The pro-death folks are at it again, and your voice is needed to stop them!
Once again, Maryland legislators have brought forward a bill to legalize assisted suicide. This bill (SB 701) will be heard in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee on Friday afternoon.
This assisted-suicide bill will 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 these bills are weak, leaving our most vulnerable people – the disabled, the mentally ill and our teens – at higher risk for abuse.
Sadly, suicide tends to generate copycats among the emotionally vulnerable via a phenomenon called suicide contagion, where one suicide leads to many. Suicide is already the second leading cause of death for teens, and suicides among veterans far outnumber combat fatalities.
This bill sends a very bad message to our most vulnerable teens and veterans – that suicide is okay in some instances.
We need your help to encourage the senators on the committee to vote NO on assisted suicide. In just 30 seconds, you can send a message to all of the committee members – that in Maryland every life is worth fighting for.
Thank you for speaking up for life!

Your state representative needs to hear from you! That’s because the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee could be voting as soon as next week on a bill that would legalize assisted suicide. The Maryland House passed this bill on March 7th . This is our chance to stop this radical agenda.
House Bill 399 would allow doctors to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to anyone who has been “qualified” to end their own life.
There is nothing in this measure that would prevent abuses from taking place. That puts the disabled and the elderly particularly at risk.
And please contact the senators on the committee today and ask them to oppose assisted suicide (HB 339). We’ve made it easy through our Action Center. You can make your voice heard in seconds.
Let them know that you believe every life is worth fighting for!

A Maryland Senate committee is about to vote on a bill that would push many minors towards transgenderism. Your quick help is needed to stop it!
Senate Bill 1028 is what is known as a “therapy ban.” It would ban professional counseling for children and teens who are struggling with their gender identity. But the ban would ONLY forbid counseling that is designed to help them identify with their birth sex.
In other words, counseling that encourages them to change their gender – even to go through irreversible sex-change operations – would be protected by the state. But counseling to help them accept their God-given birth sex would be outlawed.
Incredibly, such laws have already passed in California and a few other states. But it has also been stopped in many. That’s why your help is so urgently needed!
The bill would also affect counseling for unwanted same-sex attraction. This type of counseling has helped thousands of young people deal with unwanted same-sex attraction, which often arises out of sexual abuse. But if SB 1028 passes, these young people will only be allowed to get counseling that encourages homosexuality.
Here’s what you can do:
- Please click here to send a note to each committee member that will be voting on this bill as soon as today (Wednesday). You can reach them all with just a click at our Action Center.
- Please pass this email along to friends so they can make their voice heard as well.
Thank you for taking action!
