Judge Shields Catholic Providers From Illinois Suicide Law
A federal judge temporarily shields Catholic entities, including the Archdiocese of Chicago and two Religious Sisters, from Illinois’s physician-assisted suicide law as litigation proceeds, delaying enforcement against them while allowing the policy to take effect elsewhere. Proponents say the law expands autonomy and provides end-of-life options, while Catholic groups warn it coerces conscience and threatens vulnerable patients, prompting ongoing legal challenges.
