| Description | WASHINGTON (AP) -- Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden moved Tuesday to block a Kansas senator's attempt to derail Oregon's landmark law allowing doctor-assisted suicide.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., last month introduced legislation to bar doctors from prescribing federally controlled drugs for use in assisted suicide -- the first legislative assault on assisted suicide since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Oregon's law in January.
On Tuesday, as Congress returned from a monthlong break, Wyden took to the Senate floor to announce he would block the bill indefinitely through a legislative hold. |
