4 | May 9, 2019 | the frankfort station frankfort frankfortstation.com Frankfort rally opposes proposed State abortion bills Nuria Mathog, Editor Representatives from Illinois organizations against abortion criticized proposed State legislation that aims to increase abortion access during a Sunday, May 5 rally at Peace Community Church in Frankfort. Speakers at the Rescue the Babies Rally, which brought together dozens of congregants from Frankfort and surrounding communities, included State Rep. Margo McDermed (R-Mokena); Illinois Right to Life Executive Director Mary Kate Knorr; WIND TIME TO GET PHYSICAL BACK TO SCHOOL & SPORT PHYSICALS SCHEDULE YOUR WAY TODAY! AM 560 radio talk show host Dan Proft; David Avignone, executive director of the Illinois Citizens for Ethics Political Action Committee; and Stephen Anderson, a youth pastor at Grace Fellowship Church Oak Forest. Attendees were encouraged to speak out against two Illinois House bills, whether through signing petitions, contacting State legislators directly or spreading the word through their churches and other community organizations. House Bill 2467 would repeal a 1995 law requiring parental notification for minors to have an abortion, while House Bill 249 aims to broadly expand access to abortion in Illinois. Among other changes, House Bill 2495 would repeal the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975, which created criminal penalties for performing abortions, in addition to requiring insurance companies to cover abortions. Supporters of the proposed legislation, such as the ACLU of Illinois and Planned Parenthood of Illinois, argue the bills would increase women’s autonomy and reproductive freedom, while opponents such as the speakers at Sunday’s rally claim the bills go too far in repealing restrictions on abortion. Anderson, the youth pastor, told attendees the Bible took a “very clear” stance on abortion. “The Lord sees value in every single human life, even from within the womb, because all people are created in the image of God from the point of conception,” he said. He urged attendees to pray to “change the hearts” of legislators seeking to pass the bills, stay informed about decisions being made in Illinois and vote accordingly. “This is not just an intellectual battle — this is a spiritual battle,” Anderson said. Knorr said Illinois Right to Life was confident the bills could be defeated in the House and said she had seen an “absolutely incredible” response from Illinois residents participating in rallies against the proposed legislation. “In addition to protecting the unborn, we are also here to return to these women in our state some of the dignity that they’ve lost, and really show them the mercy that they are worthy of, that we believe they are worthy of as Christians,” Knorr said. McDermed encouraged attendees to keep putting pressure on lawmakers. “It’s easy to get tired, and it’s easy to let them get away with this stuff,” she said. “And these bills are quiet right now, they’re in a dormant state ... but they could come alive in a second.” ONLINE: RIVERSIDEHEALTHCARE.ORG CONTACT YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATE CARE: NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED DOWNLOAD APP FOR LIST OF LOCATIONS RIVERSIDE SPECIAL ONLY $40 * QUICK.
