Stop FOCA in Illinois: HB 2354
On March 10th the Illinois General Assembly Health and Human Services Committee passed HB 2354, the Illinois Version of FOCA. Now the bill will go before the entire Illinois House. We must mobilize NOW to call the Illinois Legislature and ask them to oppose HB 2354. This bill has been dubbed the "Illinois FOCA" as it will remove what few restrictions on abortion we still have in Illinois.
