The Minnesota Catholic Conference, is aiming to engage as many parishes as possible around the state to oppose the legalization of physician-assisted suicide in Minnesota. To that end, they have identified Bloomington as swing district where they need to have more parishioners contact their state legislators to oppose this harmful legislation.
The Minnesota Catholic Conference is working together with their partner organization, the Minnesota Alliance for Ethical Healthcare. The Alliance is a coalition of 75 organizations including health care providers, disability advocates, mental health experts, faith communities, and veterans organizations committed to ensuring real healthcare throughout life's journey. The Alliance advocates for compassionate alternatives to the legalization of assisted suicide.
