I spent the day at the Chicago archdiocese’s annual pro-life
conference:It was excellent! I thought I’d alert you to something URGENT facing Illinois, and therefore the larger pro-life community: the possible passage of a state FOCA law. We had a session about it where folks from the Thomas More society and the Catholic Conference of Illinois spoke. We received some handouts, but my computer crashed so I don’t have access to my scanner to send them to you…so I’m sending you the websites. Here, from one website:
*On March 10th the Illinois General Assembly Health and Human Services Committee passed HB 2354, the Illinois Version of FOCA. Now the bill will go before the entire Illinois House. We must mobilize NOW to call the Illinois Legislature and ask them to oppose HB 2354*. This bill has been dubbed the “Illinois FOCA” as it will remove what few restrictions on abortion we still have in Illinois.

If you wouldn’t mind posting about this, we could use the attention and the
help in opposing this!!!
