The Catholic Bishops of Connecticut, along with members of the health care community and those representing the elderly and disabled, strongly oppose this legislation for various reasons. These groups believe that the right of individual choice is far overshadowed by the potential negative impact of this legislation upon our society.
We need your assistance in defeating this legislation currently before the Judiciary Committee. If you live in the district of a member of the committee - please contact them! You can find the list of members and contact information here.
