It is time to #PasstheRHA
Wednesday, May 29, 2019 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The women of Illinois are waiting. They’re waiting for lawmakers in Springfield to show that they fully support women’s reproductive rights, free of meddling interference from government. They’re waiting, and watching, as conservative legislators elsewhere target Roe v. Wade with draconian anti-abortion laws passed by conservative lawmakers who hope to someday get rid of Roe v. Wade. Some of those laws ban abortions even in cases of rape or incest. Others allow women or their doctors to be prosecuted for undergoing or performing abortions. Illinois is solidly pro-choice, but we must ensure protections for future generations of women. Should one of those medieval laws land before a conservative Supreme Court that is eager to overturn Roe, it would threaten abortion rights here and elsewhere. Lawmakers in Illinois need not allow that chance. They can safeguard the reproductive rights of women in Illinois by moving quickly to pass … the Reproductive Health Act. The bill would keep abortion and reproductive care safe and accessible by repealing decades-old laws that restrict, and in some cases criminalize, abortion.
