New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill into law this week that gives doctors in the state the right to decline to participate in physician-assisted suicide if doing so is a violation of their conscience or religious beliefs.

After the Democrat signed the law on Tuesday, a group of Christian medical professionals who had challenged the stateโ€™s new physician-assisted suicide law in December declared victory and filed a court record seeking to dismiss their lawsuit.
