a threat to the those of any age with mental health issues, the elderly, the disabled, and those facing serious illness. This opens the door to coercion, abuse, and the devaluation of human life. I am a constituent and strongly urge you to stand for life affirming aid and oppose Senate Bill 138.

This bill says "life is cheap when it becomes uncomfortable or inconvenient." And that is a sentiment that will spread beyond the proposed parameters. Because it is ignoble.
