Illinois Soon Could Be Next State to Mandate Abortions on Campus

Demonrats are becoming the party of death as they expose themselves for the ghouls that they are, lusting after the blood of the unborn. The students can already get the abortion drug through the mail, so is this just to accommodate how stupid the indoctrinated young Demonrats are at these colleges? As you can’t let a possible murdered baby slip through the cracks. The wife was watching a YouTube video where women were admitting how many abortions they’d recently gotten, and it was pretty scary for how many and for how shameless they were about it. And this Mifepristone drug they’re using is incredibly dangerous, and who knows the long term side effects of using it if it doesn’t kill you along with the baby. The people left after the extraction of the church are going to have every bit of the tribulation coming to them.

Bill passed the legislature Saturday. Pro-life leader calls it ‘insulting and infantilizing’ to college women.

Illinois may soon become the next state to require public universities to offer abortions on campus after the state legislature passed House Bill 3709 on Saturday.

The bill requires public institutions of higher education to provide access to contraception and medication abortions if they have a student health center, starting in the 2025-2026 school year.

If the university health center includes a pharmacy on campus, it must provide contraception and abortion pills to students, according to the bill. Institutions that do not have a pharmacy on campus will be required to provide students with “access to health care professionals” who can prescribe contraception and abortion pills either on or off campus or through telehealth.

Democrat Sen. Celina Villanueva (pictured) is the bill’s chief sponsor. Her spokesperson Fatima Valerio told The College Fix the legislation was “directly inspired by student activists,” and it is about “honoring” their work with “real, systemic change.”

“I’ve heard from students … who’ve shared how difficult it is to access basic reproductive health care while juggling school, jobs and financial stress. Many don’t have transportation, some fear stigma, and too many are forced to delay care,” the spokesperson said.

When asked about university healthcare staff who may hold religious objections against providing abortions, Valerio said that public institutions can accommodate them, but someone’s “personal beliefs” cannot be a reason to “delay or deny access to care.”

“Illinois has always stood firm in protecting reproductive rights—and we’re not backing down,” Valerio said in an email Thursday.

The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who supports abortion.

The Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League opposes the bill. Spokesperson Matt Yonke described it as particularly “objectionable” in an email to The Fix last week.

The bill is “insulting and infantilizing” to college women, Yonke said, adding that many women travel to Illinois from other states for free, taxpayer-funded abortions because of how widely available they are there.

He further called into question whether the bill’s sponsors “think so little of these students” that they imagine those services must be “spoonfed to them” on campus.

Beyond that, he said the bill seems focused on “propping up” Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. Yonke told The Fix it’s “outrageous” that Illinois will force schools to expend resources so the “failing abortion giant” can “shore up their bottom line.”

When asked about conscientious objections for healthcare staff who oppose abortions, Yonke said Illinois has shown “no mercy” on issues like this in the past, so it wouldn’t surprise him if someone being “bullied into compliance” sparks a lawsuit.

“Finally, it’s unclear that this bill does much of anything at all in the end, other than creating a bureaucratic nightmare for schools,” he told The Fix. “One of the options for providing abortion and contraception to students under this bill is via telehealth. So it’s a giant fanfare for rolling out the AV cart to talk to a doctor online, something students could already do from their dorm rooms.”

The Fix emailed the University of Illinois’ media relations office twice last week, asking for comment on the bill’s financial and First Amendment implications, but it did not respond. The University of Illinois System is the largest higher education institution in the state and would be the entity most affected by the bill.

The bill resembles California’s Senate Bill 24, a 2019 law that requires student health centers at public institutions of higher education to provide and fund medication abortions.

California was the first state to require public colleges and universities to provide abortions on campus, followed by New York and Massachusetts.

In fiscal year 2023-2024, student health centers at each California State University campus spent a combined total of at least $2,595,570 facilitating 276 abortions, California’s Commission on the Status of Women and Girls reported.

Yonke said he doubts bills like these represent a national trend as they were passed in states where abortion is already widely available. Rather, he suggested they are examples of legislators trying to prove their “pro-choice bona fides” by passing bills that “do nothing but virtue signal.”
