Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Signs Bill Ending Parental Notification for Teen Girls’ Abortions
Dr. Susan Berry 18 Dec 2021
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) signed legislation that repeals the state’s last pro-life law by allowing minor girls to obtain abortions without their parents’ knowledge.
“With reproductive rights under attack across the nation, Illinois is once again establishing itself as a leader in ensuring access to healthcare services,” Pritzker said Friday, complying with the abortion industry’s narrative that ending the lives of unborn children is “women’s health care.”
Pritzker said he was “proud” of his legislature for passing HB 370, named by Democrats the Youth Health and Safety Act:
This repeal was essential, because it was the most vulnerable pregnant minors who were punished by this law: victims of rape and physical abuse in unsafe homes. I thank Representative Anna Moeller, Senator Elgie Sims and the lawmakers and advocates who have fiercely fought to repeal this law and keep vulnerable young people safe. I’m proud that Illinois continues to be a national leader in protecting reproductive rights.
Amy C. Gehrke, executive director of Illinois Right to Life, tweeted that, by signing the bill into law, Pritzker “ignored the will of Illinois voters, usurped the right of Illinois parents to be involved in their children’s health care, and endangered countless minor girls.”
