Pastor’s Press Conference on Repeal of Parental Notice Act

We are very grateful for the large groups of Christian leaders who lobbied against HB 370 – and in favor of parental notification – in Springfield during the day on October 26th.

Unfortunately, that same afternoon, the Illinois Senate Executive Committee heard testimony on HB 370, the legislation to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. A few hours later, it was sent to the Illinois Senate floor, debated and then passed by a vote of 32-22, with 5 senators not voting.

We must not remain silent in the face of this attack on young pregnant mothers and their pre-born babies. State lawmakers should be made to feel very uncomfortable to vote in favor of repealing a bill that is intended to protect a minor girl from sexual predators and from a life or death decision for her unborn child.

The Capitol switchboard number is (217) 782-2000. Call during normal business hours and asked to be transferred to your state representative’s office. Urge them to please support parental rights and uphold the Parental Notice of Abortion law.

Please, for the sake of our daughters and for the next generation, contact your lawmakers today. And please pass this message along to friends to encourage them to respond as well.
