Requiring the broken bodies of abortion victims to be humanely buried is simply common decency. The abortion industry’s desire to deny the innocent unborn even the right to a proper burial reveals where their allegiances lie: not with basic decency, but with their bottom line. Regardless of all obstacles thrown in our way, Pro-Life Ohio will never cease our advocacy until the dignity of every precious and irreplaceable human life is both respected and protected under law.

- “The neural pathways for pain perception via the cortical subplate are present as early as 12 weeks gestation, and via the thalamus as early as 7-8 weeks gestation.”
- “The cortex is not necessary for pain to be experienced.”
- “Consciousness is mediated by subcortical structures, such as the thalamus and brainstem, which begin to develop during the first trimester.”
- “The neurochemicals in utero do not cause fetal unconsciousness.”
- “The use of fetal analgesia suppresses the hormonal, physiologic, and behavioral responses to pain, avoiding the potential for both short- and long-term sequelae.”

New IL Bill Would Give Public Health Department the Power to put Unvaccinated in Forced Isolation
Rep Deb Conroy (D-46) |
HB 4640's text reads:
To prevent the spread of a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, the [Public Health] Department may, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, isolate or quarantine persons whose refusal to undergo observation and monitoring results in uncertainty regarding whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a dangerously contagious or infectious disease or otherwise poses a danger to the public's health.
Additionally, HB 4640 would create a data collection network between state and local governments and would grant the state "emergency access to medical or health information, records, or data" including electronic health records.
Many pro-life advocates object to the currently-available COVID-19 vaccines for conscience reasons. All of the currently-available vaccines were tested and/or manufactured with the use of cell lines harvested from aborted babies. For this reason, pro-life advocates would likely be disproportionately targeted for "isolation or quarantine" if state officials deem that their refusal to take COVID-19 vaccines "poses a danger to public health."
As of Monday evening, over 4700 people had filed witness slips opposing this legislation. Witness slips can be filed at this link.
The House Human Services Committee is scheduled to hear this bill on Wed. Feb 2 at 9AM.

Montana Calls on State Supreme Court to Overturn State Right to Abortion
- a 20-week abortion ban
- a requirement that all women seeking abortion be given the opportunity to see ultrasound images of their children
- a bill that would regulate the abortion pill by requiring informed consent and prohibiting distribution through the mail
“All three laws unquestionably enhance the health and safety of Montana women. And they represent basic regulations of the practice of medicine—bread-and-butter exercises of [state government].But Planned Parenthood’s business is abortion, and these laws require modest changes to its business practices. So Plaintiffs asked the courts to do what they couldn’t through the legislative process—save them the trouble of providing better care to Montana women.”
AG Knudsen also argued that the court should completely overturn the 1999 ruling that found a right to abortion in the state constitution, writing,
“In reversing the district court’s order, the state Supreme Court should also overrule the 1999 Armstrong precedent. This decision invented from whole cloth a state constitutional right to elective abortion even though the framers of the Montana Constitution were perfectly clear that decisions about abortion policy are to be firmly in the hands of the Legislature.”
