Springfield, IL – State Senator Sue Rezin (R-Morris) released the following statements in response to the Senate passing an abortion expansion bill this evening:

“When it comes to pro-abortion laws and protections, Illinois has become the most aggressive state within the country. We are no longer discussing protecting access but are now passing laws that mandates its insurance coverage, expands who can perform certain abortion procedures, creates medical liability protections for abortion providers that doesn’t exist for labor physicians and allows the Governor to ignore provisions within our Constitution.

“Over the past couple of years, Illinois has reached a point beyond being an abortion friendly state to being a state of extreme pro-abortion laws.”
