(LifeSiteNews) — New York may not enforce its new assisted suicide law against a group of Catholic nuns and religious health ministries at least for the time being, U.S. District Judge Ann Nardacki ruled. The law took effect on August 5. “Assisted suicide is a grave moral failure that puts the elderly, the disabled, and those suffering from mental and emotional illness at risk of abuse and manipulation. Assisted suicide is currently legal in 13 states plus the District of Columbia, with legalization measures pending in a dozen more. Experimental assisted suicide drugs have led to the ‘burning of patients’ mouths and throats, causing some to scream in pain.’
