Legislative Update for the Last Week of May 2025
The General Assembly's regular session is quickly approaching its May 31st deadline, with lawmakers grappling over the FY26 budget through debates on spending cuts, tax hikes, and gambling expansion. Our top concern, however, lies with the renewed push for suicide legislation, which assaults the sanctity of life and promotes death in our state.

Legislative Update for the Week of May 5, 2025
Illinois state lawmakers are returning to Springfield on Tuesday and are scheduled to work through Friday. Even with the May 31st General Assembly adjournment date in sight, we dare not relax. Our adversaries are working diligently to pass dubious and dangerous bills.

Every human being is created by Almighty God in His image and has inherent dignity and value. Terminal illnesses and suffering does not diminish this fact.

The Illinois Senate will be back in Springfield on Tuesday, April 1st. But the Illinois House will not be back until April 7th.

How Does Assisted Suicide Affect You?
Currently, 15 U.S. states are considering legislation that would legalize assisted suicide, and five states, where the practice is already legal, are considering legislation aimed at expanding it. We must understand that legalizing the practice, even with “guardrails,” changes the way a society thinks and acts.

A Christian Response to “Death with Dignity”
The forces of darkness in Illinois want to take the state’s death agenda to the next level. Some deceived politicians have now introduced an assisted suicide—euphemistically referred to as a “Medical Aid in Dying” or “Death with Dignity”—bill in Springfield. A bill sponsored by Illinois Senator Linda Holmes (D-Aurora), SB 3499 creates the “End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act.”

Priorities Amiss
It is hard to believe, but in this General Assembly session, State Senators Linda Holmes (D-Aurora) and Laura Fine (D-Glenview) have introduced legislation to legalize assisted suicide in Illinois (SB 3499).

Illinois Lawmakers’ Insatiable Appetite for Sexualizing Other People’s Children
The newest manifestation of the creepy desire of Springfield leftists to normalize deviance in children is the laughably named, “Keeping Youth Safe and Healthy Act” (SB 818)—a bill composed entirely of socially constructed leftist beliefs from leftist lawmakers aided and abetted by leftist pro-abortion and “LGBTQ” organizations.
SB 818 would require all public schools—including charter schools—to align teaching in grades K-5 on “personal health and safety” with “National Sex Education Standards,” which too are leftist social constructions. And it would require all upper grade sex education to align with those same …

Cultural Collision: “Comprehensive” Sex Ed Passed in Illinois Senate
Our Springfield snollygosters are working tenaciously to provide Christian parents with a plethora of reasons to abandon government schools in Illinois. On Thursday afternoon, the Illinois Senate took up and debated another "comprehensive" sex education bill (SB 818) that so-called "progressives" and their evil allies are using to indoctrinate children starting in kindergarten.
