Battle for Life Intensifies in Illinois After Dobbs Ruling

On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court of the United States overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which fabricated the "right to privacy" and made abortion legal.

The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, was handed down by a 6 to 3 decision and means that the only abortion clinic in Mississippi will have to shut it's doors when the state's trigger law banning abortions takes effect.

Within the first few pages of the 213-page decision, , Justice Alito stated there is no constitutional right to abortion. There is no federal protection of a civil "right" to kill pre-born babies.

Illinois Family Institute celebrates the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the 1992 Casey v. Planned Parenthood held that states cannot ban pre-viability abortions, i.e. those done before a child can survive outside the womb.

Gov. JB Pritzker has made it abundantly clear that he intends to make the state of Illinois an abortion sanctuary. He, with the help of pro-abortion legislators, intends to force Illinois taxpayers to pay for the abortions of everyone.

Illinois Democrats have already made abortion less safe in the Land of Lincoln, by repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion law.

Now they want nurses and midwives along with other healthcare personnel to be able to preform abortions in Illinois in order to accommodate the flood of victims coming across state lines. Some pro-life leaders think that Illinois abortion numbers will increase by 25k to 30k a year.
