Certain religious hospitals will not have to comply with the State of Illinois’ new assisted suicide law after a federal court issued an order on Friday, August 21.
“Illinois’s new law forces faithful health care providers to cooperate in the state’s suicide promotion scheme, and this agreement protects our clients from this grave assault on their religious beliefs,” said Peter Breen, executive vice president and head of litigation at the Thomas More Society, in a Monday, August 24 press release. The Thomas More Society is a Catholic law firm based in Illinois.
