Illinois House Bill 2354, the "Reproductive Health and Access Act" better known
as "Illinois FOCA", will NOT be called for a vote April 3, 2009, the last day
for the House to pass it. |
|
All our hard work has paid off. The phone calls, letters, petitions and protests
sent a message to our State Representatives. |
|
For those of you just now reading about the attempt made in Illinois to recind
the right of conscience of healthcare workers, read the brief article below. |

HB 2354, the Reproductive Health and Access Act is the same as the Federal
proposition but at the state level. HB 2354 is intended to take away the right
of conscience of medical personnel in Illinois.
