… how massive majorities in UD‘s Maryland want the assisted suicide law that Illinois just voted in (it’s the thirteenth state to do so), but powerful religious lobbies have been able to block the legislation.
It’s hard to read the actual religious justification for letting dying people undergo protracted suffering without your eyes bugging out. National Review, which takes itself to be a respectable national publication, should be ashamed for publishing this mad screed, which tartly instructs us that God wants us to suffer because he loves us, and if you have trouble making sense of that, tough titties.
How can the strong will of a populace (62% of Maryland’s Catholics want assisted suicide) be overruled by obscurantist sadism?
