Assisted Suicide Ban Law Needed in Georgia

I just became aware this week that there is no law banning assisted suicide in the state of Georgia.  It was thought that there was a law that criminalized SOME assisted suicides, however this week the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled to criminalize assisted suicide violates free speech.  This is outrageous!  The intentional killing of a person is not free speech and should not be tolerated in a civil and moral society.  We need a law in Georgia banning all assisted suicides.  My hope is that pro life citizens in Georgia in large numbers will immediately contact our elected representatives and encourage them to introduce a law banning assisted suicide in the state of Georgia.  It is frustrating and sad to learn that a law is not already in place.  Please take a few short minutes to contact your representatives and share this news with all your pro life friends.  Below is a link to a news story from yesterday's AJC.

Dear Sir,

I am deeply troubled by the news this week that the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled that laws against assisted suicide is a violation of free speech.  This is an outrageous conclusion! The intentional killing of a person is not free speech and should not be tolerated in a civil and moral society.  We need a law in Georgia banning all assisted suicides.  I am requesting that you introduce a law banning all assisted suicides in the state of Georgia.  I look forward to hearing back from you on this most important issue and for your support for a ban on assisted suicide.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

God bless,

Mike Duquaine
