Pro-abortion lawmakers in Illinois introduced legislation that would remove all protections for the preborn, allow infanticide following an attempted abortion, and potentially remove all conscience protections for pro-life healthcare workers, among other proposals in this sweeping set of pro-abortion bills.
House Bill 2495 states “Every individual who becomes pregnant has a fundamental right to continue the pregnancy and give birth or to have an abortion, and to make autonomous decisions about how to exercise that right.” It also states “A fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights under the laws of this State.” The bill also includes multiple means of encouraging abortion for minors, undermining the parental notification law (which companion bill HB 2467 would repeal) and allowing the Department of Children and Family Services to use public funds to pay for abortions.
