Illinois Democrats May Try to Legalize Assisted Suicide in Lame Duck Session

The Illinois General Assembly may attempt to legalize assisted suicide during next week’s Lame Duck session.

The bill would be similar to SB 3499, a bill that was filed by Senator Linda Holmes in February 2024. This is not the first time that the assisted suicide lobby has tried to pass killer legislation during a Lame Duck or even Special Session. That is how assisted suicide was legalized in California in 2015.

Illinois elected representatives will have been told that SB 3499 is a tightly worded bill.

Most assisted suicide bills are written with specific “safeguard” language designed to sell support for assisted suicide among legislators. This is a bait and switch tactic to legalize assisted suicide and then expand the law later.

The reality is that nearly every State that has legalized assisted suicide has later expanded the law. Assisted suicide bills, such as in Illinois, must be defeated.

You don’t want Illinois doctors to become killers.

We believe in Caring Not Killing.
