HB 4834: Who Is Pulling the Strings?

Posted on April 29, 2026 by David E Smith

For years, Illinois has chipped away at parental authority—one bill at a time. Now the state wants control over children’s medical decisions… without parents. HB 4834 is just the latest step in stripping parents of their rights. This is not accidental. It’s a coordinated agenda.

Predictably, many on the left were again calling for increased gun control. What is a Christian response to the violence that plagues our nation?
