Abortion opponents have not given up on reinstating parental notification of abortion.
Polling done in March 2021 shows that 72 percent of i voters, including a whole 58 percent who identify as pro-choice, support parental notice of abortion,” said Amy Gehrke, executive director of Illinois Right to Life.
But what chance does this have of being signed into law, let alone even called for a vote? State Rep. Tom Morrison (R-Palatine), said the state’s three top Democrats, Gov. JB Pritzker, House Speaker Chris Welch (D-Hillside), and Senate President Don Harmon (D-Oak Park), “are completely in the tank for Illinois’ abortion industry and Personal PAC, their campaign apparatus. Voters will have to weigh in and shift the balance of power in Springfield back to those who respect parents more than abortion industry providers.”
