Bill Will Remove “Faith Healing” as a Defense

The Oregon Senate is now considering a bill to remove faith healing as a defense.  Clackamas County District Attorney John Foote helped write it. “This Bill will level the playing field so that all parents will run by the same rules. It’s not gong to fix the problem by itself, but it’s going to be another step.” The followers of Christ Church in Oregon City has three cases where children died, because their parents didn't seek medical care and instead used their faith in God to heal their children. There has been little opposition to the Bill.
