West Virginia Voters to Decide on Landmark Ban on Assisted Suicide | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In the election next week, there is more at stake than the White House and control of Capitol Hill. Voters in West Virginia are considering a measure that would add a constitutional amendment banning assisted suicide. Amendment 1 would be the first constitutional prohibition in any state against assisted suicide and euthanasia. Among those supporting the initiative are state delegate Pat McGeehan and assisted suicide prevention expert Alex Schadenberg. The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston also supports the proposal, with Bishop Mark Brennan encouraging the state's faithful to vote for the amendment. Assisted suicide is legal in several states: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC. Former West Virginia State Delegate and Pro-Life Advocate, Kayla Kessinger, joins to share how the initiative began in West Virginia. Kessinger tells us more about what Church leaders are saying and doing. She gives us an update on what the numbers are looking like. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
