Illinois Abolition Bill Briefing

Illinois is considering “abolition” legislation that removes abortion’s legal exception and applies equal protection to preborn children. This meeting is a clear, respectful briefing on what the bill actually says, what it would change in Illinois law, and what faithful, practical next steps look like for ordinary citizens and churches.

​We’ll walk through the language of the bill in plain terms, address common questions and objections, and consider the biblical and moral clarity behind equal protection. Illinois already recognizes the unborn as persons in parts of the homicide code—except for abortion. This bill removes that exception. Scripture is not silent here: God hates unequal weights and measures, and His people are called to protect the fatherless and love our neighbor in concrete ways.

​We’ll close with specific action steps you can take right away—how to contact your representatives, share trustworthy resources, and bring others with you. Bring a friend, especially someone who wants to understand the issue before forming an opinion.
