MILLER RESPONDS TO BIDEN AND PRITZKER'S RADICAL ABORTION POLICIES

EFFINGHAM, Ill. -  Today, on the Friday before many Americans are focused on the approaching Christmas holiday, the Biden Administration and Governor Pritzker advanced radical abortion policies that are deeply unpopular with the American people. 

Governor Pritzker signed House Bill 370, repealing parental consent requirements for minor girls receiving an abortion, and the Biden Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved mailing dangerous abortion pills to young women without a doctor's visit. 

Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) issued the following statement on this radical advancement of the abortion agenda: 

"Democrats used to say they wanted abortion to be safe, legal and rare, but today, radical abortion activists advanced measures to give young girls abortions without parental consent and to mail dangerous abortion pills to girls without a doctor's visit," Miller said. "Repealing parental consent for abortion makes vulnerable girls even more vulnerable.

"We should all be concerned that sexual abusers will take advantage of this new law by bringing the young girls they prey upon into an abortion clinic. Allowing secret abortions to be performed on minor girls without their mother's knowledge is not healthcare, it's child abuse.

"Parents are the guardians of their children, not the government and not the abortionists at Planned Parenthood."

Illinois House Bill 370 repeals the Parental Notification of Abortion Act of 1995 and goes into effect on June 1, 2022. 

The Biden FDA said it will make pandemic-era guidance permanent and create new ways to make dangerous abortion pills more accessible in the United States.
