“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” – Isaiah 5:20
Days ago, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) signed the unsettling and troubling House Bill 3709 into law, and it went into effect immediately. HB 3709 is an extremely concerning and dangerous law because it essentially transforms the state colleges and universities in Illinois into abortion facilities.
The law specifically orders Illinois colleges and universities to keep the abortion pill in stock and provide it for free to young women attending the institutions. Sadly, Illinois is not the only state to pass such an egregious law; similar laws have been passed in California, New York, and Massachusetts.
If an Illinois college or university has an operating health center on campus, it is required to have the abortion pill in stock and readily available. If an Illinois college or university does not have a health center, they are ordered to prescribe the dangerous pill to young women, so that they can get it off campus somewhere or through telehealth.
As Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the bill into law, he said that he was “very proud” of it. This law is truly calling evil good. Celebrating this law is, sadly, the celebration of terminating innocent life, devastating health effects on young women caused by the dangerous pill, turning academic institutions into abortion centers, promoting a culture of death, and more.
LET US PRAY…
Father, please enlighten Governor J.B. Pritzker and others who are celebrating this new Illinois law that they are truly calling that, which is evil, good. Lord, please help young women in public Illinois universities and colleges to see the wide-ranging devastation that accompanies the abortion pill. Father, empower us, Your people, to continue to fervently stand for the sanctity of life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
