Church is becoming a target of proponents of a ballot initiative that would legalize doctor-assisted suicide in Washington state. The Church denies any inappropriateness in anti-suicide efforts, which now include ads featuring actor Martin Sheen, a Catholic. "Catholic Church Funnels Abuse Money into I-1000 Opposition," claims a headline on the website of Compassion & Choices, which is pushing the initiative.
