FCLNY is humbly asking you to help stop assisted suicide or MAID from passing in the NYS Senate, and for you to share this outreach letter with others that you think will also make calls. We have a small window of continued opportunity to defeat MAID in the NYS Senate. The bill, S.138, could come up for a NYS Senate floor vote any day, literally. We have identified vulnerable NYS Senators to receive calls from as many registered NY voters as possible. Please call each NYS Senator listed below (in their District and Albany offices). Please ask some of your friends and family to call each of these NYS Senators as well. THESE CALLS MUST BE MADE ASAP, before the NYS Legislative Session ends on THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 2025 Here is a simple draft SCRIPT (Just leave a message if no one answers the phone. You can call after 5 PM, if you can't get to it earlier in the day.) Dear Senator  _______, I am a voting New Yorker, and as a registered NY voter, I am urging you to VOTE NO to the Medical Aid in Dying Act, S.138; not only on my behalf, but on behalf of my colleagues across New York State. Empirical data demonstrates that when MAID is legalized, overall suicide rates significantly increase, including non-assisted suicide rates, in some cases. MAID normalizes suicide and threatens suicide prevention efforts. Every major national disability organization that has taken a stance on assisted suicide opposes MAID. The American Medical Association opposes MAID. Research consistently shows the ineffectiveness of MAID safeguards, including those contained in S.138. The MAID bill contains no ban on lethal drugs being sent across state lines. Please VOTE NO TO S.138. LIST OF CRUCIAL NYS SENATORS TO CALL BY JUNE 12, 2025: 1.

Feminists Choosing Life of New York, Inc., is a statewide human rights organization that advocates for non-violence from conception to natural death. Our supporters across New York recognize the power of peaceful, life-affirming solutions to the distresses vulnerable people experience.  We believe our elderly, infirm and disabled brothers and sisters, pregnant mothers and their unborn children, as well as every person at risk of suicide, deserve our best resources and protection against human rights violations, including the fundamental right to live free from violent destruction— the most basic human right of every member of the human family.  PROGRESSIVE SOCIETIES DO NOT LEGALLY SANCTION AND FUND  KILLING HUMAN BEINGS The pending MAID or Assisted Suicide bills threaten to Violate Human Rights Significantly Increase Overall Suicide Rates, including Non-Assisted Suicide Rates Jeopardize Suicide Prevention Efforts   NY’s MAID bills permit doctors to give qualifying people, including teenagers (18 & 19 year olds) a lethal overdose of drugs to self-administer.  Studies  show “prognostic error is widespread,“ that doctors charged with determining whether an individual qualifies or is plagued with a terminal illness that will cause death within 6 months have an accuracy rate of only 20%.  There is ample  “evidence that patients, including with disabilities, are being denied treatment by insurers and offered assisted suicide instead.” Data reveals that when medical aid in dying is legalized “it immediately becomes the cheapest treatment. Direct coercion is not necessary.” Where insurers “deny or even simply delay approval of expensive life-sustaining treatment,” patients are more susceptible to self-initiated deaths. The current NY MAID bills allow “abusive caregiver s  …[to] steer someone toward it, witness the request, pick up the lethal dose, and even, in the end, give the drug- because when the lethal agents are administered, no witnesses are required.”  Research consistently demonstrates the ineffectiveness of ‘safeguards’ in MAID laws, including those contained in NY’s pending MAID bills. Data demonstrates how purported patient ‘protections’ are readily circumvented, and ultimately fail  to ensure the mental capacity of potential MAID patients, and to protect them from social, familial and financial pressures to end their own lives– to commit suicide.  Every  “prominent national disability organization that takes any position on assisted suicide laws is in opposition.” The American Medical Association opposes MAID.  Robust research demonstrates that legalizing assisted suicide is associated with a “significant increase  in total suicides,” which includes non-assisted suicides.  Studies show rates of self-initiated deaths increase significantly after the legalization of assisted suicide, and that these rates  increase for non-assisted suicides as well, in some cases. No study exists showing any decline in non-assisted suicide rates where MAID is legal. The increase in suicide rates (assisted and non assisted) where MAID proposals are legalized “disproportionately” impact   women .  Research  “estimates suggest assisted suicide laws increase total suicide rates by about 18% overall. For women, the estimated increase is 40%.” Increasing evidence  shows that legalizing assisted suicide or MAID is a “threat to suicide prevention.” Suicide prevention  programs are effective. The “suicide rate in New York  has increased by 34.9% over the past 20 years”  In NY, s uicide  is the “2nd leading cause of death for ages 25-34” and the “3rd leading cause of death for ages 10-24.”  