Christian organisations that provide end-of-life care are suing the state of New York over new assisted suicide laws which they claim violates their freedoms of religion and speech. He said the four orders of Catholic nuns and several Christian health care ministries “want to be able to continue doing what they’ve done for over a hundred years.” “That is to provide compassionate, loving, Christ-focused care to these patients without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs to do so.” He claims the state often forces the workers to help the patients meet the requirements for assisted suicide. “That includes fines for every time that you refuse to refer somebody or help them obtain assisted suicide drugs,” Mr. Fleshman warned.
