VT Assisted Suicide Bill Fails

Many thanks to our friends at Vermont Right to Life Committee for this news release. This is a GREAT VICTORY against this spirit of death which has been on the doorstep of Vermont's Capital and knocking on the door to our Legislature.

The culture of death in our society has been inviting this spirit (established through abortions) to roost over our state... But in the name of Jesus, we withstand it and take away its right to roost over, or come into Vermont...both now and in the future...and it shall be turned back and have no more entrance into the 50 states!

Please continue to pray against abortion and that this spirit will not be able to rear its ugly head anymore in future legislative sessions! ~Glenn Taylor


On Wednesday, May 3, 2006 the Vermont Human Services Committee called for a committee vote on House Bill 168, the so-called Death With Dignity Bill that has been the focus of heated debate for the 2005 - 2006 legislative session. The vote was 5 to 5 with one member absent. The tie vote means that the Bill has failed to move forward and is dead for the year. The Vermont Right to Life Committee made defeat of House Bill 168 the top priority for the legislative session.

Opponents of physician assisted suicide have worked tirelessly for the past two years to expose the dangers of passing H. 168 and, today, those efforts have been rewarded.

For nearly a decade, Oregon has been the only state to legalize assisted suicide in the US. For the past few years national euthanasia groups have looked to Vermont as the key to reviving their national effort. Those groups, working inconjunction with local suicide proponents, invested funds, hired top lobbying firms, employed a field director, released a public opinion poll, and held informational forums around Vermont. Yet, instead of victory in a Democratically controlled House and Senate, the bill was defeated in single committee.

Thank you for your prayers, phone calls, emails and support. VRLC could not have won this victory without each and every one of you!
