In the year since Roe v. Wade was overturned, most states have clearly shown whether they are for or against abortion, and Illinois is no different. The state’s pro-abortion legislative supermajority has pushed through extreme pro-abortion legislation over and over again, for years. It is therefore unsurprising that the number of abortions performed in the state has increased by 54% just since last year.
The increase is mainly due to people traveling from out of state for abortions. Most of the states south of Illinois, such as Missouri and Kentucky, have passed protections for nearly all preborn children. Illinois is one of the last Midwest states with liberal abortion laws. The Illinois law still states that abortion is allowed up to “viability,” a vague and arbitrary term. This means that abortions can be committed in Illinois even late in pregnancy. A new abortion business in the state offers abortions up to 24 weeks (six months).

The number of patients coming from out of state also increased from 7%......

Illinois must be thrilled. More taxes coming into the coffers.
Pritzker thinks there is big money for Illinois in this.
It simply amazes me that the legislators of Illinois and its citizens have no fear of our Creator in charge of the universe and our very next breath. They need to be reminded there is an eternity and where they will spend it is based on their relationship with Jesus. . .heaven or hell. . Murdering God’s Creation is not a good idea. Besides, their actions do nothing more than bring the wrath of God upon the State of Illinois.
Terrible, but not unexpected.
