SB 5179 is scheduled for a vote Friday at 1:00 P.M.
SB 5179, the expansion to Washington's Death with Dignity Act will likely be voted on Friday 3/24/23 by your House Representatives.
Remind them that SB 5179 DOES NOT protect life, nor is it compassionate care for our neighbors with terminal illnesses. "Please vote no!"
Please email your representatives and ask them to vote no. Action Center (votervoice.net)
SB 5179 increases access to the “Death with Dignity Act” by decreasing the waiting period from 15 days to 7 days and allowing for a wide range of providers to prescribe lethal drugs that can be sent via mail. This is NOT compassionate care.
