Idaho Chooses Life

The House State Affairs Committee approved SB1070 on a unanimous voice vote this morning (Tuesday). The action sends the legislation to Ban Assisted Suicide to the full House for its final leg through the legislative process.
The motion to send the bill to the House was made by Rep. Elfreda Higgins, a Boise Democrat.

No opposing testimony was presented at the hearing. During the Senate deliberations, the Idaho ACLU testified against the bill.

Supporting testimony was provided by Cornerstone Institute, Right to Life, the Idaho Medical Association and attorney Bob Aldridge.

This is a tremendous victory for the pro-Life movement in Idaho. Such overwhelming votes should make it clear to the Death Lobby that they are not welcome in our beloved state.