Every “16 hours, someone dies from suicide in  New York City ” According to recent statistical analysis  on suicide in the United States, U.S. suicide rates reached “record highs” in 2024, “ rates reaching levels not seen since 1941.” “This marks a concerning 30% increase over the past two decades,” “indicating a persistent upward trend.”  Suicide   “deaths among 10- to 24-year-olds increased by 62% from 2007 to 2021 .” Research   released during the summer of 2024 “found that suicide is rising dramatically in preteens as young as 8 years old as well, with an 8.2% annual increase from 2008 to 2022 .” Legalizing MAID threatens to Normalize Suicide Increase Overall Suicide Rates Jeopardize Suicide Prevention Efforts Violate the Human Rights of all New Yorkers, especially Women and the Disabled  We can do better. We must do better.  On behalf of the weakest and most marginalized among us, across New York, please reject the violence of MAID.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Michele Sterlace-Accorsi, (716) 864 1454, info@fclny.org Rochester, NY, May 1, 2025– The proposed Medical Aid in Dying Act ( MAID ) is moving forward in the New York State Legislature, with Assembly Bill A136 having already passed in the Assembly and been referred to the Senate. Diverse groups call upon the NYS Legislature to VOTE NO to MAID, including Feminists Choosing Life of New York (FCLNY), a statewide human rights organization that promotes non-violence. FCLNY is a member of the New York Alliance Against Assisted Suicide , comprised of diverse groups including the Center for Disability Rights, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the NY Association of Independent Living, all of which oppose MAID.  According to Cecelia Lester, President of Feminists Choosing Life of New York, “ evidence that physician assisted suicide does more harm than good has only mounted  in the last 10 years.   Every  major national disability organization that has taken a stance on assisted suicide laws stands in opposition to them. The   American Medical Association  is a long-standing opponent of MAID.”  “In the name of compassion and self governance, MAID threatens to violate human rights,  increase overall suicide rates, including non-assisted suicide rates, and jeopardize suicide prevention efforts, all of which disproportionately impact women , the disabled  and low-income  populations,” states FCLNY’s Executive Director Michele Sterlace-Accorsi. “Despite wording in the pending MAID bills that a self-administered drug overdose by a person who qualifies under MAID ‘shall not be construed for any purpose to constitute suicide [or] assisted suicide,’ it is precisely that- suicide,” Sterlace-Accorsi says. Empirical evidence  demonstrates that where assisted suicide is legalized, total suicide rates significantly increase, including non-assisted suicide rates in some cases. Further, per the Director of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre, Oxford University; "No study has found a reduction in non-assisted suicide" rates where MAID is legal. Data  outlined by the Centre for Economic Policy Research show that assisted suicide laws increase total suicide rates by 18% overall and by 40% for women, with non-assisted suicide rates rising by 6% overall and 13% for women.   According to   recent statistical analysis  on suicide in the United States, U.S. suicide rates reached “record highs” in 2024, “rates reaching levels not seen since 1941.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report s uicide   “deaths among 10-24 year olds  increased by 62% from 2007 to 2021 .”   Research   released during the summer of 2024 by the Yale School of Medicine “found that suicide is rising dramatically in preteens as young as 8 years old,” with an “ 8.2% annual increase from 2008 to 2022 .” The suicide rate in   N Y  has increased by “34.9% over the past 20 years.”  NY’s Office of Mental Health states s uicide  is the “2nd leading cause of death for ages 25-34” and the “3rd leading cause of death for ages 10-24.”  “As thinking, loving people how can we do anything but work to decrease rates of suicide?” states Sterlace-Accorsi. “ How could we possibly enact laws that serve to increase lethal harm to our brothers and sisters?” she asks. Further, Lester contends that qualifying restrictions in NY’s pending MAID bills will more likely than not be grossly expanded. “The slippery slope is real,” Lester states.  “ Canada has since been exposed  for providing MAID to citizens who simply could not afford their medical bills or housing and the nation is poised to expand physician assisted suicide for mental illness  in March of 2027.   MAID is now a leading cause of death  in Canada,” she adds. “On behalf of the weakest and most vulnerable among us, NYS Senators should reject the violence of MAID,” says both Lester and Sterlace-Accorsi.  XXX
