Stop PAS MD

Coalition to defeat physician assisted suicide legislation in Maryland.

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

Important, poignant piece from the Maryland Psychiatric Society's President Dr. Carol Vidal. Simply put - providing a lethal drug to a patient without a proper psychiatric evaluation is simply malpractice - and is exactly what this bill would do.

THIS WEEKEND! Tell Senate committee and Senate president no assisted suicide - before it’s too late. https://t.co/9IJTQANeqP

I want to thank all members of the House and Government Operations and Judiciary committees who took serious interest in the concerns raised by my testimony. Implications for the practice of psychiatry are profound. @MarylandSociety

Dr. Holly Dahlman, Owner and CEO of Green Spring Internal Medicine here in Maryland, points out that #PAS is incompatible with the @AmerMedicalAssn's Code of Ethics in her testimony before the Maryland House. Listen here.

Dr. Anne Hanson, MD, Maryland Psychiatric Society, answers questions from the Committee on the dangers of PAS in the prison system during today's testimony. Hear more about her experience from the hearing.

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

Sahayini Kumar, a primary care physician in Baltimore shares her concern that the End of Life Options Act opens a slippery slope from giving people "the right to die" to "the duty to die." Listen to her full testimony about why she opposes PAS in Maryland.

While out of state interests push this dangerous bill forward, Maryland residents remain steadfast in their opposition and concern. Read more about why locals are concerned about the End of Life Options Act. https://t.co/fTDEZ3vomq

@Willcsmithjr @wbaltv11 The numbers don't lie. More than twice as many people in Maryland made their way to Annapolis to voice their opposition to the bill than for it. There is clear majority against this bill and we urge JPR members to vote against this dangerous legislation.

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

Thank you to everyone who came out to Annapolis in opposition to the End of Life Options Act. It isn't compassionate legislation... it's deadly, @Willcsmithjr. Great insights from those on the ground in @wbaltv11's segment today. #stopPASMaryland

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

Even though opponents to PAS came out in larger numbers, @Willcsmithjr, @jwaldstreicher and the JPR Committee did not ask ANY member of the MAPAS coalition ANY questions on this "extremely important" topic!

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

Thank you, Sen. Smith, for encouraging Sen. McKay to take his time with his questions. We agree that this is an “extremely important” issue. We only wish that Maryland residents were being given more than one minute to testify on this bill…

@baltsunopinion Great piece @CassillyforMD34

“I oppose SB.443 because it bankrupts the doctor-patient relationship and promotes a culture of death with a devastating ripple effect” Dr. Sandy Christiansen, Director of the Maryland chapter of the American Academy of Medical Ethics.

“Everything we ever learned in medical school was for healing the sick and promoting wellbeing. No doctor or healthcare provider is a death expert” Dr. Janet Conway, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

“As a pharmacist, I took an oath and promised to consider the welfare of humanity. Relief of suffering is my primary concern… legalizing PAS is not acceptable medical care or good public policy” Christine Sybert, PharmaD

[Maryland Catholic Conference @mdcatholic]

The head of Compassion and Choices told a Maryland Senate committee in a hearing on whether to legalize physician assisted suicide: “If we could stop using ‘suicide’ it would be very helpful.” Changing the name doesn’t mean it’s not suicide. No to SB443.@StopPASMaryland #mdga2024

[Stop PAS MD @StopPASMaryland]

We’re here at the Maryland State House ready to testify in opposition to PAS. Follow along for updates from our advocates!

[Joseph Marine @DrJMarine]

Maryland residents: Please contact your legislators and let them know that we do not need HB403/SB443 in our state. @StopPASMaryland https://t.co/YjPvKfGTkO
