TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey judge put a temporary hold on a new law allowing terminally ill patients to seek life-ending drugs.

The order means that New Jersey’s recently enacted measure cannot be enforced by the state attorney general and comes in response to a lawsuit brought by a doctor practicing in the state.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who signed the bill in April, said Thursday that Attorney General Gurbir Grewal would release guidance for residents in light of the order and vowed to oppose the lawsuit in court.

“We’re going to fight it,” Murphy said.

2. Lovely...so make sick people suffer more.

Maybe the judge wants the ill to buy guns to kill themselves...the NRA will reward him for his decision, I'm sure. The Catholic Church will also give him a thumbs up, no doubt. Reason number 1,000,000 why I am an atheist. Keep your religion off of my body!

4. So sick of these Christian crusaders.

I hope one of them is stricken with a terminal, debilitating, extremely painful illness from which there is no relief and see how they feel about it.
