Statistics show Illinois abortion providers aren't complying with state laws that require them to report abortions and the complications of those procedures.
State law requires that details on abortion procedures and any related problems be reported, but Bill Beckman of Illinois Right to Life tells OneNewsNow there is proof of little compliance.
"According to the Guttmacher Institute, there were about 7,000 more abortions in Illinois in 2008 than the state thought there were," Beckman notes. "The other bad news is the fact that there's very little oversight and proper record-keeping related to what's going on with abortionists -- and especially with regard to abortions that go bad."
State records cannot even account for the deaths of women and girls who had abortions. But failing to report those procedures and their complications, he says, is a violation of state law that is subject to revocation of operating licenses. He notes, however, that no disciplinary action has been taken.
"There's been a complete lack of interest with the abortion advocates in charge of the government in the state of Illinois, just as what was going on in Pennsylvania," the Illinois Right to Life spokesman laments. "It's like there's no interest in enforcing the law against abortionists; they're given a complete pass."
His mention of Pennsylvania refers to that state having not inspected the clinic of abortionist Kermit Gosnell for nearly two decades. Gosnell is currently in jail for the death of one mother, along with charges of murdering seven viable babies who were born alive during abortions.
