The democrats had threatened to cancel hearings on these two bills. Evidently they didn’t. The Witness Slips are overwhelmingly opposed. Will the Democrats listen?
The rag has a story on these bills in the paper today. The print edition article is titled: Illinois Abortion Bill Likely To Pass. The on-line story has a different title: Heated Battle, Likely Passage Ahead For Abortion Bill https://www.pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/heated-battle-likely-passage-ahead-for-abortion-bill/article_1107a0cc-f6f3-55e8-b3d0-c288842cc4b1.html
In the latest reason to ignore main stream media, this story is by the new News Service media around the state hired so they don’t have to cover Springfield. The story has around 15 paragraphs, it isn’t until the second to the last paragraph it says what appalls even people who believe in abortion. Partial birth abortion is murdering a viable baby and is never medically necessary. Even many pro-choice people don’t believe in government doing medical procedures on their daughters without their knowledge, kids can’t even take an aspirin at school! This is the paragraph:

Extreme abortion bills (HB 2495 and HB 2467) are now in committee. Anyone over 13 in Illinois can file “witness slips” to express opposition to these inhumane bills. These terrible bills allow partial-birth abortion, allow clinics to hide a minor’s abortion from her parents, etc. Learn about the parade of shocking provisions contained in these bills here.
We have a short window to submit these witness slips. It takes less than five minutes. Representatives use these witness slips as a measure of public opinion. Witness slips are important.

Must be over 13? Yes I do know about the facts of life, but 13 is not 18, and at least at that age you have had a chance at at least get a high school education. Over 13’s will be instructed what to do, not necessarily their true beliefs. I also think late term abortion, just to get one because someone decides too, is totally wrong, without question. Yes I have a daughter and a seventeen year old granddaughter. My granddaughter will graduate this spring from High School and I do agree she would have most all the facts to make up her own mind.
History shows she would quickly get an abortion to not have to deal with parental opinions. Next she spends the rest of her life regretting she murdered her first child.
Dawson, you should be in my home. My teenager is able to think for herself and knows that killing babies is wrong and yes she has filed a witness slip. This isn’t rocket science we’re teaching our kids. She can’t even get her ears pierced or get a tattoo without my permission. If our kids can’t figure out for themselves that murdering babies is wrong, then it’s up to us as parents to teach them. If we don’t we can send them to ISU and they’ll learn from Erik Rankin. Or, worse yet, Tari Renner at IWU.
Thank you so very much for this information about the Witness Slips. I had no idea they existed. I immediately forwarded the informaiton to 20 of my friends and asked them to share it!!
