Illinois FOCA is no choice at all

Merchants of death in the Illinois legislature, led by Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie:
The bill would nullify or prevent all common-sense legal restrictions on abortion, including health and safety regulations for abortion facilities, informed consent, and parental notification laws.
Dubbed "Illinois’ FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act)" by pro-life advocates, the bill calls for taxpayer funding of abortion and contraception, and hamstrings the conscience rights of medical personnel who object to abortion or contraception.
Taking choice away from parents, tax payers and persons of conscience. And then there's the baby in the womb. Snuffed out anytime as no matter.

Your kid can't get an aspirin in school without going through hoops but an abortion, no problem:
Americans United for Life attorney Clarke Forsythe, who argued against the bill at yesterday’s hearing, told LifeSiteNews.com that H.B. 2354 "follows the federal FOCA in some of its critical language and would eliminate all existing regulations on abortion in Illinois - including the physician only law, the law that limits abortion practice to physicians.

"If it’s enacted, it would authorize any school nurse in any public school to do an abortion without parental knowledge," said Forsythe.
Legalized butchery in the public schools.  Is this what we need in Illinois?
