Here is a link to a post by Wesley Smith discussing the efforts of disability rights organizations to oppose the assisted suicide initiative in Massachusetts. Smith notes: “Media like to portray assisted suicide opponents as primarily religious or pro life. But the facts don’t fit that supposed story. Disability rights advocates–who are mostly politically liberal and secular in outlook–are [an] essential part of the anti-assisted suicide coalition, as are medical, nursing, and hospice professionals, few of which oppose abortion.”
