Vulnerable Moms and Babies Denied a Hearing

Posted on April 4, 2023 by David E Smith

In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, little if anything has changed concerning abortion in Illinois. You would think radical pro-abortion activists and legislators would be satisfied to know the status quo remains, but sadly, you would be wrong.
