What will the fallout be from Illinois' new anti-baby law? How will voters and the pro-life community respond to House Bill 40 and the prospect of more abortions and taxpayers dollars to pay for them.

Feticidal maniacs in Illinois—including lawmakers—are desperate to have Rauner sign this bill into law...
Overpopulation. From its usage in Thomas Malthus’s notorious 1798 “Essay on the Principle of Population” to its resurgence in Paul Ehrlich’s 1960 “The Population Bomb,” the word invokes images of a bleak, hopeless future. As the story goes, the ever-increasing birth rate triggers rampant food shortages and systemic resource deprivation, culminating with the human race extinguishing itself.
