Illinois Department of Public Health Awards $2 Million in Training Grants to 3 Groups to Improve Reproductive Health Services
Official Illinois state government press release ^ | April 11, 2024 | Official Illinois state government press release

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced it has awarded $2 million to three different organizations to provide training that will increase access to safe, high-quality abortions across the state. The Abortion Provider Capacity Building Grant Program awarded grants to the Midwest Access Project (MAP), Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL), and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Nursing.

The first-of-its-kind in Illinois, state-funded training effort follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that eliminated the constitutional right to abortion in the United States and allowed states to restrict access to abortion. While Illinois guarantees the right to an abortion under state law, many surrounding states have imposed restrictions on access to abortion. Although the number of abortions provided for Illinois women declined slightly in 2022, the number provided in Illinois for out-of-state residents increased 49%, according to IDPH data.

“When I said Illinois would be an oasis for women seeking reproductive care, I meant it,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “Thanks to the Abortion Provider Capacity Building Grant Program, we will offer health care providers—who are meeting the moment with compassion and service—access to the training and mentorship they need to deliver the care women deserve.”

Probably also a get-out-the-vote initiative

Glad I moved to Iowa. Close enough to visit family and friends but far away from the progressives.

Is the Swamp Drainable?

BILL RICE APRIL 18, 2024

Our heroic swamp drainers would somehow have to scuttle the Military Industrial Complex, the Science/Medicine Industrial Complex, the Higher Education Complex, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Environmentalism…and I haven’t even mentioned the Federal Reserve or the international organizations like the UN and the WHO that are increasingly spreading world-government and communism-light.

“Glad I moved to Iowa. Close enough to visit family and friends but far away from the progressives.”

My wife has a lot DNA relatives still living in Illinois, and they get $crewed by the libs in power on a daily basis.

Some, but not enough relatives have moved to Iowa or Indiana for lower taxes, better living and safer places to raise families or to retire.

State issue right? That’s all we wanted and could hope for. Let the people in Illinois deal with it. If it bothers you move there and do something about it.

I wonder if the Anti-Christ will come on the scene promising to ‘drain the whole swamp’ and lay out how they are gonna do it- and citizens will flock to him because they are so fed up with the swamp-

Will the AntiChrist come as an angel of good? or as a brutal dictator that scares people into submission? The bible states that the world (the unsaved world) will flock to him with amazement and adoration as a ‘problem solver’

Groups like the WEF and the feckless greenie cultists all want to lead as brutal dictators whose word must be obeyed or else- The AC however will deceive the nations

Yes, the fetuses are there, so it can’t be called “Non-reproductive Health.”

They are specifically undoing the reproduction that occurred by killing it.

No, they aren’t training for reproductive health care.

They are training for the purpose of increasing abortion industry profits and harming women and children.

Big difference.
