NY Gov. Hochul to sign bill to legalize physician-assisted suicide: ‘Who am I to deny you?’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she plans to sign a measure to legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill patients under a deal reached with state legislative leaders.
The governor intends to sign the bill next year after working to add a series of «guardrails,» she wrote in an op-ed in the Albany Times Union announcing her plans. The measure, approved by state lawmakers during their regulation session earlier this year, will go into effect six months after it is signed.
Hochul, who is Catholic, said she listened to New Yorkers in the «throes of pain and suffering,» as well as their children, while also hearing out «individuals of many faiths who believe that deliberately shortening one’s life violates the sanctity of life.»
«I was taught that God is merciful and compassionate, and so must we be,» she wrote. «This includes permitting a merciful option to those facing the unimaginable and searching for comfort in their final months in this life.»

New York will join a dozen other states and Washington, D.C., in adopting laws allowing physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill adults, including Delaware and Illinois, which each approved legislation this year that will go into effect in 2026.
Several other countries, including Canada, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Australia and Colombia, have also legalized so-called death with dignity.
New York’s bill, dubbed the Medical Aid in Dying Act, requires a terminally ill person who is expected to die within six months to make a written request for life-ending drugs. Two witnesses must sign the request to ensure the patient is not being coerced, and the request would need to be approved by the patient’s attending physician and a consulting physician.
The bill’s sponsors and legislative leaders have agreed to add provisions to mandate that a medical doctor affirms that the person «truly had less than six months to live,» along with confirmation from a psychologist or psychiatrist that the patient is capable of making the decision without being under duress.
«The Medical Aid in Dying Act will afford terminally ill New Yorkers the right to spend their final days not under sterile hospital lights but with sunlight streaming through their bedroom window,» Hochul wrote.
«The right to spend their final days not hearing the droning hum of hospital machines but instead the laughter of their grandkids echoing in the next room. The right to tell their family they love them and be able to hear those precious words in return,» she added.

Hochul said the bill will include a mandatory five-day waiting period in addition to a written and recorded oral request to «confirm free will is present.» Outpatient facilities linked to religious hospitals may choose not to offer medically-assisted suicide.
The governor also said she wants the bill to only apply to New York residents.
Earlier this month, a federal appeals court ruled that a similar law in New Jersey only covers state residents and that people from other jurisdictions cannot seek medical aid-in dying in the Garden State.
«Death brings good things to an end, but rarely neatly,» U.S. Circuit Court Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote in the opinion. «Many terminally ill patients face a grim reality: imminent, painful death. Some may want to avert that suffering by enlisting a doctor’s help to end their own lives. New Jersey lets its residents make that choice—but only its residents.»
Hochul said on Wednesday that supporting the New York bill was one of the toughest decisions she has made as governor.

«Who am I to deny you or your loved one what they’re begging for at the end of their life?» she said. «I couldn’t do that any longer.»
The legislation was first introduced in 2016 but failed to receive approval for years as religious groups such as the New York State Catholic Conference sought to block the measure, arguing that it would devalue human life and undermine the physician’s role as a healer.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan and New York’s bishops said in a statement after Hochul’s announcement that her support for the bill «signals our government’s abandonment of its most vulnerable citizens, telling people who are sick or disabled that suicide in their case is not only acceptable, but is encouraged by our elected leaders.»
But supporters of the legislation contended that it would reduce suffering for terminally ill people and allow them to die on their own terms.

‘Seditious Six’ Democrat lawmakers probed by Trump threaten legal battle

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The six Democrats who urged U.S. service members to «refuse illegal orders» are threatening a legal battle with President Donald Trump over what they see as a «weaponization» of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
On Wednesday, four House Democrats — Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo.; Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H.; Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; and Chris Deluzio, D-Pa. — hinted they had prepared for a case of their own after they escaped an indictment Tuesday evening.
«Yesterday, the Trump Department of Justice tried and failed to indict us on criminal charges based on a video that we filmed last year simply reminding our fellow service members to follow the law and the Constitution,» Crow said. «They failed, and they will always fail.

