For the third year in a row, pro-lifers across the state worked together to defeat the so-called "Reproductive Health and Access Act," dubbed "Illinois FOCA" for its likeness to pernicious the Freedom of Choice Act in the federal Congress.
The Illinois FOCA bill would have:
* FORCED taxpayers to pay for thousands of abortions,
* IMPOSED "condom training" sex ed on our school kids and
* ESTABLISHED Illinois permanently as the abortion capital of the Midwest.
Weeks of phone calls, e-mails, prayer vigils, protests and personal meetings with legislators paid off. Yesterday's deadline for the passage of new legislation came and went without the Illinois FOCA bill ever coming up for a vote.
That means the bill is effectively dead for this year.
What's more, our enemies at Planned Parenthood, NARAL and the ACLU poured everything they had into getting this bill passed. And they failed utterly.
Join me in celebrating this great pro-life victory -- a victory not just for Illinois but for the entire nation.
Congress turned a deaf ear to the people in passing the pro-abortion Obamacare package. But in Illinois legislators listened and decided against this radical abortion expansion bill.
Thanks be to God!
