You still don't know what you're talking about.

It's been legal in Oregon for nearly 20 years.

Passed by a citizen's initiative. Twice, because nay-sayers like you forced a second vote. The second vote won by a larger margin than the first.

In case you care to learn something, try here - Death with Dignity Act

Nope not a woman or gay so not following you. I don't see any freedoms that any of those people have ever lost from Republicans either.

Prior to this law, nobody in California killed themselves?

My sympathy on the loss of your grandmother. Ovarian cancer is a particularly awful way to die.

In case you actually want to read more about it (which I'm sure you do not):

Wow, war on drugs. You have a problem with that? I didn't think anyone would have had a problem with substance abuse laws.

Marriage has always been a right of anyone. The definition of marriage had been between a man and a woman. No one was keeping anyone from getting married. I knew of gay men that had married women. Noting stopping anyone before the courts took it upon themselves to interpret the law. The Constitution does not speak about marriage. it was a ruling that should have never happened.

Abortion is another ruling the the constitution does not talk about. Should have never happened. The court should have been silent on the matter. Planned Parenthood on the other hand was created by a woman who wanted to do one thing, kill off all people of color in this country.

No one has ever kept a woman from deciding to have or not have children. If women don't want to have kids then they should not be having sex, simple as that.

Let me know when you find a time machine. The rest of us have joined the 21st century.

Not sure why anyone would be against allowing a terminally ill person to choose when they want to die with dignity. This is a personal choice and should be legal in every state in the US.

Exactly, as a conservative, I can't see why anyone would be against this. This is probably one of the few things I agree with left wingers with.
