Bush Goes After Oregon Assisted Suicide Law
Via szymona.net: Bush and his best buddy Ashcroft are going after an Oregon law that enabled assisted suicide. I think it's worth noting that the voters of Oregon made the decision to enact the law, not politicians. I'm not sure that I had a strong feeling about this until I watched my brother-in-law suffer and die from ALS. Bush and Ashcroft should walk a mile in the sufferers shoes. What really disturbs me is that this country will put tax payers dollars in lawyers pockets arguing about the issue at the hands of Bush and Ashcroft while they could be funding research that could prevent people from ever needing to consider the choice that they're so deadset against. I can take some solace in the fact that I didn't vote for these morons.
