ACTION ALERT
The Freedom of Choice Act (HB2354) did not receive a vote in the Human Services Committee on Wednesday and has now been re-scheduled for a hearing on March 11th at 8:00 am.
Now is the time to educate the members of the Human Services Committee on the dangers of the Freedom Of Choice Act (FOCA) and urge them to vote "NO" on HB 2354. If Illinois should pass this bill, abortion would be enshrined as a right in Illinois. We would not be able to have any of the following protections:
1. Partial-birth abortion would be legal
2. There would be no conscience clause for health care workers in Illinois.
3. There would be no informed consent/waiting period.
4. There would be no parental involvement.
5. Taxpayers would pay for abortions.
6. Presently Illinois has a physician only for abortion law. That would be nullified, opening the doors for non-physician abortions.
The FOCA bill is still in the Human Services Committee scheduled to be heard March 11th at 8:00 am.
Now is the time to contact the members of the Human Services Committee and urge them to vote "NO" on HB 2354, the Freedom of Choice Act!
