  3. End-of-life views are lopsided in support of the right to choose 'death with dignity'

    There does not seem to be any middle ground on the issue of physician-assisted suicide. In fact, going by the reactions to Friday's column on that topic, there is no support for <em>any</em> ground other than that for the right of individuals to make end-of-life decisions for themselves.

  6. Save thousands of animals and millions of dollars

    When 45,000 dogs and cats are tragically killed yearly in Maryland, costing taxpayers over $8 million, a remedy is long overdue. That's why Sen. Joanne Benson and I sponsored House Bill 767 and Senate Bill 820 in the 2013 General Assembly.