«We are taking names,» Crow said. «We are creating lists. My lawyers just sent a letter today to the Department of Justice, putting them on notice that there will be costs.»
Crow did not expand on what kind of suit he would pursue.
The «Seditious Six,» as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called the group of military veteran Democrats, posted a video to social media in November 2025 urging service members to ignore commands that violated the Constitution.
«Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home,» they urged. «Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.»
In response, the Department of Justice launched a probe of the group, weighing whether their calls had amounted to sedition.
After those charges fell flat Tuesday, Democrats in the Senate who had also participated in the video similarly blasted the DOJ’s probe.

«This is outrageous,» said Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz. «I want to be clear about something. This is not a good news story. This is a story about how Donald Trump and his cronies are trying to break our system in order to silence anyone who lawfully speaks out against them.»
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who also appeared in the video, echoed Kelly’s framing.
«The president has used our justice system to weaponize (it) against his perceived enemies,» Slotkin said. «I think that we’ve come to a really sad moment in America, where the paradigm of leadership has become completely reversed in 2026. Instead of looking to our elected leaders, like the president, as setting an example, it is now up to individual citizens in their private capacity to uphold the values of democracy, free speech, liberty, justice.»
When asked how he would distinguish between political prosecution and a good-faith effort to uphold the law, Crow pointed to past statements from the administration but declined to offer a litmus test for future cases.
«I’ve learned to take Donald Trump’s words and to listen to him,» Crow said. «He actually came right out and said what he thought about this and said this is because he wants to silence political opposition. So, let’s actually just listen to what the man says.»

Trump has accused the six lawmakers of being «traitors» who engaged in «sedition at the highest level» and «should be in jail.»
He even suggested they should be executed over the video, although he later retracted that comment.
Crow declined to answer questions about when he would press his legal strategy and hinted that it might depend on what Trump does next.

«So, that’s actually a ball that’s in the Trump administration’s court,» Crow said. «We’ve been very clear about our position and that it needs to stop. If it doesn’t stop, then we’ll take all necessary actions.»
The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Joaquín Sabina cumple 77 años: el retrato de un artista que eligió retirarse en la cima

Joaquín Sabina cumple 77 años. Nacido en Úbeda, Jaén, el 12 de febrero de 1949, el cantautor, poeta y pintor español celebra un nuevo aniversario tras una vida dedicada a la música, la literatura y el arte. Reconocido por su voz rasgada y letras cargadas de ironía, se retiró oficialmente de los escenarios en 2025, tras una extensa gira de despedida. La noticia de su cumpleaños convoca a fanáticos y colegas de todo el mundo, que recuerdan su legado y su influencia en la cultura hispanohablante.
A lo largo de su carrera, editó 17 discos de estudio y 7 en directo lo que lo llevó a forjar una trayectoria repleta de éxitos. Según información de RockFM, su último álbum, “Lo niego todo”, marcó el cierre de una etapa y fue presentado en una gira internacional que agotó localidades en España, América Latina y ciudades como Londres y París.
De acuerdo con CMTV, Sabina comenzó su camino musical en los 70′, tras exiliarse en Londres durante la dictadura franquista, y regresó a España para consolidarse como una de las figuras más influyentes de la música popular. El artista colaboró con músicos como Joan Manuel Serrat, Fito Páez y Leiva, y escribió clásicos como “19 días y 500 noches”, “Y nos dieron las diez” y “Contigo”.
Según Vanitatis, Sabina afronta su retiro con estabilidad económica y una vida tranquila junto a su esposa Jimena Coronado, quien gestiona gran parte de sus actividades. La empresa Ultramarinos Finos, propiedad del cantante y de Coronado, administra sus derechos de autor y activos inmobiliarios, lo que le permite mantener una situación financiera saneada.

