Congressman Wenstrup |
Yesterday on September 27,
Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) held a press conference announcing the
introduction of a resolution (H.Con.Res.80)
expressing the sense of Congress that assisted suicide “puts everyone, including
those most vulnerable, at risk of deadly harm and undermines the integrity of
the health care system.”
Nine Members of Congress joined
Congressman Wenstrup as original cosponsors of the resolution: Rep. Lou Correa
(D-CA), Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (R-MD), Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA), Rep. Darin
LaHood (R-IL), Rep. James Langevin (D-RI), Rep. Ralph Abraham, M.D. (R-LA), Rep.
Daniel Lipinski (D-IL), Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-PA), and Rep. Tom Suozzi
(D-NY).
