(Not so) pro-life vid: Brittany Maynard condolences used for petition
by Kelli
Pro-lifer Katie Buck, a supporter of Iowa Right to Life, reported some disturbing information to LifeNews.com regarding an online sympathy card she says she signed in memory of Brittany Maynard, the cancer patient who recently took her own life via assisted suicide. The organization behind the sympathy card – the same one essentially cheering Maynard’s decision so she could become their poster child – is Compassion & Choices. Buck soon found out the sympathy card was more than what she bargained for. She reports:
[They] used an online sympathy card to steal the names of people all over America to use for their petition to legalize assisted suicide. This video contains undercover proof linking the sympathy card and the petition….
Now that Brittany has passed away, the “sympathy card” has been replaced with a “condolences card” for her family. I have confirmed this “condolences card” will also get you on their petition. I have undercover proof of this as well….
Watch this video for more details about what Katie uncovered:
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
What Culture of Death?
Snakes.
The irony of this whole thing is this is nothing new. For as long as there have been terminally ill patients there have been doctors willing to prescribe, with a wink and a nod, whatever the patients asked for to provide “pain relief”, knowing full well the patient was hoarding the meds should he or she decide to finally end their misery. It was legal and if the patient was terminal, no one questioned the practice or, if the patient died at home, how it actually occurred.
Patients came into the hospital for “morphine drips” when their pain became unmanageable and patients were given what relief they needed, often resulting in death.
Why this big deal is being made about, and laws are being passed for “doctor assisted suicide” when it has discreetly and quietly gone on longer than I can remember is beyond me.
Another thing, when people want to kill themselves they will kill themselves, nothing will stop them and they won’t need anyone’s help. Stopping them is the challenge, and we were seldom successful.
Disgusting. I bet that if some pro-life group tried the same thing, it would be all over the news.
