Reproductive Health and Access Advocates,

HB 4117 has been scheduled to be heard in the House Agriculture Committee hearing scheduled for Tuesday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m.  It is expected to pass out of this committee. HB 4117 would impose full ambulatory surgical treatment center (ASTC) licensing on all facilities where 50 or more abortions are performed each year. This legislation singles out abortion from other medical procedures for additional and expensive regulation.

The anti-choice groups have already sent out alerts to their members regarding this bill. We need to make sure that we are activating our supporters as well.  Here is what you can do right now to fight HB 4117:

• Call your  state representative( IL Capitol Switchboard: 217-782-2000) and tell him/her to “vote NO on HB 4117”
• Send a letter to state representatives explaining your  opposition to HB 4117.

To find out who your State Representative is go to:

Thank you!

Signal boost. From Capital Fax:

“By a 13-0 vote, before a standing-room-only room of angry abortion-rights supporters clad in “Women are not livestock” T-shirts and buttons emblazoned with a cow, the panel advanced legislation putting new financial burdens on abortion clinics.

“The bill, sponsored by Rep. Darlene Senger (R-Naperville), would require abortion clinics to be retrofitted to resemble outpatient surgery centers, meaning equipment such as defibrillators and ventilators would be required for the first time while hallway and parking-lot dimensions would have to change. […]

“The House Agriculture Committee, stocked mainly by socially conservative Democrats and Republicans from Downstate, has been the conduit to get guns-rights and anti-abortion legislation to the House floor for years — a fact critics of Senger’s bill zeroed in on.”

Trust me, this has nothing to do with making abortions safer, and everything to do with further restricting and limiting them.

   Regulation is bad! Unless we can use it to de facto eliminate abortion!
