House Bill 3709
On May 31, Illinois lawmakers voted to require all state colleges and universities to provide abortion pills. This means every state campus in Illinois now has an abortion clinic in their health center. It even forces campuses to promote the abortion pills on their website.
This new law doesn’t only endanger preborn children, it endangers young women. At least 30 women have died from complications from medication abortions.
In the final version of the bill, they removed the requirement that the on-campus health center partner with a local hospital in the case of complications.
They even removed the portion of the existing law requiring medication to be approved by the FDA!
Illinois lawmakers continue to choose abortion “access” over women’s health and preborn children’s lives.

As of June 30th, Governor Pritzker has not signed the bill, but has publicly supported the bill and is expected to sign.
Since the bill hasn’t been signed, there’s still time to make the call and stop this bill!
