Blasphemy on Billboards

Posted on October 10, 2022 by David E Smith
California Governor Gavin Newsom recently rented billboards in several pro-life states and slathered them with pro-abortion messages inviting pregnant women to get their abortions in California. One billboard in particular, however, stood out, because Newsom ended his pro-abortion message with the words of Jesus in Mark 12:31: “The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Fatuous Floor Debate on Parental Notice of Abortion Act

Posted on November 12, 2021 by David E Smith
The euphemistically titled “Youth Health and Safety Act” (HB 370) has passed both the Illinois House and Senate. Leftists who believe it takes a village to strip parents of their natural rights and strip preborn humans of their right to live are close to fulfilling their promise to make Illinois America’s bloodiest killing field.  HB 370 will repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act passed in 1995 that requires parents of minor pregnant girls to be notified at least 48 hours before girls can have their babies killed.

Illinoisans Overwhelmingly Support Parental Notice for Minors Prior to Abortion

Posted on March 29, 2021 by David E Smith

Democrat state lawmakers introduced the Repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (HB 1797 and SB 2190) in the Illinois General Assembly’s spring legislative session.

Our state lawmakers are introducing new proposals, adding to the 6,000+ bills that were introduced in the first half of the session (2019).

  • Repealing the Parental Notice
