Hawaii Governor Ige will very soon decide whether or not to sign House Bill 2739 that would allow doctors to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to anyone who has been “qualified” to end their own life.
The so-called protections in this bill are weak and will do little to prevent abuses from taking place. That puts the disabled and the elderly particularly at risk.
Please contact Governor Ige today and ask him to veto the assisted suicide bill. We’ve made it easy through our Action Center. You can send an email with just a click through our Action Center.
Let the Governor know that you believe every life is worth fighting for!

The Hawaii House of Representatives is about to vote on a bill (House Bill 2739) that would allow doctors to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to anyone who has been “qualified” to end their own life.
The so-called protections in this bill are weak and will do little to prevent abuses from taking place. That puts the disabled and the elderly particularly at risk.
The video above is the moving story of Jean, who as a young woman experienced a horrific, debilitating accident. Thankfully, she found purpose in life and is now so thankful that she did not have the option of assisted suicide following the accident. Please watch and share with friends!
And please contact your representative today and ask him or her to oppose assisted suicide. We’ve made it easy through our Action Center. Even if you don’t know who your representative is, you can send an email with just a click – and the Action Center will get it to the right legislator.
Let them know that you believe every life is worth fighting for!

This message must ring loud and clear to our seniors, and those with disabilities or terminal illnesses: “We will not abandon you to assisted suicide.” And, because of you, this message is being heard at state capitols across the nation.
Through your support, CitizenLink (soon to be Family Policy Alliance), our national ally Focus on the Family and our state ally Colorado Family Action worked to stop Colorado’s Assisted Suicide bill in its tracks. CitizenLink’s state allies in Minnesota, Maryland and Hawaii also stopped Assisted Suicide bills. Christ calls us to walk with those who suffer, not abandon them without hope—because love lifts life up. Thank you for sharing this message through your support of CitizenLink and our allies.
With your help, this spring CitizenLink was also a voice for women and children at the U.S. Supreme Court. Along with allies Susan B. Anthony List and Students for Life of America, CitizenLink led a friend-of-the-court brief in Whole Woman’s Health, the most significant abortion case to reach the Court in 25 years. And that brief was drafted by the legal arm of our Pennsylvania ally. The Court is expected to release its decision in June.
The case arose when abortionists in Texas didn’t like the commonsense regulations the Texas Legislature passed, with the help of our ally, Texas Values. The law required abortion facilities to meet the same standards as other outpatient surgical facilities. CitizenLink’s brief informed the Court that abortion businesses shouldn’t get a free pass on basic health standards, simply to keep them in the market.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who argued in defense of Texas’ pro-life law, said: “The amicus brief cosponsored by CitizenLink was a critical part of the overall argument presented to the Supreme Court, and I am very grateful for those that stood with my office in defense of women’s health.”
Thank you for partnering with us to tell the Court that we must protect both women and their babies!
