State Affairs Against Assisted Suicide

The House State Affairs Committee has voted unanimously in favor of SB 1070a, the bill to ban assisted suicide and make it a felony. Jason Herring, head of Right to Life of Idaho, told the committee, “All this belongs to God, all this is under His control.” He said anyone assisting with a suicide is “usurping the authority of God and robbing the deathbed of all that is precious and holy in His eyes.” He said,  “We believe the state of Idaho has a vested interest in promoting and maintaining what is righteous and just in the eyes of God”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
