3/9/2008 11:25:00 PM -Pro-Life Action League

We need your help TODAY to defeat the most sweeping pro-abortion bill ever proposed in Illinois: HB-5615, the "Reproductive Justice and Access Act".

HB-5615 would:


* Kill all restrictions on abortion in the state, including parental notification and the partial birth abortion ban.

* Force pro-life health care professionals to cooperate in abortion by making abortion referrals.

* Mandate "comprehensive" sex-ed programs, which promote promiscuity and undermine the family, for all public schools.

* Require taxpayers to fund abortions through Medicaid.

* Keep abortion 100% legal in Illinois if Roe v. Wade is ever overturned in the Supreme Court.


It is expected that this bill will pass through committee tomorrow and then quickly go to the House floor for a vote. We must act now to defeat this pernicious bill!
