The right to die: keep beliefs and votes separate

To the editor: Any legislator who lets his or her “deep personal beliefs” get in the way of making legislative decisions should resign immediately. (“Suicide bill pulled before vote, ” July 8, and “A right to die for Californians,” Editorial, July 9)

There are many Californians who are begging for a “right to die” bill to be passed and it is reprehensible that these few elected officials should place their religious beliefs before their duty as government officials.

California is not a religious state and should not be governed as such.
