New Illinois Pro-Abortion Bill Out of Committee, Let’s STOP This Bill

-By Warner Todd Huston

HB6205 was passed out of the House Human Services Committee in Springfield today, March 10, by a vote of 5 to 2. This bill is one of the most radical pro-abortion bills ever sponsored in the Illinois State House but we still have a chance to stop it by encouraging our various representatives to vote “no” on this dangerous piece of legislation.

HB6205 will put in place some of the most radical abortion rules ever in the state of Illinois should it pass. The bill would :

  • Make abortion a “right”
  • It would prohibit any local restrictions
  • It would provide that a woman could sue any doctor that refused to perpetrate an abortion
  • It would force doctors and hospitals that won’t perpetrate abortions for religious reasons to perform them despite their consciences
  • It makes it harder for victims of botched abortions to sue bad doctors
  • It all would force our tax money to be used to pay for abortions

If you want to know more about this horrendous bill, go to www.StopIllinoisFOCA.com and read all about it.

As I said, we have a chance to stop this bill by urging our state reps to vote no. Please do call your rep and tell him to vote “no.”

If you are unsure of who you State Rep is, go to the Ill. State Board of Elections and search your rep by your zip code*, or address.
