Slippery Meet Slope: Colorado Assisted Suicide Bill Drops Wait Time To 48 Hours

Medically Assisted Dying, which used to be a war crime and opposed by the American left as a form of Capitol Punishment, is the Depopulation Prog’s new Hot Ticket. With too many of the wrong sort of people on the planet, why not normalize suicide and then give them a reason to want to kill themselves?

Make people miserable, convince them to end it all, and then pat each other on the back about the deep well of empathy you’ve tapped into.

Democrat Empathy, for those keeping score at home, has produced record debt, inflation, economic misery, crime, and chaos. In the name of protecting Ukrainians, it scuttled a peace deal early on in the conflict, resulting in tens of thousands more wounded and dead. Lib-Empathy is what powers the sirens and lights as depleted police forces race to record another inner-city murder. It ends babies’ lives before they are born. Open border empathy has drawn millions of third-worlders into cities, straining resources, spreading disease, creating crime, gang wars, drug abuse, and overdose deaths.

The Left’s solution to all the misery they’ve caused is to pass legislation that will inevitably lead to the systematic depopulation of the autistic, sick children, mental health patients, people who are a strain on the public health system, low-income folks, retirees, veterans with PTSD, mental health patients, and the homeless. That’s not an exaggeration. Every one of those notions is either in practice in states or nations with medically assisted dying or has been suggested (tee’d up) by experts who are setting the table for the NWO concentration camp: the entire planet disguised as 15-minute prisons with walkable bug-food cafes watched by the all-caring A-eye of the surveillance state.

Death comes for us all; it is inevitable, but time has shown us that with Assisted suicide on the cultural menu, it could come a lot sooner than you think. Ecuador’s highest court has effectively authorized Euthanasia without consent – where the person is unable to give it (incapacitated, coma, etc). It is a small leap from requiring a family’s consent to the always fiscally-stretched state-run health system clearing the cost of that patient from the books to “save” taxpayers money. Boom. Gone.

This sort of abuse of chemical death is not just likely but expected.

In a similar vein, the Netherlands has justified the killing of chronically or terminally ill children without their knowledge or consent. Post-birth abortion by other means sounds like a stretch until you remember that ethicists have long argued that parents should have the legal right to kill their living children during the first several years of life. Leaping from the parents to the State was probably the plan all along.

In Colorado, they have legislation that would reduce the amount of time between being convinced you should kill yourself and medically assisted dying to 48 hours. The previous mandatory waiting period was 15 days (Hawaii’ shortened theirs to five days last year); because you can’t give them too much time to think about it, they might decide to live.

This should get those death-by-medical suicide numbers closer to Canada, which has been leading the pack on the speedy delivery of death for an increasingly longer list of ‘ailments’ like being economically disadvantaged (even if that is a result of deliberate government policy).

It’s the slippery slope. It is why I object to MAiD and assisted dying defined by the State. It will creep, expand, and be abused. And as awful as a terminal illness with chronic pain might be (yes, I have seen that in person), the threat to future generations of the liberty of the otherwise healthy is greater. It is a policy that, once allowed, will end with Euthanasia as a way to get rid of whomever the State defines as a burden sold as empathy.

They will claim to be doing you and them a favor.
