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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill passed the legislature Saturday. Pro-life leader calls it \u2018insulting and infantilizing\u2019 to college women.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201caccess to health care professionals\u201d who can prescribe contraception and abortion pills either on or off campus or through telehealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrat Sen. Celina Villanueva (pictured<\/em>) is the bill\u2019s chief sponsor. Her spokesperson Fatima Valerio told The College Fix<\/em> the legislation was \u201cdirectly inspired by student activists,\u201d and it is about \u201chonoring\u201d their work with \u201creal, systemic change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard from students \u2026 who\u2019ve shared how difficult it is to access basic reproductive health care while juggling school, jobs and financial stress. Many don\u2019t have transportation, some fear stigma, and too many are forced to delay care,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about university healthcare staff who may hold religious objections against providing abortions, Valerio said that public institutions can accommodate them, but someone\u2019s \u201cpersonal beliefs\u201d cannot be a reason to \u201cdelay or deny access to care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIllinois has always stood firm in protecting reproductive rights\u2014and we\u2019re not backing down,\u201d Valerio said in an email Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who supports abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League opposes the bill. Spokesperson Matt Yonke described it as particularly \u201cobjectionable\u201d in an email to The Fix<\/em> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill is \u201cinsulting and infantilizing\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further called into question whether the bill\u2019s sponsors \u201cthink so little of these students\u201d that they imagine those services must be \u201cspoonfed to them\u201d on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that, he said the bill seems focused on \u201cpropping up\u201d Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. Yonke told The Fix<\/em> it\u2019s \u201coutrageous\u201d that Illinois will force schools to expend resources so the \u201cfailing abortion giant\u201d can \u201cshore up their bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about conscientious objections for healthcare staff who oppose abortions, Yonke said Illinois has shown \u201cno mercy\u201d on issues like this in the past, so it wouldn\u2019t surprise him if someone being \u201cbullied into compliance\u201d sparks a lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinally, it\u2019s unclear that this bill does much of anything at all in the end, other than creating a bureaucratic nightmare for schools,\u201d he told The Fix<\/em>. \u201cOne of the options for providing abortion and contraception to students under this bill is via telehealth. So it\u2019s a giant fanfare for rolling out the AV cart to talk to a doctor online, something students could already do from their dorm rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/em> emailed the University of Illinois\u2019 media relations office twice last week, asking for comment on the bill\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill resembles California\u2019s Senate Bill 24<\/a>, a 2019 law that requires student health centers at public institutions of higher education to provide and fund medication abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California was the first state to require public colleges and universities to provide abortions on campus, followed by New York<\/a> and Massachusetts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s Commission on the Status of Women and Girls reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cpro-choice bona fides\u201d by passing bills that \u201cdo nothing but virtue signal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
