Cardinal Cupich said the vote 'marks a sad moment in our history as a State'
The Illinois Senate has approved an expansive abortion bill that would declare abortion to be a “fundamental right” in the state and would remove regulations on abortion clinics and doctors.
Shortly before midnight on the final day of the legislative session, the Senate approved the bill by a vote of 34-20. It had passed the House last week in a 64-50 vote.
The bill now goes to the desk of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who has indicated that he will sign it.
Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago said the vote “marks a sad moment in our history as a State.”
In a June 1 statement, the cardinal pledged that the local Church will continue serving women in need and show them that support and help are available, and that they should never feel that abortion is their only choice.
Illinois’ Reproductive Health Act – which the state’s bishops said is misleadingly named – would declare abortion to be a “fundamental right.” It would remove several parts of the state’s current abortion laws, several of which are not currently being enforced due to court injunctions.

fundamentalist liberals like killing babies
We care because RBG is the smartest and most important woman in America
It’s a natural, God-given right to kill a baby in the womb?
MS13 announces that aborting enemy gang members is a “fundamental right”.
Then let the women themselves murder their own babies then.
If its their right they dont need anyone else to do it. Their rights end where others’ begin, no one else has to be made to murder their baby.
Thou shall not murder. Ex. 20:13.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Beginning of second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.
Yet all these evil RATS believe in is the destruction of human life and its logical consequence, the end of the humanity.
But not speech or gun ownership.
So they made wire coat hangers legal? No regulations on abortion?
I cannot wait to leave this state. Abortion is a fundamental right, but the Second Amendment must be tightly restricted (they barely declined forcing firearm owners to submit fingerprints). WT flying F?
This state is not fixable. It’s the USSR of the USA in terms of corruption and greed.
And the Springfield bishop banned communion for those who voted for the bill
Kudos to him! And Pray for him!
Government given ‘right” is an oxymoron, in my book.
Just like with slavery, pro-abortion went from perhaps a necessary evil to a fundamental right and positive good.
by that logic, murdering anyone should be a fundamental right. Leftists are a death cult.
