The following comes from an August 26 Press Enterprise article by Gail Wesson:
A Riverside County Superior Court judge rejected a request by a physicians group to put the state’s new right-to-die law on hold Friday, Aug. 26, pending court review.
Technically called the End of Life Option Act, the law passed by the Legislature last year decriminalized physician-assisted suicides for individuals of sound mind diagnosed with terminal health conditions expected to die within six months.
The lawsuit was filed by six physicians and the Christian Medical and Dental Society against Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin in June.
At issue in hearings before Judge Daniel A. Ottolia was whether the plaintiffs could sue Hestrin, and whether there were legal grounds to order a preliminary injunction to put a freeze on the law pending further court action.
Ottolia found that Hestrin could be named as a defendant and that no injunction should be ordered at this time.
Attorney Stephen G. Larson said outside court that the plaintiffs would weigh options on their next steps, including filing an appeal of the injunction ruling.
Opponents of the law have argued it was improperly passed during a special session of the legislature, is unconstitutional and does not offer enough safeguards for patients and their physicians.
Supporters have said the law includes adequate oral and written consent by patients making decisions, and patients and physicians can opt out of exercising the choice to seek prescription medications that lead to death.
The California Euthanasia law that went into effect June 8th is a slippery slope that will end in Euthtanasia for Zica malformations, and heart and autistic haploinsufficient (one good copy of the gene not enough) mutant neonates. Pope Francis should not have abandoned the clear Culture of Death vs. Culture of Life magisterium of St. John Paul II. “Who am I to judge” is not the guidance we need in these Cultural Marxism times. It sounds nice for the media, though.
Excellent post, Anonymous!
“Perfection is being, not doing; it is not to affect an act but to achieve a character. There is nothing that makes life unhappier than its meaninglessness, and life is devoid of meaning only when it is without purpose. There are tens of thousands of minor purposes, but the one great purpose is the perfection of our character from a moral point of view.” – Venerable Fulton Sheen
“Who am I to judge” is not the guidance we need in these Cultural Marxism times. It sounds nice for the media, though.”
“These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.”
― G.K. Chesterton
The media and so-called Catholic politicians who promote the culture of death, love to use the cut off sound bite of “Who Am I to Judge”. The reason being, they know that there was really NO CLARIFYING statement given in the end. This sound bite has now become the new murderous weapon being used to justify evil.
Our Lord, clearly added the words, “Go and sin no more.”

The death squad supporters must all be happy. Poor devils, they don’t know how confused they are. Or do they?
