Illinois passes a bill far worse than New Yorks


Just two days ago the state of Illinois passed a bill so extreme that thousands marched to the capitol to protest against it and make their voices heard. 


The bill is even more extreme than the New York Health and Reproductive Act, passed in January this year. 

HB2495 would virtually eliminate all protections for preborn children, allow infanticide, remove conscience protection laws for health care workers, allow taxpayer funding for abortion, and more. HB 2467 would repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, making it so that minors can obtain abortions without parental notification. 

So, if you are thinking that this doesn’t affect you because you do not live in the state of Illinois then listen up. 
It can.
This does have the ability to affect you even if you are in another state or country. 

There is a saying that when America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold. 
Trends that are started in America are easily picked up by the rest of the world. 
I live in South Africa and we have some of the most liberal laws surrounding abortion, in the world. But there are a few things that you can do, no matter where in the world you live, to try to keep the brakes on the laws regarding abortion.

Information. 

People cannot make informed decisions without information and women and girls cannot make informed decisions about their reproductive health if they are not empowered with information. Information can be easily shared on social media and just taking a few moments to share an article regarding pro-life issues could be really helpful to someone who is needing it at that moment. Visit our Facebook page Project Life Pro-Life SA, and follow us on social media. Take the time to share articles.

Petitions 

Don’t just ignore petitions. 22000 signatures speak louder than 32 signatures. 

Know your stuff.

Make yourself aware of the laws surrounding abortion in your country. 
Understand the scientific view of aborton and how it supports the fact that life begins at conception. 
You will be challenged if you share your views, so be prepared to inform people and defend your point of view. Using a scientific and logical argument is more effective as not everyone you meet is religious, and pointing out the dangers to a womans health, both physically and mentally, is a great argument against abortion too.

Unite

Weather you are a Baptist or a Catholic, the Church needs to stand together if we are going to be an effective voice for the unborn.

Pro-Life Muslims, pro-life Christians, pro-life Atheists, and everyone in-between need to unite for the cause and fight for the rights of the unborn together.

Be brave

Do not be afraid to speak out against abortion and share your views. 
Be brave and speak up, even if your voice shakes.
