New York-style abortion-till-birth legislation proposed by Illinois Democrats

New York-style abortion-till-birth legislation proposed by Illinois Democrats
The Thomas More Society has released a startling analysis of the Democrat-sponsored House Bill 2495 and Senate Bill 1942, labeled by abortion promoters as the "Reproductive Health Act." The proposed bill, along with a partner component, House Bill 2467 and Senate Bill 1594, would comprise "the most radical piece of abortion legislation that has ever been introduced in Illinois, and...the most radical proposed in any state to date," according to the Thomas More Society's detailed analysis, by constitutional law expert Paul Benjamin Linton.

"The Democratic supermajority's proposals now pending in the Illinois General Assembly are the most pro-abortion legislative measures of their type in the country," said Peter Breen, Vice President and Senior Counsel for the Thomas More Society, and former Illinois House Minority Floor Leader. "The barbaric procedures promoted by this legislation are nothing short of infanticide. These bills go well beyond the recent New York law and would turn Illinois into a third-trimester abortion destination and an underage abortion haven. Governor J.B. Pritzker promised that his Illinois Democrats would turn the state into the most 'progressive' in the country on abortion, and these bills deliver on that violent promise: Pritzker and his Democratic supermajorities would convert the 'Land of Lincoln' into the 'Abortion Capital of America'."
