In three weeks our state lawmakers will adjourn, if they follow their published schedule to end session on May 19, 2023. Our lobbyist strongly feels that a flood of phone calls into Springfield offices could be enough to stop efforts to pass these egregious bills.

CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR
to oppose the following bills:

HB 1286 legalizes all-gender multiple-occupancy public bathrooms, putting women and girls in danger of voyeurism, sexual assault, or worse. It has already passed in the Illinois House by a partisan vote of 60 to 40 with 1 voting Present. The deadline to be heard in the Illinois Senate Executive Committee was extended to this week. In addition, if you haven’t yet submitted a witness slip in opposition to HB 1286, click HERE.

-Fill out your name, address, email and phone number. Leave everything else blank unless it requires the blank to be filled, then try self, citizen, or voter.
-Highlight “Opponent” and “Record of Appearance Only.”

-Check Terms of Agreement and click Create Slip.

HB 1596 deletes masculine and feminine pronouns in numerous state laws and replaces them with genderless terms. It passed out of the Illinois House and now goes to the full Illinois Senate.

HB 2039 turns over your personal health records to local health departments “for the purposes of preventing or controlling disease, injury, or disability” and “provides the Department of Public Health, the Department of Human Services, and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may adopt any rules necessary to implement the Act.” Think lockdowns, vaccine intimidation, and masks. It passed out of the Illinois House and now goes to the full Illinois Senate.

CALL YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE
to oppose the following bills:

SB 1909 has been termed the Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act. Its intention is to shut down pregnancy care centers. It allows the Illinois Attorney General to investigate and take action in response to any complaint against a pregnancy care center for alleged

“deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, or misrepresentation, or the concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact, with the intent that others rely upon the concealment, suppression or omission of such material fact: to interfere with an individual seeking to gain entry or access to a provider of abortion or emergency contraception…”

Imagine the pro-abortion activists getting in line to file phony complaints. It passed out of the Illinois Senate and now goes to the full Illinois House.

SB 1344 mandates abortifacient and hormonal therapy coverage for transgenders in all Illinois insurance policies. Your premiums will be paying for these. It passed out of the Illinois Senate and now goes to the full Illinois House.
