Dore Testimony Against HB 1325
Dear Legislators:
I am an attorney in Washington State where assisted suicide is legal. I am also a Democrat. I urge you to not make Washington's mistake.
I have three points:
1. HB 1325 is the same bill as HB 304 in the 2009 session, which was defeated in a 2 to 1 bipartisan vote

- HB 1325 is exactly the same bill as HB 304 in the 2009 session. The only exception is the proposed effective date.
- In 2009, when HB 304 was defeated, the Democrats controlled the House. The vote to defeat HB 304 was 2 to 1 in a bipartisan vote: 242 to 113.
- 100 Democrats and 142 Republicans voted to defeat the bill. To verify, please see this link: http://choiceisanillusion.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/nh_hb_304_vote_breakdown_001.pdf