A pesar de haber reducido sus actividades tras el retiro, continúa vinculado a proyectos relacionados con la investigación y el desarrollo, e invierte en agrupaciones de interés económico en el ámbito científico.
Durante su juventud, Sabina se definió como una figura rebelde. Nació en una familia tradicional, hijo de un inspector de policía y una ama de casa, y creció en un entorno marcado por la disciplina.

Según relató en entrevistas recogidas por Esquire y ElNacional.cat, su relación con sus padres estuvo llena de conflictos. El propio Sabina recordó que fue la “oveja negra” de la familia y que sus padres nunca llegaron a presenciar su éxito artístico, algo que considera una de sus grandes penas personales.
En los años 70′, tras enfrentarse al régimen franquista, se exilió en Londres, donde vivió bajo el nombre de Mariano Zugasti y conoció a personajes que marcaron su vida, como Sonia, una mujer a la que describió como intensa y misteriosa.

La vida sentimental de Sabina también estuvo llena de episodios singulares. Contrajo matrimonio por primera vez en Londres con la argentina Lucía Inés Correa. En su regreso a España, formó pareja con Isabel Oliart, con quien tuvo dos hijas.
Su relación más duradera es con Jimena Coronado, fotógrafa peruana que fue su compañera y apoyo incondicional en los momentos más difíciles. Sabina reconoció que la presencia de Coronado fue vital para superar etapas complicadas, incluidas enfermedades y caídas que marcaron sus últimos años de carrera.

Su obra trascendió la música. Además de sus discos, publicó libros de poemas y colaboró en proyectos literarios y audiovisuales. El documental “Sintiéndolo mucho”, dirigido por Fernando León de Aranoa, expuso la faceta más íntima del artista, mostrando su vida cotidiana, sus amistades y su proceso creativo.
La película, estrenada en 2022, fue bien recibida por la crítica y permitió a los seguidores conocer detalles inéditos sobre la personalidad y los miedos del cantante.

Entre las curiosidades de su vida, destaca su afición por el tabaco y su reconocida pasión por el Atlético de Madrid. Sabina nunca se consideró parte del movimiento cultural de la Movida Madrileña, aunque compartió escenario con figuras de la época en bares emblemáticos como La Mandrágora.
En una entrevista, Joan Manuel Serrat, su amigo y colaborador, reveló que Sabina prefiere el contacto personal y rara vez atiende el teléfono, delegando esa tarea en su esposa. Esta costumbre refuerza el perfil bohemio y reservado que el artista cultivó durante décadas.

El cantante vivió episodios de salud que pusieron en riesgo su carrera. Sufrió un infarto cerebral en 2001 y una caída sobre el escenario en 2020 que lo llevó a la unidad de cuidados intensivos. A pesar de estos contratiempos, siguió componiendo, grabando y actuando hasta su retiro. Las giras de despedida, especialmente la titulada “Hola y adiós”, reunieron a miles de seguidores y cerraron una etapa marcada por la cercanía con su público.
En lo económico, Sabina superó conflictos judiciales con la Agencia Tributaria española, que le exigió el pago de sumas millonarias por derechos de autor. Según Vanitatis, resolvió sus problemas fiscales y consolidó una estructura financiera sólida.

Asimismo, en la actualidad, el cantante, ya retirado, disfruta de la tranquilidad en su residencia madrileña, donde dedica tiempo a la pintura, la literatura y el reencuentro con la vida cotidiana. Como expresó en una reciente entrevista, su mayor deseo es volver a entrar en un bar sin ser reconocido y disfrutar de una cerveza en la barra.
El legado de Joaquín Sabina permanece vigente en la música y la cultura de habla hispana, reflejando una vida de rebeldía, talento y búsqueda de libertad.
77 años de historia, una obra que marcó generaciones y una despedida a la altura de su leyenda. Sabina cierra el telón con libertad, estabilidad y el reconocimiento de millones de seguidores. Su influencia perdura en cada verso, cada canción y cada historia compartida.
