Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers File Suit Against Illinois Law Targeting Them

Democrats don’t want women to have choice, they want women to have abortions. The latest illustration of this is a new law in Illinois that aims to target pro-life pregnancy centers for using alleged “misinformation” to convince women not to have abortions. A group of pro-life entities is now suing the state.

Pro-life pregnancy centers explain the risks of abortion and offer alternatives, including services to assist women to keep their babies or choose adoption. Such charitable services have repeatedly drawn the ire of radical Democrats, however. The Illinois Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act prevents the use of “misinformation” to convince women not to use contraception and abortion. Fox News reported July 29 that the law, signed Thursday by Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker, could allow the attorney general’s office to prosecute cases of alleged deception from pregnancy centers and issue up to $50,000 fines.

The problem is, of course, that the definition of “misinformation” is entirely subjective. Democrats have labeled many truths as misinformation — such as saying biological men are men — when pressuring social media companies to censor. This law is not meant to stop lies but to protect abortion. Abortion centers can certainly be deceptive, leading women into thinking that they are not actually killing human babies; but the Illinois governor is not concerned about that.
