Illinois Democrats passed a bill that defies the FDA by allowing WHO to dictate abortion drug policies in the state. As the U.S. prepares to exit WHO under President Trump’s executive order, this move signals a troubling alignment with a global body known for its radical agenda. From shielding out-of-state providers to ignoring abortion pill safety concerns, Illinois is vying to become an “abortion sanctuary state” at the expense of women’s health.

Pull out your calendar for a minute. Mark off every third day this month with a red X. Then step back and take a look. Every third day, Planned Parenthood will have killed the same number of people who died in 9/11. And our taxes fund them. This must stop.               

America is a nation blessed with plenty. America is strong, rich, and leads the world in many ways. But we can't expect these things to last if we don't fix an inconvenient dearth—America is severely lacking babies.

The Trump Administration has been transparent in its desire to allow abortion access through the abortion pill, mifepristone. However, pressure against this decision has been mounting due to the alarming realities that have been found in numerous reports.

Praise God! Your fervent prayers, calls, and emails to your state lawmakers made a difference. We're thrilled to report that the radical proposal to normalize assisted suicide (SB 1950) was not called for a vote in the Illinois Senate before adjournment.

During the early evening hours on Thursday, the Illinois House narrowly passed the controversial physician-assisted suicide bill (SB 1950 Amendment 2) by a vote of 63 to 42, with two members voting "present." Eleven state representatives did not cast a vote on the legislation.

At IFI, we seek to raise awareness of and address cultural and political trends here in Illinois and throughout the nation. An increasing number of these trends pose a threat to human dignity, endangering the lives of image-bearers of the living God from conception to natural death.

Your State Representative, Dave Vella (D-Loves Park), is undecided as to how he will vote on the diabolical and demonic scheme to legalize physician-assisted assisted suicide in Illinois, HFA2 to SB 1950. Legislation like this paints the wrong picture of...

State Representative Robyn Gabel (D-Chicago) and some of her colleagues are advocating for legislation that would permit physicians to prescribe lethal drugs for suicide. This proposal directly challenges the core medical tenet of "First, do no harm," and its passage would mark a deeply concerning ethical departure for Illinois, shifting the focus from health care to death care.

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.

In a strategic maneuver, the assisted suicide legislation has been attached to a different bill, a move designed to enable the Illinois General Assembly to push this alarming measure through in the final hours of the regular session. Illinois has no demonstrated need or widespread public cry for assisted suicide. Why, then, is there such an urgent drive to legalize ending life?

There has been an intentional effort underway for several decades to bring down the West. The effort is not an open, direct attack. Rather, it involves eroding the foundations of our culture, eating away at the supports, and corroding the superstructure. The attack is indirect.

The last day of the regular session for the Illinois General Assembly is May 31st! Therefore, we have less than two weeks to petition our state lawmakers and tell them to VOTE NO on pro-suicide legislation. Devaluing life for some means devaluing life for all. The state should never normalize suicide.

Lawmakers intent on legalizing physician-assisted suicide have scheduled HB 1328, the House version of SB 9, for a subject-matter hearing in the Illinois House Executive Committee, tomorrow, May 14, 2025.

Illinois State Representative Dagmara Avelar and Senator Karina Villa are sponsoring legislation to strengthen protections for abortion access. Building on Illinois’s existing shield law, HB 3637 preempts federal law by prohibiting the Department of Health from disciplining providers whose licenses, registrations, or permits were revoked in other states for performing abortions or similar procedures.
