Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Signs Bill Targeting Pro-Life Pregnancy CentersKatherine Hamilton 28 Jul 2023
Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill on Thursday that would target pro-life pregnancy centers by cracking down on so-called “deceptive practices” that dissuade women from women from aborting their unborn babies.
The bill, SB 1909, claims Illinoisans have been “misled” by crisis pregnancy centers, and that the state “has an interest to protect against deceptive, fraudulent, and misleading advertising and practices that interfere with an individual’s ability to make autonomous, informed, and evidence-based decisions about the individual’s reproductive health and have timely access to quality reproductive health care that adheres to accepted standards of medical practice or care.”
The bill also gives the Illinois Attorney General Office the ability to determine what deception is or “omission of material fact.” Centers in violation of the law could be fined up to $50,000.
