To the great sorrow of pro-life, pro-family citizens of Illinois, on December 17, 2021, Governor Pritzker signed into law House Bill 370, thereby repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion Act and eliminating the right for parents to be made aware of a minor daughter's pregnancy and impending abortion. Joining me for an important Spotlight conversation are IFI contributors Kenna Rose and Alyssa. Please listen as we discuss the impact of the repeal of the Parental Notice of Abortion Act and the repercussions of HB 370, the disingenuously named Illinois Youth Health and Safety Act. We offer our perspective on the blessings we have experienced growing up with parents who prioritize strong, loving and trusting family relationships and education that supports and reinforces a biblical worldview. Ultimately, we hope our discussion will affirm and encourage parents as they strive to connect with their children on a deeper level and help them to establish God-honoring moral boundaries.

The euphemistically titled “Youth Health and Safety Act” (HB 370) has passed both the Illinois House and Senate. Leftists who believe it takes a village to strip parents of their natural rights and strip preborn humans of their right to live are close to fulfilling their promise to make Illinois America's bloodiest killing field. HB 370 will repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act passed in 1995 that requires parents of minor pregnant girls to be notified at least 48 hours before girls can have their babies killed. In another repugnant floor debate in Springfield, State Representative Anna Moeller (D-Elgin) asserted without proving that there is a “fundamental principle that everyone has the right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions without interference.” Translated, she means there exists a right for underage pregnant girls to have their babies slaughtered without their parents being notified. Let's remember, girls as young as eight can become pregnant. Read more...

Host Bob Gilligan talks with Mary-Louise Hengesbaugh with Girls' Health First. They discuss Illinois HB1797 which proposes to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act.
We all want young people to be able to talk to their parents about important life decisions. However, the idea that the government can force healthy family interactions ignores reality for many youth and the lasting injuries that result from enforcing these laws. That is why the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (PNA) is dangerous in Illinois and must be repealed. We are joined by Emily Werth, ACLU of IL Women's and Reproductive Rights Project Staff Attorney, as well as two experts who have seen the harms of PNA up close: Dr. Rebecca Commito, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chicago, and Retired Judge Susan Fox Gillis. You can also learn more about SB 2190 and take action by going to: https://www.aclu-il.org/en/legislation/sb-2190-repeal-pna

For better or worse, the Illinois General Assembly is back in session and a plethora of controversial, radical, and just plain ridiculous bills are scheduled for consideration. Monte Larrick and David Smith are joined by Jenna Smith, David's oldest daughter, as they discuss the compelling reasons to retain the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. Jenna shares her perspective as an older teen and articulates the devastating mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences that could impact young girls (17-years and younger) if parental notification is repealed. In the second segment of Spotlight, Monte and David cover some of the other bills and topics that will likely be addressed by the 102nd General Assembly: the REACH Act (sex education beginning in kindergarten); Critical Race Theory; decriminalization of hard drugs; balloon restrictions; and taxpayer-funded legal representation for dogs and cats – you can't make this stuff up, folks. On a positive note, they also discuss the advantages of the Invest in Kids program and Rep. Brad Halbrook's (R-Shelbyville) resolution to make Chicago the 51st state.

Written by Benjamin Smith Just when Illinoisans thought things couldn't get any worse, the Illinois State Legislature's spring session sets out to prove us all wrong. On this week's podcast, Monte Larrick and David Smith discuss several of the reprehensible, sin-enabling bills that are on the Democratic Party's agenda for the 102nd General Assembly. Monte and David emphasize the urgent need for parents to remove their children from public schools ASAP, an action necessitated in part by the recently approved “Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards” amendment. On a more hopeful note, the podcast concludes with a glimpse of future IFI and IFA education campaigns, as well as information about an IFI Worldview Conference scheduled for May. Stay tuned to Spotlight for more details! ACTION: Please talk to your state lawmakers and ask them to oppose the repeal of the Parental Notice of Abortion act, the REACH act, extension of sex-ed, racist CRT teaching standards, and other bills that oppose biblical values. Find out more about the bills here, and pinpoint your elected officials here. The capitol switchboard number is (217) 782-2000. Discover more about this weekend's Peoria homeschool convention HERE. Check out the Illinois Christian Home Educators family convention and website.
While numerous businesses have been designated as “essential” and allowed to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, Illinois' governor has deemed houses of worship for all faith traditions as non-essential entities, denying people of faith access to these facilities for corporate worship and prayer. Monte Larrick spoke with Pro-Life Action League's Ann Scheidler at a May 1st prayer vigil, held outside Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, to protest Governor Pritzker's overreach. Mrs. Scheidler emphasized that now is the opportune time to stand up for our civil and religious liberties, as well as step up our pro-life activism. Currently the Illinois legislature is adjourned, but the “progressive” majority in Springfield have made clear their intent to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act and to enact additional anti-family legislation. Mrs. Scheidler details why and how Christians and pro-life citizens must act now to elect pro-life candidates and derail legislation that will increase teen abortion rates and facilitate sex trafficking. Ann Scheidler is the Vice President of Pro-Life Action League and Chair of SpeakOut Illinois.
Right to Life issues have been under attack for quite some time in our state, so it should come as no surprise that Illinois' “progressive” legislators have their sights trained on yet another pro-life, pro-female protective measure. In a conversation at the SpeakOut Illinois conference in February, Mary Louise Hengesbaugh, director of Illinois Citizens for Ethics PAC, and Monte Larrick discuss the crucial benefits and protections afforded minors by the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. In turn, they detail the disastrous ramifications that will arise if the Illinois legislature succeeds in modifying or repealing this Act. Also in this podcast, Mrs. Hengesbaugh provides information about Girls' Health First, an initiative of ICE-PAC. Please visit Girls' Health First to learn how you can fight back against attempts to modify or repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. Please listen and share with your like-minded friends!
At the recent SpeakOut Illinois conference, Monte Larrick had the opportunity to connect with Illinois State Senator Dan McConchie of the 26th district. To begin this edition of Spotlight, Sen. McConchie described his approach to his senatorial responsibilities and gave detailed advice to constituents who want to have productive interactions with their elected officials in Springfield. Monte and Sen. McConchie considered how efforts to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act, mandate HPV vaccinations for ALL Illinois youth, and eliminate any religious exemption for immunizations are trampling on parental rights. They also discussed Planned Parenthood's support of a proposed expansion of comprehensive K-12 sex education and a lack of movement regarding ethics and pension reform.
