Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is drawing condemnation from pro-life advocates who say he was wrong to sign a bill that puts vulnerable patients at risks and has physicians promoting suicide. The measure didn't legalize assisted suicide but contained suicide-promoting provisions pro-life groups opposed.

AB 2747 originally had the purpose of legalizing assisted suicide but was amended in committee to urge doctors to inform patients how they can legally end their lives.

Brian Johnston, the head of the California Pro-Life Council and someone who has served on panels helping the elderly, condemned the governor.

He tells LifeNews.com the measure Schwarzenegger signed will result in the deaths of thousands of patients. the rest
