The Illinois legislature has voted to repeal a law requiring that parents be notified if a child under the age of 18 seeks out an abortion and the state’s Democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker has vowed to sign the measure when it reaches his desk.
The Illinois Senate voted to approve the repeal on Tuesday and the Illinois House narrowly passed the same bill on Wednesday, leaving just Pritzker to sign the measure repealing the state’s requirement that parents be notified when their child seeks to obtain an abortion.
Supporters of the law, the Chicago Tribune noted, were “eager to affirm Illinois’ position as a bastion of abortion rights in light of a Texas law enacted earlier this year that essentially bans the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy and as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a Mississippi case later this year that could undermine the landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.”
Illinois has been at the forefront of liberalizing abortion laws, particularly following the passage of a Texas measure, which went into effect on September 1, effectively outlawing abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, around six weeks of pregnancy. Clinics in Illinois have been advertising themselves as “safe havens” for abortion, according to My Stateline Illinois, attracting out-of-state patients who might have otherwise been prevented from ending the lives of their unborn children.
Pritzker has even touted the state’s abortion laws in open pitches to corporations considering moving to Illinois, per the Washington Examiner. He “wrote to the CEOs of several Texas businesses, including Dell and Hewlett Packard, to encourage them to move to Illinois after Texas passed a law restricting abortion access,” the outlet noted. . . .

This is what a depraved mind looks like! These people don’t care about anyone or anything but money and have no fear of the Lord! This is a BAD place to be against the Sovereign God! Abortion at any time for any reason is still MURDER and there is no getting around that. They WILL answer to Him someday but they don’t think about that! I wonder if God will show the wicked ALL the pain they caused and the plans He had for all the people they had a hand in killing or abusing. If a person is willing to kill babies in the womb, do they have a limit? This is horrible, I pray they repent and turn their hearts to Christ while they still have time! People REALLY NEED to do some SOUL searching!
The horror of not notifying parents could be as serious as the young student who had an abortion and her parents were later notified of her death from an infection caused by the abortion. It devastated the whole family. Please!! think about that girl and her family when you thoughtlessly disregard the hearts of those families and parents!
