OPPOSE SB 443 - End of Life Options Act

Please oppose this end-of-life bill. As a Catholic, my faith calls me to respect all life, from birth to natural death. I request that you not approve these Bills.  How can helping someone die by drugs be considered “died by natural causes?”   It is inhuman to help someone die. We should have compassion and help each individual to be out of pain but not to kill.

I am very concerned about the push to legalize the dangerous practice of physician-assisted suicide in our state. Maryland has rejected similar bills multiple times. I am asking the committee to oppose MD SB 443 - End of Life Options Act.

. . . .from the Maryland State Board of Elections, giving you the opportunity to sign up for Maryland’s permanent mail-in ballot list.

We say YES! Let’s take advantage of this opportunity!

As much as we would prefer a return to election day voting only, this system is here and the Democrats are beating us badly at this game.

Virginia’s Governor Youngkin credits much of his electoral success to encouraging his voters to vote early and to use the mail-in ballot system.

Our major presidential candidates embrace the idea and the RNC has initiated their program of:

“Bank Your Vote”

You can fill out the paper form and send it back in the postage free envelope or follow instructions to fill out the online form which can be completed in just a few minutes.

In one of the most outrageous attempts yet to stretch its tentacles of progressive racial justice into every nook and cranny, the Council is now deliberating the “Menstrual Products Access and Equity Act”. Its passage would “require places of public accommodation to provide menstrual products in certain public restrooms at no charge to users.” To the casual observer, places are already providing hygiene products such as toilet paper, soap, and towels. So why not?

Our new chairman, Dennis Melby, invited me to write a short and sweet piece for the newsletter. Something positive. Was he kidding? He’s a very smart man who stays current on all the news, and this is a newsletter for a political organization. Politics by its nature is less warm and a lot more fuzzy. What was there to say?

But as the old saying goes, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum. In my case, on my way to Mass. As usual, last Sunday I needed to pack my 12-minute trip into ten minutes if I wanted to arrive before the church bells’ final toll. On my way I was speeding while flipping through radio stations, frustrated by a spate of commercials. Oddly, because I rarely ever do this, I decided to turn it off  and listen to what God might be broadcasting instead. It was notably silent, but not for long. Just a couple of minutes later, and as I was preparing to make a left turn, a cyclist came careening at me from around the corner with his bike out of control and fighting hard to avoid a collision. It seemed inevitable that he would crash into me, potentially flying over my hood and into moving traffic. Mind you, at this point both my hands were on the wheel, and I was quickly able to maneuver my car far enough out of the way without hitting another so that he had just enough space to stabilize his bike and – miraculously – move on unscathed. Thank you, God, I whispered the quiet part out loud. Ironically, the homily that day surrounded the theme of “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.”
