The Xs and Os of how this all transpired are at this point irrelevant. What is important is that Gov. Brown and the Legislature’s majority have yet again failed to “promote the general welfare.” Therefore, rather than rehash the details that are readily available to all online or the local library, we present you with the bishops’ statement on this tragedy for an authentically and official Catholic take on the subject.] The bishops of California, have issued the following state- ment after Governor Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown, Jr., signed ABx2-15 (Eggman, D-Stockton) legalizing assisted suicide: A Funny Thing Happened on The physician-assisted suicide legislation (ABx2-15) signed by Governor Brown makes it legal to prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to assist terminally ill patients to take their own life.
